FLIPP
Volume

This is the first band signed to the new label by Everclear's Art Alexakis, and if you like Everclear's style of rock, you'll love Flipp. Part glam rock, part Cheap Trick, Flipp show the listener that pop metal can be fun. The guitars are heavy, the drums pound, the bass throbs, and a feeling of giddiness pervades throughout. A quick check of their website shows the band likes to dress up and use makeup, but don't let the glamour fool you; these guys can play and sing. "La Dee Da," a raucous mixture of Queen and Kiss, features some kick-ass playing, along with multi-layered vocal harmonies. A song like "Cock Rock" shouldn't need explanation. There's a heavy Bolanesque sound to that one too. Similarly, "I Still Love Rock 'n' Roll" should be easy to guess, well as far as lyrically, and it's one of the better tracks on the disc. From start to finish, this disc is a blast.
