Black Lips

A scuzzy Atlanta-based combo with a penchant for playing delightfully messed up garage rock, Black Lips were one of the revelations of 2007 with a series of jaw-dropping UK shows.

Banned from several Georgia venues due to the band's stage smashing tendencies, Black Lips are one of the funnest and most downright rock 'n' roll bands we've seen for a long, long time.

Black Lips – Short Fuse

Psychedelic garage rock kids The Black Lips describe themselves as a 'flower punk band'. This description seems right on the money. It is laid to bare on this track as a soft, dream-like haze floats atop the rather nice, dirgy surf riff, and chokes it to death.

This track has both that shouty kid quality, and a toothy DIY shine. But it also feels kind of dull. It doesn't go far enough in any direction, but listlessly plugs away at common denominator punk, rock and noise references.
