"On their MySpace page, Seattle foursome Eastern Grip refer to their music simply as “messed-up pop songs.” What do they do to mess up the straightforward melodies they come up with? They poke, pull, twist, and pummel them with guitars that sometimes twang country-like, and other times crunch angularly in an early ’90s indie-rock kinda way, and still other times feed back with vigor. Then they kinda bash them around with clattering rhythms, and sing and yelp in ways that will never get you onto American Idol. Other times, they hardly mess ’em up at all – like “Boots On,” a classic slab of rollicking power-pop with a Pavement-ish edge that only has a little bit of weird noise in the choruses." Michael Alan Goldberg - Seattle Weekly
GRIPTHERIA is the 2nd offering, and 1st full length album from Seattle rockers EASTERN GRIP. Band members Nick Burt, Michael Welke, Joe Woods, and Rory McAuley have been playing and recording around Seattle for 5 years. They have also been or are current members of local acts
such as Harvey Danger, Rocky Votolato, Ghost Stories and Heather Duby. Their approach is collaborative with multiple song writers, instrument exchanges, and 4-part harmonies.The songs, recordings, and packaging that make up GRIPTHERIA were produced in true DIY spirit. Early sessions in a basalt rock warehouse set the tone for an engaging listen. With this recording EASTERN GRIP have decided to explore various levels of what we call “rock music”, shown most notably in a willingness to experiment with structure, arrangement and vocal harmonies.
