By my count, San Francisco slow-punk titans Flipper have reformed twice, once in 1993 at the behest of uber-fan Rick Rubin and again in 2005 to support the dying CBGB. Unlike CBs, the new Flipper flourished, and the quartet–joined in 2006 by Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic–just released a new studio album, Love, along with an accompanying live disc, Fight. Both are available from the band’s website. "Be Good, Child!," recorded with Novoselic before he left in 2008, has all the classic Flipper sonics–sludgy bass, guitars that sound like their being played with butter knives–but weirdly sees singer Bruce Loose offering behavioral advice for youngsters. This from the guy who, in his most classic moment, warbled "She’s a sex bomb, baby…yeah," over and over again. See guys, punks do get old.
Sounds like: Mudhoney, early Nirvana, Black Flag
