Parry Gripp

Imagine the most infectious television commercial jingle you have ever heard, then turn it into a two-minute pop-punk anthem. Parry Gripp creates music that is surgically designed to get stuck in your head, utilizing bright synthesizers, crunchy power chords, and lyrics that focus almost exclusively on food, cute animals, and internet phenomena. It is the sonic equivalent of a bowl of sugary cereal: colorful, fast-paced, and unapologetically fun.

What sets Gripp apart is his background in legitimate 90s pop-punk via Nerf Herder. He brings a professional level of songwriting craft to subjects as absurd as raining tacos or space unicorns. The production is crisp and loud, often mimicking the high-gloss sheen of advertising music, which makes the absurdity of the lyrics land even harder. It is music that refuses to take itself seriously while being technically flawless in its execution of the 'earworm' formula.

Start with 'Do You Like Waffles?' or 'Raining Tacos' to understand the cultural footprint he has left on the internet. For a deeper dive into his stylistic versatility, 'For Those About to Shop, We Salute You' showcases his ability to parody almost any musical genre within the span of a thirty-second fake commercial.
