Who else but Black Lips! The kings of flower-punk are back on February 24th with their third LP for Vice Records, a little gem called 200 Million Thousand. The ruffian foursome continue their domination of the fading messy garage rock genre with more freakbeat anthems, more drug references, more dam...

I don’t know if you have you ever heard of the band The Black Lips. I have no idea how popular they are, but I do know that I went to one of their shows around 2 years ago and they were fucking amazing. Sure I had done a little too much bathtub GHB and drank as much as I usually do, that usual...
