Lipz take on Paula Abdul's iconic hit and flip it on its head. "Stripping the song down to its core and rebuilding it with roaring guitars and arena-sized energy, we've transformed the pop classic into a bold, hard-hitting rock anthem while keeping the unforgettable melodies intact", they commented.
The Lipz saga started in 2011, with the visionary Klintberg brothers, Alexander (vocals, guitar) and Koffe (drums), and guitarist Conny Sv rd. The band's journey took a transformative turn when Alexander assumed the role of frontman, paving the way for their distinctive sound.
Lipz's musical journey began with the release of their debut single, "Ghost Town", in September 2012, followed by the EP "Psycho" three years later. The quest for a stable bass player added a unique twist, leading to a three-year adventure to complete their debut album. Undeterred by challenges, Alexander took on bass duties, exemplifying the band's unwavering dedication to their craft.
In a ground-breaking move in 2023, Lipz joined forces with Frontiers Records, marking a pivotal moment in their musical odyssey. Their latest album, "Changing The Melody", was released in March 2024, ushering the band in a new era of glam rock on the global stage.
