The Belair Lip Bombs 'Again' LP

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 - 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 release their eagerly anticipated second album Again.

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 long-term 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. The album show their craft in full effect with a no-skips collection of indie-rock anthems.

The Belair Lip Bombs pull you in immediately with their self-coined “yearn-core” combination of quick-footed rhythms, warm and fuzzy guitar melodies, and Maisie’s cathartic vocals. As they move into an exciting new era of their careers, their unshakable friendship, wide-open hearts, and knack for foot-tapping melodies will no doubt endear them to legions of fans in search of musical transcendence.  

Come and join the party if you love The Strokes, The B-52s, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, The Beths and Television.
