What happens when five frontmen form a band? Probably disaster. Possibly collaborative beauty. In the case of Birmingham, Alabama's The Blips, it's the latter.

Their self-titled debut album sounds less like a casual experiment than a band that has been playing together for years. With The Blips sharing lead vocals, guitar, and bass duties, this surprisingly cohesive and high energy album ranges from straight-forward garage rock to hit-and-run rockers to pop ballads with massive lead parts and gang vocals. They've even got a song called Wild Thing II.

The Blips are Taylor Hollingsworth, Wes McDonald, Eric Wallace, and Chris McCauley.
