LIP CRITIC – New York’s Electro Punk Bullies Trash And Crash On New Album ‘THEFT WORLD’
2 May 2026
Band: LIP CRITIC
Wo: Post-techno-punk bohos
from New York.
Album: THEFT WORLD
Their 2nd.
NME‘s verdict: “Theft World is a violently unhinged examination of identity theft and conspiracy. A flurry of chaos, paranoia and corrosive desire. It’s brutally clear that even after your money, privacy and sense of self are taken, life in ‘Theft World’ keeps going, indifferent to whatever you’re feeling. Yet it’s that sense of twisting bleakness into something that sounds thrilling is what makes the album so effective.”
TUTV: These battering bullies mix sturm und drang techno and drum ‘n’ bass neurosis with some crackbrained hardcore paroxysm here and there, while vocalist Bret Kaser spits and sneers, thrashes and crashes like a hysterical schizophrenic. Sounds like big headbutt fun, right? You betcha.
