The Belair Lip Bombs have released new single and video ‘Don’t Let Them Tell You (It’s Fair)’, the second preview of their new album ‘Again’, set for 31st October via Third Man Records – the label’s first Australian release.
Following lead single ‘Hey You’, the track arrives from the Australian quartet of Maisie Everett, Mike Bradvica, Jimmy Droughton and Daniel “Dev” Devlin, who are currently on tour in the US.
Maisie Everett says, “It’s about not letting anyone walk all over you. Have confidence in what you’re doing and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”
Reflecting on the writing, she says: “I was messing around on my guitar with the Keith Richards tuning when I came up with the intro riff. The line ‘you gotta make your own luck’ came from my friend Alex Lahey. I remember meeting up with her a couple of years ago for the first time. I had a really inspiring conversation with her that day. We talked about all things music – the different challenges that she’d had to overcome in her musical career. And I remember her saying to me, ‘You have to make your own luck.’ I don’t know why, but it really stuck with me. You have to believe in yourself and you have to always work hard, but the hard work only works if you believe in yourself at the same time.”
