Man! My God how good are the Black Lips?! Get into this band now dammit. They have this brash teenage party boy sound, twangy guitars and crackles and hiss, screaming singalongs and howling, they are everything a good band should be. A mess of wonderful sound with intricate energies layered upon each other all sung by dudes having a party and just going absolutely nuts. Oh they are a band I want to see live. They're the sort of band that makes me smile while I'm in my way to work in the morning as I visualize the messy garage of filth where they must have written half their songs,. It makes me want to shake the person next to me and say "NO! Listen to THIS". The most amazing thing is they sound like one of the old trash 60's rock bands, yet they sound SO fresh at the same time. It's like Rock and Roll is real again. God bless them.

GET INTO THE BLACK LIPS NOW.
