New Jersey’s The Grip Weeds is one of those bands you’ve never heard of but wish you had. Dunno how those things keep on happening but they did with Big Star. And now again with The Grip Weeds, who just like Big Star play some excellent powerpop with psychedelic diversions. Think The Kinks, think The Who, think the Byrds, think Revolver-era Beatles… basically think of every great rockband from the sixties, throw it all together and you’ve got The Grip Weeds.
With Little Steven Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool Records they have found a new home and to celebrate the occasion there is now “Infinite Soul”, a collection of hits you have never ever heard before. Plus one brand new song called “She Brings The Rain”. And if that one is anything to go by, then the band’s fifth album that they are now recording should be quite the treat!
Score: 7.5 out of 10
