New Zealand’s Alt-Rock Sweethearts Lipstick Share Catchy New Track ‘You & Me’
September 3rd, 2025
Wellington indie/alt-rock band Lipstick are back with their latest single ‘You & Me’ — a dreamy yet danceable track that blends driving guitars, shimmering pop hooks, and an irresistible groove.
With echoes of The 1975, Wolf Alice, and Dayglow, the song captures the energy of a late-night singalong while keeping Lipstick’s fresh, modern edge front and center.
Bursting onto the Wellington indie scene in 2024, Lipstick quickly made a name for themselves with high-energy alternative rock, punchy hooks, and electric live shows.
Having shared the stage with Racing, Where’s Jai, Half/Angel, New Candys, and many more in 2025, the band has earned acclaim from fans and peers alike.
Lead singer and guitarist Oliver Bailey says of the single, “‘You & Me’ is one we always knew was special. It shows how we want to move forward and grow as a group and as songwriters.”
Produced and mixed by Joe Ledword (Wet Denim) and mastered by the legendary, Chris Chetland (KOG Studio), ‘You & Me’ builds on the band’s growing reputation as one of Te Whanganui-a-Tara’s most exciting rising acts. Uplifting, infectious, and tailor-made for fans of feel-good indie rock and indie pop, the track delivers a chorus that sticks long after the last note fades — proving Lipstick are here for more than just a moment.
