Black Lips

Summary: The Black Lips are a self-described ", flower punk", band from Atlanta, Georgia. While still teenagers, they formed in 2000 after guitarist Cole Alexander and bassist Jared Swilley left the Renegades , and guitarist Ben Eberbaugh left the Reruns . Drummer Joe Bradley joined a few months later. They released their first 7", in late 2001/early 2002 on their own Die Slaughterhaus label. Just days before a tour was to begin in December 2002, Ben Eberbaugh was driving a car that was struck by a drunk driver going the wrong way on a highway.
