The Belair Lip Bombs

Taking their name from an '80s skateboard wheel, the Belair Lip Bombs combine elements of punk, indie pop, garage rock, Australian pub rock, and more into their aggravated, guitar-driven alternative songs. Mixing the melancholy and the annoyed from the beginning, they followed their 2018 self-titled debut EP with the album Lush Life in 2023. Third Man Records took notice and gave the debut LP a proper label release in 2024. The next year's slightly more polished Again saw the group working with outside producers for the first time while still sounding restless.
