After making an auspicious return late last year with a new video for 1998’s “Duvet,” rumors have abounded that English indie/alt. rock band Bôa would soon be announcing a new album. Now, the trio of Jasmine Rodgers, Alex Caird, and Lee Sullivan has confirmed that Whiplash will be arriving on October 18, with the title track serving as its latest single. “From the first moment in the rehearsal room, we were writing again,” Rodgers explains, stating that she had experienced a breakup in the midst of the songwriting period, leading to regrets, reflection, and eventual acceptance; “The song ‘Whiplash’ could be about breakups, but could also be the crazy ride Lee, Al, and I have been on,” she adds, with the Harris Alvi directed music video featuring the band in a live club performance, alongside acting performances by Harvey Quinn, Adele Marie, and Kirsty Smith.
