With the ever loving dreary day in New Jersey and a music scene that has been stagnant for some time our hopes that one day the people of NJ will have something to rave about, I mean we do have THE BOSS and BON JOVI but we need a new savior and I am not talking about THE JONAS BROTHERS. We need rock. Those people are out of touch already and we are looking for something new. I hate going to clubs being from New Jersey and seeing few people in the crowd sitting on their ass sucking down beers.

RockEyez were at a couple shows, KIX and DANGER DANGER where the support band was LIPSTICK MAGAZINE, yeah with a chick singer which always puts a bump in your draws, but can they get all those fat asses off their chair and move to the front of the stage, sure can! The two times we saw them they sure did impress and now we have their debut release “Skin Deep”. We finally have a spark in NJ with a couple bands LIPSTICK MAGAZINE, OUR BLACK FRIDAY and MOMENT OF ZEN making waves.

Let’s check out the new LIPSTICK MAGAZINE “Skin Deep”. The opening title track is bluesy with seductive vocals by Toni Loyas that makes the opener captivating. The duel guitar work by Damon Marks and Nat Gardiner is strong and hit the mark. You gotta check out the next tune “Against the Wall” a volatile song that will be cranking, this one will blow you away, it’s pure perfection!!! Screaming guitar, power and adrenaline, with the higher pitch of octaves by Loyasdriving the track and mellowing to a soft whisper then back to commanding vocals this is the hit. The guitars by Damon and Nat go off the hook, slamming the strings, chills run down my back. No way this is coming out of a Jersey band, yeah we’re back and the pumping doesn’t stop there.

Toni Loyas where have you been, pushing the limits, vocally outstanding! Check out the tasteful keyboards of David Loyas tantalizing your senses as the sounds of “All I Want” This ballad show the expert musicianship that has been hidden in the rough of Jersey woods to long another song that screams attention. LIPSTICK MAGAZINE are true rockers, they have style, charisma, can draw a crowd and have balanced tunes.

Acoustics show there head on “Defenseless” an excellent ballad showing LIPSTICK MAGAZINE has taste without pummeling down the door with heavy rockers throughout “Skin Deep”. “Love Games” is a melodic tune with catchy chorus and once again the guitars by Damon and Nat being killer.

The last track, no I didn’t forget you. Russell K and Marc Rabin are the true heartbeat of LIPSTICK MAGAZINE and you will hear that on many tracks. The timekeeper’s are the essential nucleus on the band and as Russell and Marc hook up you have the center of the midsection of LIPSTICK MAGAZINE. This is a great start for the band and we wish them only the best, we need hope and LIPSTICK MAGAZINE will be there for the fans! Congrats!!!
