SWISS LIPS

Another one of those bands that Bastille introduced me to via the internet via their choice of apparel. Not a direct introduction, but another introduction to wicked music through the shirts that the band members sport.

Swiss Lips is yet another band I have began to fancy from Manchester, England who specialize in music that I usually don't fancy: electronic pop. To me electro-pop has just been a compilation of beeps and bops and high pitched out-of-this-world laser tunes, but Swiss Lips showed me the beauty in electronic dance music. Each of their songs has such a rad beat and the lead singer, Sam Hammond, has a really cool voice that kind of has a hint of Mark Foster of Foster the People; I get the Vampire Weekend vibe here too. 


My favorite of their songs is "U Got the Power" which is accompanied by such a cool music video the band released to YouTube a couple years ago. Another sweet video they created, or what you help them create, is their interactive clip which is so fun and special for their song "Carolyn." It is so cool and I find myself singing along every time I play the music video. They also have a fun and casual video to go with their song "DANZ" which is another astoundingly brilliant piece. 

Swiss Lips brings a nice change of pace and has a fun vibe to each of their hits. Check out their Facebook page for more information on the band and also to explore the hilarious posts and pictures the guys share with their fans.
