ABOUT US
Down on Gasoline Alley God rides a Harley and broken stilettos walk the streets. Dirt and volume crackle forth from decrepit speakers and flood the streets of oblivion.
​The secret recipe for sleazy twin guitar rock, the kind of rock that comes leather clad and dangerous, was once thought lost, dropped in the gutter by some drunken bozo back in ’84, until it was found and, in a disused underground ammo store, represcribed and shocked back into life by Lip Service.
Compared variously to Cinderella, The Darkness, Skid Row and Guns n Roses, Lip Service do one thing, and they do it well – they ROCK. There is no political message or introverted whining, no false platitudes or sentiment. The Lip Service mission statement has never faltered; one review (Sleazeroxx.com) summed it up nicely: “Lip Service are trying their damndest to bring the debauchery of the ‘80’s roaring into the current millennium”, while Classic Rock magazine describes Lip Service music as “fully engorged sleaze-metal epics sounding like natty, punk damaged Guns puking in the gutter. Gleefully obnoxious”.
Lip Service offer 100% biker-friendly high-revved rock n roll and have provided tour support for Wishbone Ash, and 80s giants Dan Reed (The Dan Reed Network) and Ricky Warwick (The Almighty, Thin Lizzy). But wherever the stage, and in whatever broken town or city, the Lip Service message remains the same; “put us anywhere – small intimate gig or on a big stage, we’ll give you a show. You’ll leave with a smile on yer face and a sweat on yer brow. Guaranteed”.
​
​Second album, ‘Come And Get It’, got the media talking, while single, ‘Late Night Love Affair’, achieved significant airplay (particularly across America), and managed to chart in Brazil. Follow up EPs ‘Six of the Best’ and self-titled ‘Lip Service’ continue to roar like super-charged V8s on a mission.
What began in an ammo store has now turned into a full frontal assault; handle with care - Lip Service is explosive!
