Indianapolis, Indiana—(Friday, April 19, 2024) - Eonian Records and LYPSWITCH announce the premiere of the band’s third single and title track of their new album, ‘World Of Sin,' accompanied by a music video. Straight from the thriving Los Angeles music scene in the late 1980s, LYPSWITCH had a fanatically loyal following with their incendiary live shows and gritty musical attack. After 35-plus years, the band provides a packed 17-song collection of raunchy rockers from their time in Hollywood, including three brand-new recordings, all remastered by Anthony Focx. “World Of Sin” comes with a monster 20-page booklet packed with an in-depth history of the band’s time in Hollywood and never-seen photos provided by the band’s personal archives.
Danny Whaley, vocalist for LYPSWITCH, says, “This song really stands the test of time. It is as true and relevant today as it was living it in the middle of it in Hollywood in 1989!”
Kevin Agosta, drummer for LYPSWITCH, says, “‘World Of Sin’ was written at the end of 1988 and debuted at the Troubadour in January of 1989. Like most of our songs, it is about things we saw after we arrived in Los Angeles, the good and the evil. Reality was everywhere we looked, and David nailed it with this song. The video Eonian Records put together for this is so intense, and we are all thrilled with how it turned out!”
David Love, bassist for LYPSWITCH, says, “Danny sounds great on this song. You can really hear the anger in his voice!”
Stephen Craig, Eonian Records Founder, said, “From the opening riff of the album’s first song, ‘World Of Sin’ is just a taste of the balls-out rock to follow on the rest of the album. LYPSWITCH, who often categorized their sound as “underground punk-funk street rock,” starts off the album with high velocity, high impact, and aggressive delivery, telling a story of the dark, intoxicating, and dangerous side of Los Angeles in the late 1980s.”
About LYPSWITCH - Originally from Orlando, Florida moved to Hollywood in April of 1988 - The band kicked and clawed their way around the Strip scene, packing the usual hotspots such as The Whisky (a favorite of theirs), Gazzarris, The Roxy, and The Troubadour, while frequently playing with rival bands such as TAZ, Scratch, Liquor Sweet, Blackboard Jungle, Funhouse, as well as Bang Tango and Love/Hate, who, of course, went onto significant label success. Along with that healthy competition, LYPSWITCH also had plenty of press from L.A. rags like BAM, Rock City News, and Screamer, as well as even getting coveted airplay on the legendary KNAC Pure Rock 105.5FM with their first single “Rattlesnake Skin” in late 1989 and 1990. Along the way, they also took part in the L.A. band traditions of posting flyers, making phone calls to people on their mailing list, and even sending newsletters to people who listed themselves in the pen pal section of Metal Edge Magazine. It was an idea that helped the band spread their name all over the country and even internationally!
If you missed “Rock ‘N’ Roll Rebels & The Sunset Strip,” check it out when you pick up your copy of LYPSWITCH's “World Of Sin." “Rock ‘N’ Roll Rebels & The Sunset Strip” were the final wave of Sunset Strip bands, the most competitive market for rock ‘n’ roll that had ever existed. During this era (1980s/Early ‘90s), the Sunset Strip had become a living, breathing entity of extreme depth and breadth of musicality, self-indulgence, and living in the intrepidly fast and dangerous lane. This box set is a four-disc collection with 36 Bands and 72 Digitally Remastered Studio Recordings. This collection also features a 60-page Booklet with a close look at each band, over 100 Original Archived Photos, and the 13-page “Rock ‘N’ Roll Rebels: Sunset Strip Certified” Bio narrated by JohnnyX of The Wild and Adam Gifford of Paradise, both well-known bands on the Sunset Strip.
