The Hellp on Fashion, Chaos & Becoming a Modern Rockstar

The Hellp join SPIN Presents Lipps Service with Scott Lipps for a deep dive into their journey — from early struggles and living out of a car, to building a cult following and releasing their sophomore album Riviera. Noah Dillon and Chandler Ransom Lucy open up about their origins, the intersection of fashion and music, being discovered through the LA creative scene, and how their sound has evolved into something entirely their own. They also break down the meaning behind Riviera, discuss the idea of “indie sleaze,” reflect on influences like Lou Reed, Oasis, and Blink-182, and share their Top 5 Nine Inch Nails songs. From chaos to control, underground to global — this is The Hellp story in full. #TheHellp #Riviera #LippsService #SPINMagazine #IndieSleaze #MusicPodcast #NewMusic #AlternativeMusic #RockRevival #NineInchNails #FashionMeetsMusic #UndergroundMusic #LAArtists #PodcastClips #MusicInterview 00:00 Intro 01:15 Touring & Life on the Road 02:52 Growing Up 05:21 First Musical Memories 08:18 Living in a Car & Early Struggles 10:17 “Legend Status” 10:51 Forming The Hellp 13:36 Chandler’s First Modeling Gig (A$AP Rocky) 17:08 Starting the Band 19:42 Luka Sabbat Discovery Story 24:08 Fashion & Creative Identity 26:20 Getting Blocked on Shopping Sites 29:22 Hedi Slimane Influence 35:36 Blink-182 & Angels & Airwaves 39:10 The Musical Evolution of The Hellp 39:40 Influences: Lou Reed, Oasis, New York Dolls 43:15 The “Indie Sleaze” Debate 44:32 2hollis & the New Wave 50:00 Riviera — The New Album 51:30 The LA Fires 58:36 Top 5 Nine Inch Nails Songs ⸻
