of Vibes is loaded with cool songs that are sometimes trippy, sometimes poppy,
sometimes garagy, but always appealingly structured and highly melodic... definitely
a road worth traveling...quite a triumph." -Goldmine
"The natural progression from the Who to the Jam to Oasis
- cool!" -Village Voice "The
Grip Weeds have a palpable group chemistry that so many bands boast of but so

New Jersey's psychedelic pop-rockers The Grip Weeds bring you House Of Vibes Revisited,
their highly acclaimed debut album, remixed, reissued and re-imagined for the
21st Century.Featuring an impressive blend of Beatle-esque sensibilities fused
with rock edginess, the band's trademark lush harmonies and high caliber songwriting,
the original release put The Grip Weeds on the map in the '90s. In addition to
striking new mixes of the CD's original 12 tracks, House Of Vibes Revisited
premieres previously unheard demos revealing works in progress and live tracks
from 1994-1995, virtually doubling the length of the original '90s release. Extensive
liner notes, interviews with band members, unreleased photos and an enhanced CD
link to a special online "secret attic space" packed with additional
material are an added treat for fans to explore.House
Of Vibes became not only the title of the band's album but also the name of The
Grip Weeds' recording studio, a full-fledged analog/digital facility stocked full
of modern and vintage gear. Forerunners in pioneering the now ubiquitous practice
of professional home studio recording, The Grip Weeds have produced and engineered
all of their own releases there and those of many other artists as well. Most
recently, Kurt engineered and co-produced Meet The Smithereens, a CD tribute to
the Beatles by New Jersey's The Smithereens. Having
already remixed and remastered their second album The Sound Is In You in 2003,
a "fresh coat of paint" on House Of Vibes seemed a natural next step.
The original multi-track tapes were transferred and remixed using modern digital
technology in a way that would not have been possible even a few years back; the
album's remix is a dramatic and sometimes astonishing sonic improvement, allowing
listeners to hear the music as the band intended but couldn't achieve due to technical
limitations in 1994. The Grip Weeds are singing and songwriting brothers Rick
and Kurt Reil on guitar and drums respectively, guitarist Kristin Pinell and bassist
Michael Kelly. Together, the Grip Weeds take elements like the harmonic purity
and psychedelic spirit of '60s rock and the visceral power of early '70s classics
into the modern era. Surrounded by their vintage equipment, this talented four-piece
band records slices of perfect, radio-friendly guitar-pop- Psychedelic enough
to appeal to record junkies and Sixties-retro fans, but edgy enough to fit seamlessly
into a modern rock set. The band has released four full-length CDs (three on the
Rainbow Quartz label), performed throughout the US and in Europe, and has garnered
significant radio/internet airplay including several songs spotlighted on Little
Steven’s Underground Garage radio shows. In addition, Little Steven has further
embraced The Grip Weeds by featuring them on the compilation The Coolest Songs
In The World, Vol. 2, out now on Wicked Cool Records (Sony/RED).
