Lipstick Generation, otherwise known as Lipstick, is a glam rock/hard rock band based in Nashville, TN. The band began in 2010 when lead vocalist and songwriter Greg Troyan began working with guitarist Billy Morris (2) (Warrant/Quiet Riot/Paul Gilbert). The duo produced a 12 song demo of original songs written by Troyan in the classic hard rock style of bands like Kiss, Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy and Motley Crue. These demos would go on to be tracks on the band's first and self-titled album, Lipstick. After completing the demo, Greg Troyan enlisted the help of bassist Stephen Smith (59) to form a live version of the band and began performing shows in the Nashville area. In April of 2019, the band announced the band was changing their name to "Lipstick Generation" to better reflect the band's new harder image and sound. Alas, in 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the band went on indefinite hiatus.
