Oh My Rockness

Behold the grimy garage guys who call themselves The Black Lips! Straight from the swamps of Atlanta, Georgia! Vice Records' latest signing (transferred over from In the Red Records) are a raucous young band that puts on notoriously insane live shows, which often include spitting, peeing, fistfights, beer bottle smashing and setting instruments ablaze.

In other words, this is just good old fashioned rock 'n' roll. They are an intensely energetic band, and it's apparent they revel in playing the part of mischievous punks. The Black Lips are for fans of The Ponys, alcohol, and New York City circa 1977.
