When the pop in alternative rock died in the late 90s, The Kimberly Trip rushed to give it CPR. Armed with witty, sarcastic lyrics; a truckload of sparkling guitar hooks; pulsating synthesizers; urgent drums; and a female voice that captured the crooning sensuality of Garbage's Shirley Manson and the youthful innocence of No Doubt's Gwen Stefani, The Kimberly Trip was able to breathe life into a dying genre. While the rest of the world roared and rapped, the Kimberly Trip bounced with the adolescent energy of new wave when it was fresh and bursting in Day-Glo.

Based in Sacramento and Orange, CA, The Kimberly Trip was formed by guitarist Jeffry Wynne Prince and drummer Bractune, self-confessed high-school nerds with sci-fi obsessions. Along with vocalist Kimberlina, bassist Sierra, and keyboardist Misha, The Kimberly Trip wraps pointedly funny social observations and introspective confessions around toe-tapping, pogo-inducing rhythms. The single “Schoolgirlcrush” is the highlight of the Kimberly Trip’s knife-sharp humorous narratives, an ode to sexual confusion that wears the nerd label like a badge of honor. However, the group has a serious side as well, best exemplified by the haunting “Burn Inside my Skin” and the soaring heartbroken anthem “Give Up."

Generation Stereotype is the 5th studio album from the band and has been called “A sonic masterpiece; A lo-fi, epic album with an explosive chemistry that is brimming with life-affirming vibes and buoyant rock & roll that is charming and irresistible.”
