BOO 1212 CD

On their debut album, Black Lipstick tackles the great themes: gettin' some, gettin' by and gettin' off. Thankfully, it's done with the fiery passion, biting wit and blazing riffage these lofty subjects deserve.

Musically, the album swaggers from dark choogle to incandescent shimmer to soaring guitorchestra — a dynamic only achieved with instruments motored by human movement. Solos simultaneously hit wrong notes and carve symphonies. Drums patter a rhythm that heartbeats would envy.

Lyrically, "Converted Thieves" is a voice from the present urging one to live in the now. Low puns mesh with high motives to craft a tone that is serious for its refusal to take itself seriously. It's a serious record that seriously wails.

As promised in the opening track slash mission statement, Black Lipstick will uplift you higher. So roll the windows down and turn the AC on. This is one for the Jeeps, for the walkmans and for the summers that last 20 years.

This was Black Lipstick's first release with bassist Steve Garcia, who joined the band one month prior to recording it.

Release Date: April 22, 2003
