Following Third Man Records’ reissue of The Belair Lip Bombs’ (the label’s first Australian signing) 2023 debut album ‘Lush Life’ last year - which gained widespread praise including a ⅘ NME review, 7.8 Pitchfork review by Laura Snapes, a Guardian Ones To Watch piece and a ‘Best Rock or Punk Work’ award at the Victoria Music Awards - the Melbourne four-piece are gearing up to release their eagerly anticipated second album 'Again' on 31st October.
Helmed by Maisie Everett (guitar, keys, vox) and fleshed out by a talented trio of musicians in Mike Bradvica (guitars), Jimmy Droughton (bass) and Daniel Devvlin (drums), it was recorded with producer Joe White of Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever. (‘Again’ cements the Lip Bombs (as a longterm fixture in the current indie scene) ). “Hey You", the first single to be taken from the record, captures the band's widescreen songwriting and innate knack for soaring melodies.
