Loose Lips Sink Ships is a band from DeKalb, Illinois that formed in early 2007. Loose Lip’s music is often labeled as “math rock” and listening to them has been described as “trying to cram a bunch of acorns into a sock filled with Jello”. Whereas, their song structures have been written out as “twidly twidly do bi bup *melodic run here* tap-a-tap-a-tapa *angular chord here* doobly doobly dab”.
Matthew Frank, Conor Mackey and Steve Marek began demoing material in the spring of 2007 and recorded a demo that was self-released and limited to 350 hand-numbered copies. Three drummers later, Jacob Boulay was introduced into the fold. Loose Lips spent the beginning of 2008 writing material for their first album “Puptent”, released in May 2008 (4 handmade pressings, limited to a total of 300 copies). Two months later Loose Lips went into the studio again to record “The Contemporary Issues of Celibacy”, a split with El Pin Meldou, released in September 2008 (3 handmade pressings, limited to a total of 350 copies). Within this time, shows opening for “By the End of Tonight”, “Maps and Atlases”, “Native”, “Arms And Sleepers”, “High On Fire”, “Don Caballero”, “The Appleseed Cast”, “The Fall of Troy”, “Dianogah” and “Unwed Sailor” had furthered their exposure throughout the midwest.
