US Co-Headline Tour with dust Begins in Spring 2026

“Power-pop excellence at its purest!” — PAPER


"The Australian quartet’s punchy, hook-packed songs combine immediacy

and complexity in a way that recalls the Strokes" — The Guardian


“Indie rock made to hit right in the pleasure center, built from a sturdy record collection

but also possessed of a breeziness that belies any clenched study” — Pitchfork


"Somewhere between punk, post-punk, jangle pop and new wave.

Of course, they don’t need to settle on just one – variety suits them just fine"  — NME


“Again is one of the year’s best rock projects — Paste, “Best of What’s Next”


"With their honest lyrics and eclectic quality - it’s hard not to get a Lip Bomb song stuck in your head"

 — Monster Children


“Irresistible power pop.” — Northern Transmissions

The Belair Lip Bombs—the Australian quartet of Maisie Everett, Mike Bradvica, Jimmy Droughton, and Daniel "Dev" Devlin—release their new album, Again, today via Third Man Records. Again is the follow-up to their 2023 debut, Lush Life, a “punchy, hook-laden rock record…straightforward in sound but borderline unassailable in its construction” (The Guardian). Again marks a new chapter for Australia’s best-kept secret, who have been building a loyal local following since they first formed eight years ago with their earnestness and ultra-sticky power-pop song structures. Again is endlessly listenable and winkingly symbolizes the band’s reintroduction to a global audience.

The Belair Lips Bombs is made up of Maisie Everett, Mike Bradvica, Jimmy Droughton, and Daniel "Dev" Devlin, who first formed the band in a Melbourne suburb, Frankston’s DIY venue Singing Bird Studio. Upon graduating from high school, they juggled band life with day jobs, working to define a sound inspired by classic rock pillars like the Rolling Stones and Television as well as indie stalwarts like the War On Drugs and Stephen Malkmus. They spent the first years as a band opening for Australian favorites like Ladyhawke, Spacey Jane, Slowly Slowly, and Tired Lion before releasing their more grunge-inspired self-titled debut EP in 2018 and then the poppier three-track follow-up, Songs to Do Your Laundry To (2019).


As the next decade rolled in, the Belair Lip Bombs fine-tuned their “limerence-rock” (as Maisie puts it) aesthetic across impassioned and snappy singles. In mapping out what would become Again, the band merged their individual influences more than ever to craft a no-skips collection of indie-rock anthems. It gives the group’s DIY indie-rock style a fresh coat of polish across 10 rollicking new tracks. Again was produced by the band, Nao Anzai (The Teskey Brothers), and Joe White (Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever), marking the first time the Belair Lip Bombs worked with a producer.


The Belair Lip Bombs pull you in immediately with their self-coined “yearn-core” combination of quick-footed rhythms, warm and fuzzy guitar melodies, and Maisie’s cathartic vocals. As they move into an exciting new era of their careers, their unshakable friendship, wide-open hearts, and knack for foot-tapping melodies will no doubt endear them to legions of fans in search of musical transcendence.  


Earlier this month, The Belair Lip Bombs wrapped up their first ever North American tour with Spacey Jane. In March of 2026, they will embark on a US co-headline tour with dust. The tour finds the band making stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and more. They will play headline shows across Europe and Australia prior to the US tour.
