Pixel Grip’s sound is both seductive and confrontational – a dark, club-driven sound that blends elements
of synth-pop, EBM (electronic body music), house, and industrial into their own edgy, danceable, and
immersive ethos.
Pixel Grip is known for their high-energy live performances and moody, avant-garde aesthetic. In 2024
they toured as direct support to noise-rock contemporaries, HEALTH. Followed by a (sold out) North
American headline run of their own, which included a stop at the iconic punk festival RIOT Fest. Often
exploring themes of desire, power, and liberation, underground cult classics such as “ALPHAPUSSY” &
“Demon Chaser” have been used in campaigns by fashion powerhouses such as VERSACE & Alexander
Vauthier. Relentless touring and placements with major brands have helped push Pixel Grip to the
forefront of indie music. Pixel Grip’s ensuing LP (Summer 2025) arrives as they prepare to expand their
reach into the EU & UK for the first time.
On their third album, Percepticide the Death of Reality, the Chicago-trio looks within and around at a
shifting landscape of fragmented perceptions and social disengagement. The album marks an important
part in each of their lives, both musically and personally. Recorded over three years in Los Angeles &
Chicago, each member privately faced their own demons, including betrayal, addiction, and neglect.
“Percepticide” a portmanteau – a term that originates from – “percipere” (to perceive) and -cide (to kill)
– in essence “the killing of perception.”
