RELEASE DATE: 4/17/26
"Generic Flipper," the debut album by Flipper, remains the most absorbing full-length to emerge from the early San Francisco, CA, punk scene. Recorded between October 1980 and August 1981, and released in 1982 on the indispensable Subterranean Records, this album functions as a chaotic, sticky mass of individual personalities: the magma-like bass eruptions and dual vocals of Will Shatter and Bruce Loose, Ted Falconi's icy guitar scraping, and the relentless beat of drummer Steve DePace. Tons of indie bands have attempted to recreate Flipper's mix of acidic guitar, metallic bass sludge, and sardonically brilliant lyricism, using the seemingly effortless template they pioneered; however, the effect usually drives listeners right back to "Generic Flipper."
