Flipper is an influential punk rock band hailing from San Francisco, California, that has crafted a unique and chaotic sound since their establishment in the late 1970s. Renowned for their heavy, sluggish, and noisy style, Flipper's music is an emblematic amalgamation of punk's rebellious spirit and the slow, methodical beats that would later inspire the grunge movement. Their self-described "noise punk" defies the era's typical fast-paced punk template, instead opting for droning guitars and sardonic lyrics that resonate with a sense of nihilism and dark humor.

Key releases such as "Album - Generic Flipper" and "Gone Fishin'" solidified Flipper's position in the punk rock annals with tracks that displayed an uncanny ability to combine seemingly discordant sounds into a form of sonic artistry. Their 1980’s live performances, documented in "Public Flipper Limited: Live 1980-1985," showcases the raw power and frenetic energy that defined their stage presence, earning them a devoted cult following. Despite intermittent breaks and lineup changes, including the loss of founding member Will Shatter, Flipper has continued to make an impact, with more recent releases like "American Grafishy" and "Love," proving their enduring legacy and influence on alternative music.
