Toronto-based band Partners in Crime, formed by musicians Colin Whiteford and Doug Pegg, have roots that trace back to their school days. Influenced by classic rock n’ roll, the Beatles and all thiings British rock, the duo has created music that has charted across Canada and been played in major stadiums.
Despite their success, some of their tracks were shelved and temporarily lost. One such track, their single “Randy Girls,” has recently been rediscovered and officially released, thanks to the efforts of East Coast fame Doug McClement.
“Randy Girls” was recorded at Kinck Sound and produced by Fred Kinck Petersen and Terry Gadsden, mixed by Doug McClement and mastered at Phase One Studios by Noah. This song channels the band’s influences, such as the Beatles and the Beach Boys, to craft a summer-ready musical anthem.
The track is an ode to being carefree, going on vacation and meeting beautiful girls, distilling the essence of summer fun and adventure. The lead single and opening track of the band’s brand new record, “Randy Girls” marks an emphatic return for the exciting musical vision of Partners in Crime.
The production team behind “Randy Girls” deserves credit for their work on the track. Fred Kinck Petersen and Terry Gadsden’s production is superb, bringing out the best in each element of the song. Doug McClement’s mixing ensures that every instrument is heard clearly, while Noah’s mastering adds the final touch of shine that makes the track radio-ready and impactful.
Brought in by the rolling shuffle of drums, the bright twang of lead guitar sets the tone as the vocals enter alongside the vibrant pips of sax leads, resulting in an upbeat rock n’ roll jam that channels the very best of the classic style through Partners in Crime’s own style. Full of charming vocal hooks, playful lyricism and a colourful arrangement driven by danceable rhythm, “Randy Girls” showcases the stellar sound of Partners in Crime while seeing them breathe new live into a classic song from their back catalogue.
