Armed with an acoustic guitar, some drum loops and a Greyhound bus pass, Bad Flirt was once just a touring solo project for singer/songwriter Jasamine White Gluz. She dove into the burgeoning Montreal scene in 2002 quickly, a then small but vibrant community. This was during the same embryonic period that yielded the scene’s indie pop ambassadors Arcade Fire, The Unicorns and Stars.

By 2005, Jasamine had decided to expand Bad Flirt into a full group by enlisting various musicians she had met in her travels. As a result, there were two releases: the EP Six Ways To Break Your Heart and the 7”/Cd Single Head On. These albums sold thousands of copies over the band’s intense North American touring schedule that included shows with Paramore The Kills, The Thermals, Bayside, Lightning Bolt and Rogue Wave. It was also during this time that Bad Flirt garnered the attention of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, who proclaimed in the media that Bad Flirt was their favourite new band.

Following their hectic touring, the band buckled down with famed award winning producer Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Wolf Parade) to create Virgin Talk.

The idea for Virgin Talk stemmed from the band‘s love for a certain 90‘s family sitcom. Using the ideas of youth and childhood memories as the backdrop, Bad Flirt created an homage to the splendour of innocence.

Virgin Talk is high-energy pop rock that´s chalk full of stellar hooks with perfectly archetypal post-punk bass lines. From the danceable chaos of Hiroshima Mon Frere to the lingering lines of Separate Rooms, Virgin Talk is a ‘stuck-in-your-head-for-days’ kind of album. Bad Flirt invited Davey Von Bohlen (Promise Ring, Cap N Jazz) to sing a duet on the album, the band being heavily influenced by Von Bohlen’s works.

The immediate critical acclaim of Virgin Talk, including a spot on Punknews.org’s Top 20 Punk albums of 2008, lead to many more opportunities. Some of these opportunities included a headlining spot at Toronto’s Virgin Fest alongside the Foo Fighters, Against Me! And MGMT, as well as the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the sole opening act for Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las’ hometown comeback show at the Blender Theatre at Gramercy in NYC.
