FIRST REVIEW OF GIANT ON THE BEACH!
"It has been several months since a disc that will contend for Top Ten
honors in 2004
has arrived in my mailbox - that is not the case anymore. The Grip Weeds
fourth full-
length disc, Giant On The Beach (on Rainbow Quartz), features [13] tracks of
primo
pseudo-60s psych-pop that leaves one admiring this band's talent for
building on a
60s (Byrds, Kinks, Who, Amboy Dukes) foundation with an originality that
many
contemporary bands lack. Jangly guitars are sometimes pronounced and
sometimes
blended into the Grip Weeds' "wall of guitars" sound. It's not the jangly
guitars that keep
me listening to their songs - it's the great songwriting, great riffs and
wonderful
harmonies...Long may you run, Kristin, Kurt, Rick and Michael." -Eric
