Thin Lips - Riff Hard (Lame-O Records) 2016
7
This new breed of pop-punk-indie rock revival is quite good, probably more exciting than ever, we must confess. Thin Lips are a four piece from Philadelphia that deserve your attention, and their new offering, Riff Hard is a damn good delight. Led by vocalist/guitarist Chrissy Tashjian, Thin Lips mean business, from their pop-punk hooks meets Pixies surf rock insanely catchy melodies, to this kind of Speedy Ortiz indie rock esque, where distortion meets harmonies, all fueled up in style by the classic punk rock energy. Simply put, if you love melodies and punchy melodic riffs this will fit you in perfectly, lyrics and songwriting are quite strong and you should expect big things in the future from the Philly four piece.
