"Again, one of the year's best indie rock albums, comes courtesy of the Belair Lip Bombs, a Melbourne four-piece who write with a precision and attention to melody that could put hired-gun pop songwriters to shame. Their second album, which follows their 2023 debut, Lush Life, looks set to establish the Lip Bombs guitarist and vocalist Maisie Everett, bass player Jimmy Droughton, drummer Daniel Devlin and guitarist Mike Bradvica as rising stars in Australia and far beyond."
"It's cool being part of a record release where people are going to hear it, whereas I think with the last record [we] put it out without any expectations, says Devlin, on a video call with Everett from Toronto, where the band are in the middle of a North American tour supporting Spacey Jane. And sonically, we've pushed the sound into different directions, which is fun for us."
"The Belair Lip Bombs hail from Frankston, a suburb of Melbourne situated on the Mornington Peninsula, and cut their teeth playing at Singing Bird Studios, an all-ages venue and recording space around which a small, tight-knit community of bands has emerged. The band recorded their first two EPs which were noisier and looser than either of their albums there, and still see it as a vital community resource."
The Belair Lip Bombs are a Melbourne four-piece comprising Maisie Everett, Jimmy Droughton, Daniel Devlin and Mike Bradvica. Their second album follows 2023 debut Lush Life and is the band's first release for Jack White's Third Man Records after Lush Life was reissued by the label. The band appreciate the larger platform and are touring North America supporting Spacey Jane. Sonically the new record pushes the band's sound into different directions. The group formed in Frankston and developed through Singing Bird Studios, an all-ages venue central to a tight-knit local scene. Early EPs were noisier and looser; later releases became punchier with more acerbic, memorable lyrics.
