Lip Filler Sign To Chess Club Records And Release Infectious New Single "Haircut"

Rising London band Lip Filler share caustic indie rock anthem.

Rising West London 5-piece Lip Filler have made quite a stir since signing to Chess Club Records. Their sound is a distinctive concoction of caustic indie rock and raucous, noughties-leaning dance-punk, aimed at shaking up the music scene. Their most recent single "Haircut" is an acute examination of the overstimulating nature of modern technology and the process of adjusting to life in London. Brushed with lively electronics and propelled by a driving guitar-pop backing, it is an undeniably exciting introduction to Lip Filler.

The track's accompanying video was co-directed by the band themselves and Olaf Lawrence; shot between Frome in Somerset and their flat in west London. Speaking more on its conception, the band said:

"The 'Haircut' video was a frantic project that we managed to nail down in pretty much 5 consecutive days. The concept of the video was one that we’d had brewing for a little while and (being the case with most of our ideas) it took a while to refine and logically plan out. For our first video - we wanted to ensure we captured who we all are as people and more importantly as a band. We did this by splitting the video so that some of the scenes were shot in our hometown and the rest were shot in our kitchen. It was great fun. The two separate locations correlate to the themes of the song about moving from the country and adjusting to the city lifestyle."

Exploring themes of moving from the country and adjusting to the city lifestyle, the video captures who the band are as people and as a band.

Their live shows have proven popular, with key support slots and sold out shows across the capital. Lip Filler are now due to release their debut project on Chess Club later this year, which will feature the previously released single "Cool" (2022).
