Country Lips Premiere New Track, "Grizzly Bear Billboard"

American Standard Time premiered the lead single "Grizzly Bear Billboard" saying "it has the perfect two-steppin’ backbone, suggesting a full dance-floor of sweeties in a low lit bar."

Seattle's 8-piece Country Lips began playing together seven years glorious years ago. Although often described as "Party Country," they take a lot of influence from older outlaw country acts such as George Jones, Johnny Paycheck, and the Louvin Brothers. Throw in some Bakersfield Country, a la Merle, Buck, and Yoacham, then The Beatles, then Norteno bands like Voz de Mando, and you have one rowdy good-time crew.

​Recent notable shows have included playing with Nikki Lane and Whitey Morgan outside of Austin last summer at the Manor, TX edition of Bandit Town during SXSW. They've opened for Blackberry Smoke at the Neptune, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers at the Crocodile and Sturgill Simpson during his last tour in Seattle. When playing live, they have an absolute blast, with the friendly warning that "in one set you’re likely to see five different lead singers, swapping soloists, all manner of hoots and harmonies, and (at least) one spilled beer."

Many, many years before the likes of Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, and Blake Shelton donned 10-gallon hats and began crooning about blue jeans and cheesy romance, country was the genre of choice for drunkards, rebels, and rockers. Seattle’s own Country Lips pay homage to that proud tradition, cranking out debauched ballads with slurred-speech choruses that would make Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard proud. The eight-piece band has a reputation for rowdiness (as should any roots country revivalists worth their weight in Jack Daniels)…
