Thin Lips have announced their debut LP Riff Hard, out May 20th via Lame-O Records. The music video for “Never Again,” the band’s first single off of Riff Hard, can be seen below. The video was directed by Adam Peditto, and is referred to by vocalist/guitarist Chrissy Tashjian as “our homosexual Blink 182 video.” Pre-orders for Riff Hard are available now digitally and on vinyl via Lame-O Records.
Thin Lips is the brain heart baby of Chrissy Tashjian, Kyle Pulley, Christopher Diehm and Mikey Tashjian. Their debut EP Divorce Year was released in 2015, giving us a sweet blend of indie rock guitar riffs and punk rock energy. This EP was recently pressed to 7″ vinyl via Lame-O Records. With their new album Riff Hard, named after the tattoos on Chrissy’s knuckles, Thin Lips bring their guitar shredding, high energy indie rock to a whole new level.
Thin Lips have recently announced their upcoming tour with Modern Baseball and Joyce Manor beginning in May. The band also starts a short tour this Friday, March 11th, including dates with The Front Bottoms, Worriers, and The Max Levine Ensemble. A full list of dates can be found below the break.
