With their upbeat music, Black Lips quickly became one of the popular underground bands in Atlanta. However, they were banned from performing in several venues for their crazy live shows.

Black Lips continued to produce music and released an album, 7-inch, in 2002. 7-inch was issued on the band's own record label, Die Slaughterhaus, and received critical acclaim. In order to promote their album, the band scheduled a tour. But just days before a tour began, the band's guitarist, Ben Eberbaugh, died in an accident. He was killed when his car was struck by a drunk driver. Despite this irreparable loss, the band continued, citing that Eberbaugh would want them to carry on.
