Don’t Forget Your Lipstick ~ Te-Whanganui-A-Tara-Based Indie Rockers Release Second Single ‘Not Like You’
Don’t Forget Your Lipstick ~ Te-Whanganui-A-Tara-Based Indie Rockers Release Second Single ‘Not Like You’
August 9th, 2024
Lipstick have been turning heads in Te-Whanganui-A-Tara/Wellington‘s indie music scene after only a handful of live shows. Initially formed in 2023, the band channels a raucous garage-rock energy that creates songs that are simultaneously hard-hitting and catchy – reminiscent of post-britpop influences Bloc Party and Interpol. This sound has been embraced by both supporters of the band and their contemporaries, with Lipstick having shared the stage with Bleeding Star, Daisy Grae, Crying Club, Baldleaf and many more!
Lead singer and guitarist Oliver Bailey says that ‘Not Like You’ is Lipstick being “more honest and open”, both in sound and songwriting: “However, it still captures all the fun and energy that goes into all of our songs.” Produced/mixed by Anton Parker (AOSI) and mastered by the legendary Chris Chetland (KOG Studio), ‘Not Like You’ is an explosive follow-up to Lipstick‘s first single ‘Party’ that will leave you counting the days to their next release. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait very long – both tracks are singles from Lipstick‘s upcoming debut EP Rom-Com which is scheduled for release on the 6th of September 2024.
