FLIPP
Volume
ARTEMIS RECORDS

Flipp holds the honors of being the first act signed to Everclear frontman Art Alexakis’ Popularity label. If you like flashy, in-your-face no-brainer rock fueled by loud guitars and a sassy attitude then I’m sure you’ll be cranking Flipp’s Volume all the way past eleven baby! This beer chugging party rockin’ disc is quirky, colorful, and most definitely a guilty pleasure. The band has a penchant for the outlandish and you’ll hear it in such tracks as “Rock N’ Roll Star,”“Psycho Babble,” and “Hairdo”. The single ready ”Freak” will take you back to the days when KISS reigned supreme. These catchy tunes come complete with cheesy lyrics like, “If you want to get to the top of the pops you better put the cock in your rock.” I know I should be embarrassed to be caught listening to Volume, but I can’t resist because Flipp’s enthusiasm is contagious. The band members sport names such as Schizo Boy, Chia Karaoke, Flipp Cereal, and Freaky Useless and they look more outrageous than they sound. I could only imagine what their live show is like. If it’s anything like this disc, then it’s a must see event.
