Originally from Orlando, Florida, the group 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 105.5 FM with their first single “Rattlesnake Skin” in late 1989. 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!”
After 30 years the band has regrouped and has finally released this CD. Lypswitch consisting of lead vocalist Danny Whaley, guitarist Mick O’Brien, bassist David Love and drummer Kevin Agosta have unveiled a lyric video for their track “Rattlesnake Skin” from their upcoming album World of Sin, which will be released via Eönian Records on March 29, 2024.
