Pixel Grip is a Chicago-based trio fusing industrial grit with pop sensibility to create a sound as confrontational as it is seductive. Their third album, Percepticide: the Death of Reality, is a dark, emotionally raw record that explores trauma, rage, and rebirth—born out of a near-breakup and creative reunion. Known for their magnetic live shows, Pixel Grip has toured across North America, lighting up main stages like Riot Fest and supporting acts like HEALTH. Their performances blur the line between rave and performance art, backed by brooding bass, sleek synths, and vocalist Rita Lukea’s electric presence. Equally comfortable in warehouse clubs and fashion houses like VERSACE, the band’s immersive visuals and high-glam aesthetics reflect their commitment to radical self-expression. With Percepticide, Pixel Grip proves that the most powerful art often comes from confronting the darkness—and reshaping it on your own terms.
‘Percepticide’ is a cognitive distortion and a symptom of trauma – beliefs you hold to be true are shattered – as you question everyone and everything around you. My dream is that the expression of my rage can help someone else feel empowered and at the very least, less alone. You’re never stuck, and you’re never alone, say Lukea.
