IN THE UK AGAIN!! (IS THAT THE 10 TH TIME THIS YEAR??) AND PROVING THEY REALLY DO KNOW THE BEST TUNES, THE BLACK LIPS ARE NOW ON VICE RECORDS AND STILL KICK IT LIVE, BUT THIS ALBUM RELEASED IN 2005 REALLY DOES SHOW HOW GREAT THIS BAND WILL BE COME, LIKE BO DIDDLY DOING GERMS COVERS! FOR FANS OF BACK FRO MTHE GRAVE, AND THE THE WAILERS (WE DONT MEAN BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS!) ON TOUR ON TOUR, RULING...
THOUGH BARELY INTO THEIR TWENTIES, ATLANTA?S BLACK LIPS HAVE TOURED THE U.S. AND EUROPE SEVERAL TIMES, RELEASED TWO ALBUMS, LOST A LEAD GUITARIST IN A CAR CRASH, BUILT A RABID CULT FOLLOWING AND EARNED A REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE WILDEST LIVE BANDS AROUND. YOU WON?T WANT TO STAND TOO CLOSE TO THE STAGE AT A BLACK LIPS PERFORMANCE - VIOLENCE, NUDITY, ARSON AND PROJECTILE VOMITING ARE STAPLES OF THEIR SHOW. THIS GRIMY AND CHAOTIC GARAGE-PUNK QUARTET TRULY DOES N?T GIVE A FUCK, SOMETHING THEY?VE PROVED, INTENTIONALLY OR NOT, TIME AND TIME AGAIN. FORMED WITH THE INTENT TO CROSS THE SOUNDS OF THE BACK FROM THE GRAVE ?60S GARAGE COMPS WITH THE LIVE MAYHEM THE GERMS, THE ?LIPS HAVE DEVELOPED A SOUND UNLIKE ANYONE ELSE. THOSE FAMILIAR WITH THE GROUP MAY BE A BIT SURPRISED BY THE SOUND OF LET IT BLOOM, WHICH, WHILE STILL SCUZZY AND RAW, IS THEIR CATCHIEST, MOST MELODIC EFFORT TO DATE. HAD ROYAL TRUX LISTENED TO THE TROGGS INSTEAD OF THE ROLLING STONES, THEY MIGHT HAVE RECORDED THIS ALBUM.
