Thin Lips Will Make You Want to Break Up That Lame Party with Their Video for "Never Again"

“I think of it as our homosexual Blink 182 video.”

Chrissy Tashjian's knuckles and the cover art for Riff Hard

When I asked for someone in Thin Lips to describe the video for “Never Again,” vocalist and guitarist Chrissy Tashjian replied: “I think of it as our homosexual Blink 182 video.” Which, to be fair, I don’t think I could come up with a better way to describe it. It’s got hard-hitting pop punk riffs a la Blink, dirty clubs, an obvious sense of feeling out of place where everyone else seems to belong, and of course the classic Blink-182 trope of crashing a party, fucking shit up, and making a space their own. Love.

“Never Again” is a song off Thin Lips upcoming record Riff Hard coming out on Lame-O Records May 20. The album is aptly named after Tashjian’s knuckles, which have Riff Hard stamped on them in permanent ink.

Watch the video below for you daily dose of queer, pop punk raucous energy, then pre-order their album in a digital or physical form. Then, be on the lookout for some tickets for their upcoming tour where they’ll join the ranks of Modern Baseball, Joyce Manor, and The Front Bottoms.
