Lipstick are already turning heads in Te-Whanganui-A-Tara/Wellington’s indie music scene after only a handful of live shows. Today, they share their debut single ‘Party‘.

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, and Crying Club.

Lead singer and guitarist Oliver Bailey says that ‘Party‘ is the “perfect” debut single for the band: “…it captures all the fun and energy that we try to bring to the stage at all our shows.” Produced/mixed by Anton Parker (AOSI) and mastered by the legendary Chris Chetland (KOG Studio), ‘Party’ is an electrifying introduction to Lipstick that will leave you wanting more.

Fortunately, there’s more to come – the track is the first single from Lipstick’s upcoming debut EP Rom-Com which is scheduled for release in Q3 2024.
