Taxi Girls - "Rainy"

Taxi Girls have only been around for two years, but the Montreal band has already played with bands including NOFX, Lagwagon, The Hives, and Pansy Division. Their latest single, "Rainy," is a garage rock meets punk track that's just as rough as it is polished. It's dripping with attitude and venom towards a former friend of the band. It's angry, but it's also fun. This is the type of song that puts the punk back in pop punk, with all of the edge and rough side of garage rock. Plus, "Rainy" contains one of the catchiest choruses we've heard in a punk track in a long, long time.

Taxi Girls say of their latest single:

“Rainy was first written during the winter of 2018, blending post-grunge and dark synth-pop influences. Originally, the song explored the emptiness of substance-fuelled lifestyles, and the stark loneliness of realizing party friends aren’t true allies, leaving you in a downward spiral. Fast forward to 2024—The song morphed into a story about an ex-friend who treated us poorly—someone we’ve got dirt on, saved for a rainy day! We had a blast bringing this one to life.”
