Street Symphonies
Records & Burning Minds Music
Group are excited to announce the signing of Swedish
glamsters Lipz, for the release of their brand new
album "Scaryman". The history
of Lipz begins back in 2011,
when Klintberg bros Alexander (Vocals,
Guitar) and Koffe (Drums) decided to
build up a new band together with their best friend Conny
Svärd (Guitar). The band immediately started the research
for a suitable frontman, but after some unsuccessful
tries Alexander decided to pick up
the mic himself, becoming immediately the perfect fit for the group. With this
line-up, Lipz entered the studio to
begin the recordings of their own material. Their first
single "Ghost Town" was released in September
2012, followed three years after by their official EP
called "Psycho". An endless research for a stable
bass-player slowed down the process of making a full studio album, which took
three years to be finally completed
(with Alexander handling the bass duties
himself).
In 2018 Lipz signed with Street Symphonies Records / Burning Minds Music Group for the release of "Scaryman", which is expected in May.
Label manager Stefano Gottardi says: "Since Oscar Burato and myself founded Street Symphonies Records back in 2008, our first priority has always been scouting the underground scene looking for young and promising bands, especially those with cool music, right attitude and a great look. In 2011 we stumbled upon Lipz for the first time, and we immediately contacted the guys to discuss the release of a record: sadly it never happened, especially for some unexpected changes they were making to their sound at that time. When a few months ago we heard that they were finally recording their debut album, and that it would have been inspired by their "original" sound, we immediately contacted them, in order to resume the negotiations interrupted years before. After listening for the first time to "Scaryman", we had no doubt: it was exactly the kind of record we wanted to hear from Lipz! The revival of glam rock, started in the second half of 2000s, caused an invasion of new bands (most of them coming from Sweden), but today the 95% of those acts no longer exists, while just few are being born these days. Lipz are among the few convincing young leading figures of this scene: they have the mood, the refrains, the right look and the needed attitude. But most of all they show off that cool mix of extravagance and madness which promises to bring you back in time, when this entertaining rock style ruled the charts being literally the soundtrack of our youth".
Further info about official release date, final tracklist and more details will follow in the forthcoming weeks.
