Sounds Like"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."

   About eastern grip
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. Check out New Eastern Grip song "Boots On", featured on a local compilation by Nadamucho.com. Buy it Here: ORDER NOW!! Sounds from the Seattle Underground CD

Hello, after an unfortunate hiatus, the reasons for which are probably best not gone into here, we finally have some new music on the AUK MySpace site. For your listening pleasure this month we offer Nathan Oliver, Conrad Ford, the irrepressible Todd Snider and the delightful Beccy Owen. Don't forget too, for those of you within striking distance of Leicester, Electric Dustbowl 2 on 19 September.

I'm doing an upgrade on some of the tracks I have on this myspace page. I just got done laying down some new tracks for Weakness. I gave the song a 2 guitar a piano some sound effects and backing vocals. I'd like to get as much input from as many of you out there as I can before I go on to the next song!
