Side Projects: Inappropriate Tone
The side projects section uses informal tone (referring to band members by their first name, etc.). It should be rewritten. Is the band name that's in ALL CAPS that way just to be obnoxious and promotional, or is the band name really spelled in ALL CAPS? <--someone's being anal here

It should probably be trimmed too, if not removed as an independent section entirely. The article is about the band, not about the individual members. Unless a side project is inextricably linked to the band, it's coatrack material. And if a side project is inextricably linked, it will probably come up elsewhere in the article.

Garage punk?
They don't like the tag.

Are you guys trying to break out of the quote-unquote garage-punk tag? Yeah, I’ve always hated that tag. I think everyone who gets tagged that or called that kinda hates it, but I realize it’s going to be inevitable. It doesn’t bother me that much. We’ve never been very traditional with anything we do. We listen to mostly old music and all, but I’m not going to deny the present or the future. It’s always just fun to mess around with stuff. I don’t want to be one of those skinny tie wearing Beatles knock-off kind of bands that we used to play with.

I'm deleting it per Jared Swilley's request!

 * I have to say I disagree with your reasoning here. They may not like the tag, and may even not use it in reference to themselves, but the very fact that this question came up in the interview indicates that they are, or have been, commonly referred to as being a garage punk band.  We need to report the actual state of things, and not just the one put forward by the band. siafu (talk) 23:48, 29 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty confused myself here. If we're using "flower punk," shouldn't that term be defined somewhere in the article or on Wikipedia in general? MichaelProcton (talk) 22:16, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Jared Swilley is a nazi
I was at his house at a Christmas party in Cabbagetown, Atlanta, Ga. He collects nazi memorabilia and civil war memorabilia. He also argued at length about how poor white people do not benefit from white privilege, saying that he himself experienced that growing up. Black Lips would often play at Southern Comfort, a racist, transphobic and homophobic bar that shutdown, and was just outside the city limits. Southern Comfort was known for hosting vendors who sold confederate flags. 2603:3001:3647:0:3896:993B:B797:6FE9 (talk) 13:37, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
