Flipper has inspired countless bands such as Nirvana and Melvins, and has been proclaimed one of the most important American punk bands of all time. Founded in 1979 in San Francisco, Flipper became known for their slow, bass-driven pedal stomp that had a major influence on the birth of grunge and sludge. The band became a critical favorite and their 1982 debut album "Album - Generic Flipper" has been ranked as one of the best punk albums by several international music magazines.
