American Lips – On Strike!
Montréal/Los Angeles trio American Lips return with On Strike!, a razor-sharp art-rock album mixing absurdist humor, jagged riffs, and sardonic wit. Out via Ancient Fashion Records, it’s a noisy, analog rebellion against overwork and collapse — think Wire meets Devo on a caffeine bender.
