Gaylips D.E.B

GAYLIPS’ NEW SINGLE: The Ballad of Hinksley Road is released on 30-07-21.

There are two things you can’t outrun - Mother Nature and your own past. We’re talking about the towns, the streets, and all the components that made you.

This is The Ballad of Hinksley Road. It’s an epic council house punk anthem that celebrates the streets and towns that built GAYLIPS. It deserves to be heard. If only we had an expensive, glossy, PR campaign run by some loafers-with-no-socks-wearing 23-year-old called Tristan. But we don’t – it’s just us putting this PR gubbins together, so enjoy and give the single a listen.

Betamax Vs VHS MIX

I was told recently by someone in the music industry that "100,000 tracks are released every day of the week, with nearly 4000 of those from major record labels.”  
 
You’d have to be seriously naive to think a small independent band with no label attached would have even a sniff of a chance when up against the megabucks pumped into bands signed to a big label.  
 
So, what’s the point? If you’re  a scrappy little terrier barking at the heels of a well-coiffed poodle, why bother? Here’s why: because the burning desire to create music doesn’t just disappear and die. It’s there, in the pit of your stomach: agitating, aggravating, nagging you to make the thing that makes sense. Art, words, music - whatever it is that helps you make sense of the situation you find yourself in. For Gaylips it’s music. 
 
So, on the 26th May 2023 there will be 100,001 tracks released into the world. Ours is called TABS. And it’s by us - GAYLIPS.

TEMPOARY LOVE SONG.

Why do rush in rush hour!! Why do you want to get to the thing you hate the most! The fucking endless mouse trap.

Ninja Don't Cry 2023

A soundtrack for the end of days . Whatever.

smashing your head against a brick wall is a full time occupation.

The internal noise of copying with the Morden world .

Hero Dies in this one.

The exact time when Gaylips was born has been forgotten. It may have been somewhere around the time when Carl and Jonny’s previous band imploded in its own Nu-Rave-neon-face-paint-please-like-us-NME bullshit which finally choked to death in the reduced section of Bedford Topman. But Carl and Jonny clambered out of the bargain bin, escaped the bad haircuts, and saw the glorious epiphany-esque light that is a two-piece band with no keyboard player.
Gaylips’s first album, ‘Fuck the Plan, Sell the Man’ was championed by Steve Lamacq - which made them cool for approximately 3.27 minutes. (It felt good). Gaylips also won ‘Album of the Year’ from Transmission Radio. Then the cluster fuck grenade that was Covid rolled into town. Gaylips snuck into a recording studio (no takeaway/no beer – ok maybe a can) and knocked out four singles. These included D.E.B which gained some great streaming results (approx 0.07p revenue) and was chosen for the Home Brew Compilation album by Homebrew Records. The last two singles, ‘The Future will be Built from Spare Parts’ and ‘The Ballad of Hinksley Road’ enjoyed BBC 6 Music airplay and are still going great guns around the world. And Luton.
