The Belair Lip Bombs share their new record Again, the first Australian album release on Jack White’s Third Man Records. Tickets are on sale now for their Australian headline tour in Feb – Mar 2026. LISTEN ON SPOTIFY + APPLE MUSIC + AMAZON MUSIC + YOUTUBE MUSIC + MORE HERE + BUY TICKETS HERE.

Again is an undeniably polished effort from The Belair Lip Bombs, who boldly present an elevation of their humble beginnings, to a band on a trajectory long beyond the DIY venue foundations. The group’s upcoming Australian tour sees the group performing across revered rooms as the Corner Hotel, Oxford Art Factory, Crowbar, Freo.Social, Lion Arts Factory and Altar. See all tour routing dates BELOW.

Backed by a gut-instinct approach, each track across Again has its own mood, built on a bed of each Lip Bombs’ members individuality – an amalgam of influence that makes the group sonically diverse in practice. Their taste as a collective is guided by the pursuit of sinking their teeth into a project unlike before. Whether you have the words, or it’s a song lyric that does for you – reflective of the group’s own reserved personalities, at odds with their power-pop range – they continue “This is an album for real lovers and feelers around the world.”

Motivated by the pursuit of sharpening their pen and cultivating sonic diversity, Again is the reward of getting deep in the weeds. The longest time the group have spent in the studio in their tenure to date also marked the first time The Belair Lip Bombs collaborated with producers Nao Anzai (The Teskey Brothers, Missy Higgins, Mildlife), and Joe White (Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever) who together have delivered a timeless, holistic album.

“With Again, we wanted to create a body of work that reflected our maturity as people and as songwriters,” The Belair Lip Bombs explain. “I think an album is the most significant demonstration of all of our hard work as a band. Touring the world and playing iconic venues or supporting big bands is all incredible but at the end of the day none of that would be happening if it wasn’t for making a record.”

Maisie’s staunch leadership backed by the powerhouse combination of Mike, Jimmy and Dev, paint a surface happy-go-lucky, limerence rock sound. A combination of quick-footed rhythms, warm and fuzzy guitar melodies with catharsis at its core. The Belair Lip Bombs are always listening, studying and tinkering away at their form, piecing Again together along the road, between soundchecks and meagre time back home.

Springboarding Kings Of Leon to Yeah Yeah Yeahs with a hint of influence pulled from their local surroundings like jangle heroes Cool Sounds and Way Dynamic, theirs is an earnestness with ultra sticky power-pop song structures that crash through – no skips. From the fiddle that features on opener ‘Again and Again’ or the angsty ‘Another World’, to the shared vocals by Maisie and Mike on ‘If You’ve Got The Time’.

Elsewhere ‘Smiling’ captures the intoxicating, new relationship jitters while ‘Burning Up’ is the group’s clearest throughline to the undeniable hits of New Radicals, Sugar Ray or Matchbox Twenty – and the credibly they give those influences – indelibly felt on the groove laden ‘Cinema’s addictive funk piano chords. ‘Price Of A Man’, is most indicative of the power of the Lip Bombs bond, born from an accidental strum in soundcheck that spawned a story of two fellas and toxic behaviours.

A performance with pummelling instrumentation bound for endless toe-tapping, with biting words to unabashed joy. The band’s unshakable connection as four close friends shines throughout Again.

Again LP is out now via Third Man Records, buy/stream it here.

About THE BELAIR LIP BOMBS

The Belair Lips Bombs are Maisie Everett, Mike Bradvica, Jimmy Droughton, and Daniel “Dev” Devlin, who first formed the band in a Melbourne suburb, Frankston’s DIY venue Singing Bird Studio. Upon graduating from high school, they juggled band life with day jobs, working to define a sound inspired by classic rock pillars like the Rolling Stones and Television as well as indie stalwarts like the War On Drugs and Stephen Malkmus. They spent the first years as a band opening for Australian favorites like Ladyhawke, Slowly Slowly, and Tired Lion before releasing their more grunge-inspired self-titled debut EP in 2018 and then the poppier three-track follow-up, Songs to Do Your Laundry To (2019). In 2023 they would make their most defining statement on their debut record Lush Life, 10 tracks of evocative exploration; stories that run a gamut of longing, seeking new horizons and discovering new paths to satisfaction and self-fulfilment.

If debut albums are meant to serve as the gateway, a first impression, then The Belair Lip Bombs’ introductory effort paints a vibrant and emotive portrait of a band truly finding their sound. Initially released on Cousin Will Records in Australia – Lush Life was recently reissued through Jack White’s Third Man Records, culminating as both the first Australian release on the international label. Since then, the group have performed globally at Austin’s SXSW festival and The Great Escape in the UK and locally at Laneway Festival, Golden Plains to national tours supporting Hockey Dad, Militarie Gun, Blondshell and earlier this year, Spacey Jane across the US. The group have also embarked on a longlist of headline tours in Australia, New Zealand and the UK/EU – including sold out shows in London, Melbourne, Brisbane and more.
