The first record from San Francisco's legendary Flipper, originally released in 1982. Post-hardcore? Post-punk? Art-rock? Despite being a part of SF's punk scene Flipper were really only punk in spirit, eschewing conventions and making no concessions. Sludgy, distorted, atonal, noise rock jams that sound as urgent and heavy as they must have 25 years ago. A huge influence on bands such as Nirvana and The Melvins (their current lineup includes Krist Novoselic on bass). Album - Generic Flipper contains the classics Sex Bomb, and Life.

Love, the brand new studio album from the incredible Flipper was recorded with the great Jack Endino at the helm, known for having recorded many of Seattle's greatest Grunge albums, including Nirvana's Bleach. Recording took place at the Murky Slough Studios, on Krist Novoselic's property in Washington. Bruce Loose, Ted Falconi, and Steve DePace would regularly travel to Krist's for writing and recording sessions, and affectionately referred to it as 'Band Camp." With Krist providing bass, the band dug in and recorded one of their best efforts yet combing noisy guitars with that perfect low end bass and the grind of life and love. Love was designed to be a twin and companion to Fight. A well balanced experience from the one and only Flipper.

Originally released in 1987, Sex Bomb Baby is actually a compilation of rare, early Flipper tracks with nothing dating later than 1982. Features all their early singles, B-sides and compilation tracks, including the original version of Sex Bomb, - a song covered by just about every garage/punk/grunge band in the day (including, as said, Nirvana and the Melvins).

The second and final studio album for the original lineup of SF's Flipper was first released in 1984. Flipper took the 'punk' tag to extremes, as no other band in the world was playing punk this slow, sludgy, dark and disturbed. Featuring the haunting Survivors of The Plague and the public incrimination of Sacrifice, Gone Fishin' is an art-punk classic that holds up alongside their more heralded debut. First time on CD, and including liner notes provided by Buzz Osborne of the Melvins.

(2-CD set) Public Flipper Limited was originally released in 1986 as a double LP of live material culled from 1980-1985. The sound quality and playing are both a grimy, distorted mess, which suits the band just fine. Always alternating between endearing and abrasive Flipper left no room for the middle ground of 'like.' The album title is a shot at John Lydon and his alleged plagiarism of Flipper's artwork for his own PIL and it proves that Flipper was never opposed to alienating its audience, no matter how sanctified. Harsh, art-rock classics from one of SF's most important post-hippy era bands.

Hardcore punk band from San Francisco, Flipper recorded this album at CBGB's in New York in 1983. Now 18 years later, this reissue includes 4 bonus tracks, 'Life', 'Sacrafice', 'If I Can't Be Drunk' and 'Ice Cold Beer'. Flipper was one of the strangest bands of the era, they were loved, hated and worshipped. Standard jewel case. 2001 release.

Fight was recorded in 2007 at Dante's in Portland and The Funhouse in Seattle. Both were recorded and mixed by Seattle's legendary Jack Endino. This album includes classic Flipper songs as well as songs from Flipper's new studio album, entitled Love. Fight, along with Love, are bookends that encapsulate time spent recording in the studio and playing live shows with former Nirvana bassist, Krist Novoselic. Fight is the live companion to Love and serves as a perfect balance to the studio album experience. Love and Fight should exist side by side in your album collection. The return of Flipper, just in time.
