The Mary Tyler Whores Announce New Single “Whip It”

Punk Rock chaos is about to erupt as The Mary Tyler Whores are set to unleash their highly anticipated fourth single and video, Whip It, on the 14th March via Golden Robot Records. Produced by Punk legend Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks / Bad Religion), this turbocharged, high-voltage version of Devo‘s cult classic slaps harder than ever, dripping with the band’s signature filthy punk energy. The single will be accompanied by a video that features Greg Hetson as a retro 1980’s style MTV VJ who announces an alien invasion over Los Angeles. What follows is pure Punk mayhem that blends surrealism with pure Punk destruction.

“The first time I ever heard Devo’s ‘Whip It,’ I was 10 years old in Bushwick, Brooklyn. My father took me to my brother’s dive bar, and the song was blasting while some wild daredevil chick was riding a mechanical bull. That moment seared itself into my brain. I asked my brother, ‘What the hell kinda music is this?’ and from then on, Devo became a cornerstone of my love for punk and new wave. Devo were like mad punk scientists, anti-rock, full of humor, anger, and bizarre visuals. We’ve always carried that same weird, chaotic energy. Covering ‘Whip It’ felt like the perfect way to pay tribute while ripping it open for a new generation.” (frontman Frankie “Crime” Cassara)
