"For as long as they’ve been a unit, LA-based alt-rockers Liily have skirted the line of post-punk and dance-punk [...] their next chapter sounds more in line with the industrial dance sounds of their East Coast contemporaries Model/Actriz—maybe even with a bit of hair metal influence baked in."
FLOOD Magazine

"With a penchant for experimentation that seen their abrasive rock become softened by a stripped-back feel, Liily's artistic evolution has brought to life their debut album, framing their unrestrained creativity with an expert refinement."
EARMILK

"Liily seethe with a new found riotous energy that dictates every twist and turn." ****
DIY

"The real beauty rears up within the band’s ability to let the noise subside before seamlessly turning into a brand new beast. Additionally, toying with the chaotic structures of jazz suits them, fracturing expectation, and carving out their own little niche in that dirty rock’n’roll world."
DORK

"'The Suit That Sold Itself' is the epitome of Liily's insanity with its experimental and industrial cacophony, while 'Anvil' is an extraordinary hypnotic ballad with shoegaze overtones. While the tortured interpretation of Liily is predominant, the contribution of melody brings a clever cocktail that allows them to push their limits." ****
The Line of Best Fit

"TV Or Not TV is constantly twitching and lurching, wriggling into deeper, darker sounds and then climbing back out of them again [...] They’ve grown up amid the chaos and confusion of the internet age, fed constant information at a terrifying rate. Their frenzied, abrasive, kitchen-sink approach to rock’n’roll encapsulates that perfectly."
NME ****

"As opposed to grabbing listeners by their necks with chaotic, frenzied instrumentation and banshee-like screams, it shakes them awake with droning static and marching drums. It’s a definite change in pace, a breather amidst a high-energy sequence of tracks that adds another trick up the band’s sleeves."
Flaunt Magazine

"Caustic and deliberately raw, their new single 'I Am Who I Think You Think I Am' is a real statement, a crunching manifesto."
Clash

"Strange and abrasive but with considerable emotional girth. The track contains the unbridled energy of Liily’s early shows and singles, but feels stripped of anything passive or unintentional."
Post-Punk

"Lands somewhere between the controlled aggression of METZ and the free-for-all tumult of Girl Band."
FLOOD Magazine

"The track channels elements of punk rock, industrial, electronic, and a garage rock rawness that becomes something of its own thing as it goes along. You can only imagine the way this one would absolutely melt your face if you took it in live."
We All Want Someone to Shout For

"Laced with organ throughout, the first half of the hypnotizing song upholds the tradition of neo-psychedelia introduced by the Velvet Underground and the 13th Floor Elevators, and later carried afloat by the Black Angels and the Brian Jonestown Massacre."
The Big Takeover

"A fiery work that shows the band’s propensity for mixing hardcore with experimental nodes: think Can jamming with Every Time I Die."
Glide Magazine

"An irresistible reintroduction and statement of purpose for the band, and a frenzied addition to their growing canon of killer tracks."
Under The Radar

"Releasing tracks that are everything from thoughtful and slow burning to searing hard rock bangers, to tracks that transform from one to the other, the outfit are at their most prolific and exciting right now, and every new release has you at a loss for what to expect."
CLOUT

Los Angeles alt-rockers Liily helped ring in 2023 by taking the stage as part of Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party, hosted by multi-platinum-selling recording artist Miley Cyrus and global superstar Dolly Parton. Other performers that joined the popular NBC special included acclaimed singer-songwriter FLETCHER, breakout rapper Latto, viral hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, and chart-topping Grammy Award nominee SiaSaturday Night Live’s Chloe FinemanSarah Sherman, and comedy trio Please Don’t Destroy also appeared.

Following their performance as part of the special — during which they performed their newest single "Applause" and a cover of Beastie Boys' classic hit "Sabotage" — Liily received praise across social media, with users commenting: "Liily was the best performer outside of Miley last night," "Liily is the best band I've heard live on TV in forever," and "Liily just crushed it." Wheatus also chimed in with a tweet of his own.
 They also received shout-outs from Music City MayhemStereogum (IG post, too), DORKAmerican SongwriterLoudWire, and more.

Stay tuned for more from Liily, coming this year via Flush Records.
