Black Lips!

Blown-out, redlined garage punk that sounds like it was recorded through a broken telephone. Shambolic, catchy, and aggressively lo-fi.

It sounds like a 1965 garage band got into a fight with a 1980 punk band and recorded it on a boombox.

A chaotic, high-energy celebration of trashy aesthetics and rebellious youth.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the sudden, jarring transition into the frantic 'I've Got a Knife' that lasts barely over a minute

the surprisingly earnest and melodic 60s-style vocal harmonies buried under the fuzz on 'Steps'

the chaotic, feedback-laden ending of 'You're Dumb' that feels like the band is breaking their gear
