The Profile

Black Lips are an American garage-punk band formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1999. Known for raw, lo-fi records and unruly live shows, they blend 60s garage grit with punk hooks and occasional psychedelic detours.

Formed in Atlanta (1999); associated with In The Red and Vice Records; notorious for chaotic live shows; early member Ben Eberbaugh died in 2002; Arabia Mountain involved Mark Ronson; later work expanded instrumentation (sax, organ, trumpet).

American garage-punk lifers from Atlanta, praised here for ragged energy, sticky choruses, and chaotic live chops. Reviews span the lo-fi sting of Let It Bloom to the adventurous Satan’s Graffiti. Arabia Mountain’s pop-leaning garage and 200 Million Thousand’s earworms also get love. Overall verdict: still wild, still catchy, still standing.
