Sounds Like:

A hard rockin’ 4-piece garage band from Seattle who take traditional indie rock songs and turn them on their heads. Band members Nick Burt, Michael Welke, Joe Woods, and Rory McAuley have been playing together since around 2004 and have been involved with local acts such as Harvey Danger, Rocky Votolato, Ghost Stories and Heather Duby. All those different influences definitely stand out in their sound, but Eastern Grip has a new approach. While most of their music is an attempt to mess up perfectly good pop songs, they also have enough hard rocking guitars and vocals going on to give them a lot more punk rock than indie cred. In a sea of familiar sounding Seattle bands though, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, we think Eastern Grip is a refreshing new change to what you might hear, and today is all about discovery. - KEXP.org
