Gritty, raw, and expressive with a passion and purpose unlike most, GAY LIPS has you head banging back to front on the sheer energy flooded garage rock ride that is ‘Betamax Vs Vhs’. The outlandish and exceptionally outspoken outfit from Flitwick are punk rock in the truest sense of the term. They’re filled with so much raw and unfiltered passion, expressing themselves without a single layer of insulation to their audience. You just know that they’d be able to rock up to a warehouse gig and completely steal the show with their energy.
The simple two-piece band born out of previous attempts doesn’t have a keyboard in its arrangement. It is hard rock, it is punk rock, and it stands for something that’s often lost or at least swept away in the mainstream. But, when the energy is as palpable and expressive as it is on ‘Betamax Vs Vhs’, you can’t turn away from it.
