Hailing from Gozo, the land of the Megalithic Temples in the heart of the Maltese archipelago islands, Upper Lip spurs nostalgic, groovy hard rock music with a passion to its genre.

Since their inception in 2013, the band had played several gigs & festivals on the Islands to a very warm welcome form the rock music fans which swiftly translate to more gig’s invitations. Fast-forward to 2019, the band embarked on a massive project to work on their first studio album. The recordings took place at the Temple Studios’(Rammstein, Philip Boa, Mike Hedges, Siouxsie and the Banshees).
Upper Lip recorded 11 original tracks which portray the groove and live energy that the band is so much noted for. The album, entitled Deep Within, will be released worldwide on May 23.
