Style: Alternative Rock

Nashville-based rock duo Lips Speak Louder have found the perfect balance of hard rock crunch and power-pop melody. It's the blend of sugar and spice, the broken glass in the ice-cream, that makes the pair’s music so utterly enjoyable. There are elements of Aimee Mann/’Til Tuesday in there, some Bangles, some Heart. But it’s the strong dashes of themselves (Rachel Brandsness and Angela Lese) in there that makes it all so special. The duo has also backed Emily Wolfe on the road, but there’s enough here to suggest that they will be headlining reasonably sized venues by themselves soon enough.
