Montreal’s TAXI GIRLS arrive with _Static_, their debut full-length album, out June
26 on Stomp Records. If the first two singles introduced the band, _Static_ is where
the full picture develops. Across ten tracks, TAXI GIRLS pull together giant hooks,
sharp songwriting, dual-vocal chemistry, and a deep appreciation for the women who
made rock and roll dangerous, stylish, and impossible to ignore.

There are flashes of The Runaways, Girlschool, Nikki Corvette, The No Talents, and
the melodic punch of classic power pop throughout the record, but never as imitation.
These songs feel less like homage and more like continuation.

The album feels born from afternoons spent digging through dusty bins, arguments
over forgotten punk singles, and record bags slung over shoulders. Mile End bars
become afterparties. Somebody always puts on the perfect 45 at exactly the right
moment. The city is everywhere on _Static_, not as subject matter, but as perspective.
It’s the sound of a band raised on great records, great stories, and the belief 
that a three-minute song can still change your day.

While the album carries plenty of swagger, it also reveals a band willing to dig
deeper. Across _Static_, TAXI GIRLS explore love, loss, mental health, postpartum
depression, self-doubt, and the strange comfort of nostalgia. The songs don’t offer
neat conclusions or easy answers. Instead, they trace the difficult path toward 
self-acceptance, resilience, and learning when to let go of the things that no longer
serve you.

The album’s title captures that tension perfectly. _Static_ represents the feeling
of being stuck while somehow remaining in motion, caught between reflection and 
reinvention. Even the lemon on the album cover reflects that spirit. It’s a symbol
of making the best of life’s worst situations, finding meaning in setbacks, and 
pushing forward when standing still would be easier.

Standout tracks “Say It!”, “Secret Handshake”, and release-week focus track “Midnight
Mixtape” showcase the band’s ability to pair emotional honesty with undeniable hooks.
Vocals move effortlessly from sweet to scathing. Guitars crash, jangle, and soar.
Pop melodies collide with garage rock energy in a way that feels both familiar and
entirely their own.

As New Noise Magazine observed, the band’s songs “play out like a dual-sided Greek
theater mask,” balancing disillusionment and hope while drawing from deeply personal
experiences.

That combination has helped TAXI GIRLS build a reputation well beyond Montreal. 
Over the past year, the band has shared stages with NOBRO, NOFX, Lagwagon, The Hives,
Billy Talent, and Pansy Division, winning over audiences through explosive live 
performances and sharp songwriting. Their growing momentum eventually caught the
attention of Iggy Pop, who championed the band on his BBC 6 Music radio program 
and introduced their music to listeners around the world.

With _Static_, TAXI GIRLS deliver a debut that feels confident, memorable, and fully
realized. It’s a record built on great songs, impeccable taste, and an understanding
that rock and roll works best when it comes from a real place. Equal parts heart,
attitude, and hook, _Static_ captures a band stepping fully into their identity 
while reminding us why we fell in love with records in the first place.
