Flipsyde. That scrappy little pit bull of a band with roots in Brazil, Chile, and Alabama; but born, bred, and fought in Oakland CA. Flipsyde picked up a microphone, a couple guitars and turntables, and smashed everything from Soundwave Studios in Oakland to the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam where they opened for Snoop Dogg and The Game. Several world tours - all over Europe, Asia, and India; Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, Soul Train Music Awards, X Games; Flipsyde even wrote the anthem for the 2006 Winter Olympics and performed in the video with Team USA. A black dude, a Latino, and a white boy; Flipsyde is an American band. A melting pot of styles, attitudes and energy. Melodic strings and lyrics that sting; beats that range from hard Hip Hop to meditative, they bring the power of truth. But the same truth that builds can also destroy.  

Flipsyde ultimately destroyed themselves. Deaths, drugs, and the combination of internal and external pressure sent lyricist Piper, singer Steve Knight, and lead guitarist Dave Lopez off in different directions searching for that same truth that once bonded them together. Piper got tired of saying “Fuck the police” and paid his own way through a police academy to create change from the inside. Steve battled with drug addiction until he got strong enough to pull other addicts out of the hell he had been living in. Dave went to work at a pawn shop, every day watching people sell their dreams until he couldn’t buy them any longer. The beat, the strings, and the microphone were calling.  

Wiser, sharper, determined and full of passion, Flipsyde has returned to the world with a story to tell. A story of truth, war, and love - destruction and resurrection. Their upcoming EP Flipsyde Prophecy (early 2020) was recorded in Richmond CA over the span of a week. Co-produced by longtime friend and collaborator Reto “Retovin” Peter, Flipsyde Prophecy reunites them with the tens of millions of fans that have streamed their music and watched their videos through the years.
