You know how when you eat a lollipop, your mouth turns the color of the lollipop? Well, if you were to eat a lollipop made of pure Gun Club-style blues rock, you'd end up with Black Lips, the Atlanta foursome who are the newest signings to Vice Records.

The band have already released two albums on Bomp and one on In the Red. Their Vice debut will be the recently recorded Live in Tijuana, a greatest hits package of sorts that will also include new songs. Live in Tijuana will come out on January 23.

A new studio full-length, produced by John Reis of Rocket From the Crypt and Hot Snakes, will follow in the spring. Right now, the band is finishing up a tour of the U.S. with Be Your Own Pet.
