New Video: Black Lips "Go Out & Get It"


Never have I been more pissed about earning a college degree than when I heard the Black Lips brag that they “Ain’t no college grad kids” on their epic song “Bad Kids” off Good Bad Not Evil. The Black Lips have earned quite an infamous reputation since then, but their antics have caused more smiles than sad faces. The band continues to expound on and have fun with their high school drop-out personas, but its their music that really warrants the attention. The Black Lips have forged a sound that merrily walks the line between hill-billy punk and playful garage-rock (like countrified Sonics). As evidenced by the video above and the songs below, the fun continues on their newest record Arabia Mountain
