After the split of Middle Fingers High, he joined the punk rock band Flipstar, in which he continues to perform until today. They have released two albums Back to Basics and Sweet Sally Toe, and are currently recording their next. They have also produced two video clips This Feeling and State of Mind. Aside his two main bands, Peepeace also played in a crust punk band Dead City Motion, from 2012 to 2014 and is currently participating in a collaboration project called Versus, a band that consists of members from different countries, who cover punk rock songs and are currently working on releasing work of their own. During his drumming career, Peepeace has shared the same stage with bands like the Real McKenzies, Walls of Jericho, Pennywise, Streetlight Manifesto , Less than Jale , Civet , Dog Eat Dog, Propagandhi, MxPx and others. His influences are bands from the 90’s punk rock scene, as NOFX, Pennywise, Lagwagon, No Use for a Name and Guttermouth.

Peepeace has attended 10 years of piano and music lessons, and has taught himself how to play drums since the age of 8 years old sneaking behind his parent’s back. He also has his own Youtube channel, by the name drpeepeace in which he uploads drum covers. Fat Wreck Chords referred to him as “The guy who should take Smelly’s place, when Smelly retires”, and Pennywise have featured him on their facebook page.

Aside from drumming, Peepeace works as an employee in a surf shop in Athens, and as a carpenter in his own workshop. Therefore his talent has been expanded by making his own drumsticks. He is being sponsored by Monster Energy-Music,

Peepeace claims that “Besides all the different things I have to go through every day, I still have the strength and stamina to play faster, have fun and never forget to live by the culture I grew up with, the so called 90’s punk rock culture!”.
