Youtube link, because Invidious is a bit flaky right now.
The album came out a year ago, but even though they are from the city I live in (Melbourne), I just discovered them today. I like the sound of this track and have queued the rest of the album to have a listen to.
Here’s what a review I read said about them:
Frankston’s The Belair Lip Bombs deliver their genuinely unique brand of left-field indie rock with complete poise.
At one moment you’ll hear shades of Interpol and The Smiths, at others they hint at PJ Harvey and Best Coast. Ultimately, the band’s infectious take on a well-traversed genre is their own.
They will have truly cross-generational appeal, giving their younger peers the kind of guitar-driven indie rock many of them crave, and offering older fans something fresh that still taps into something a little nostalgic.
They’re honestly a band too difficult to describe, but one that indie rock fans must be across. They’ve already signed to Jack White’s Third Man Records, so now is the time to get on board.
I remember, years ago, a good friend and I were talking about the Strokes, when they were brand new. He said he didn’t like them because they were just digging up old sounds he already knew. I said that was why I liked them. These young people had re-discovered bands from the late 70s, twisted that sound around to make new music with. I dig it. He did not get me at all. lol
This band too. I dig it. They’re good. I don’t care if they sound a lot like any number of other bands. Good is good.
