FLIPPER
Hardcore's most deliberately slovenly group, they made feedback-drenched classics that droned at a glacial pace.
They came, they saw, and they conquered -- sort of. Never topping the charts, nor possessing
a huge following, San Francisco's Flipper, even in the '90s alt-rock sweepstakes, would still be
considered a fringe act. But, in 1982, they were the toast of rock critics across the country
with their post-hardcore punk masterpiece "Sex Bomb." Clocking in at over seven minutes,
possessing one riff played over and over (and sloppier and sloppier), with vocalist Will Shatter
screaming rather than singing (total lyrics: "She's a sex bomb/My baby/yeah"), it was a remarkable
record: loud, proud, defiantly obnoxious, and relentlessly dumb. But in it's own gleeful and
intentionally moronic way it was (and remains) a perfect record. With "Sex Bomb" providing
the impetus, Shatter and fellow Flippers, vocalist/bassist Bruce Loose, drummer Steve DePace, and
guitarist Ted Falconi, emerged from the fractious muck of the California hardcore punk scene
(Shatter and DePace played in the Bay Area hardcore band Negative Trend in the late '70s) with
a crushingly loud, slowed-down sound that resembled the Stooges at their most drug-addled
"LOVE CANAL"
