About Lip Critic
Lip Critic is a punk band from New York, NY, formed in 2018.
Lip Critic play a version of digital hardcore: a vocalist barks and chants over sampled, chopped-up electronic tracks while two drummers play live against them at full speed. The samples take in pop hooks, rave stabs and found sound, and the songs often lurch into a new tempo partway through.
They came up through New York's DIY venues, and their album Hex Dealer was released on Partisan Records in 2024.
