TAXI GIRLS

About

The all-female garage punk outfit TAXI GIRLS has quickly emerged from the city’s underground with a sound rooted in punchy hooks, raw edge and rock ’n’ roll swagger, nodding to The Donnas, Joan Jett and Nikki Corvette. Like a snowy cab ride down Saint-Laurent after last call, their music carries the texture of late-night dépanneur runs, sesame bagels eaten on the curb, a Labatt 50 sweating in hand and a DuMaurier burned down to the filter. That feeling fuels a mix of garage rock cool and punk urgency, with infectious energy and a clear sense of identity. Big hooks cut through blown-out guitars, while the dual-vocal dynamic between Jamie Radu and Vera keeps everything shifting, trading lines, colliding and snapping into focus without losing control. Since forming, Taxi Girls have built momentum within Canada’s punk and indie rock communities, sharing stages with NOBRO, NOFX, Lagwagon, The Hives, Billy Talent and Pansy Division. Their growing buzz has reached well beyond Montreal, with Iggy Pop championing the band on his BBC 6 Music radio show.
