The band’s lineup centers around two drummers, samplers, synths, and vocalist Bret Kaser, creating an intense wall of sound that has earned comparisons to Death Grips while remaining unmistakably their own. After self-releasing early projects, Lip Critic signed with Partisan Records and broke through with their acclaimed debut label release, Hex Dealer. Their follow-up, Theft World, further cemented their reputation as one of New York’s most inventive underground bands, blending satire, internet culture, and blistering electronic production into music that’s equally at home in a punk venue or a club.
