THE GRIP WEEDS - SEE YOU THROUGH EP (1992)
The very first Grip Weeds release. This critically-acclaimed 7" EP includes "Used to Play", "Gone from the Day" and "Hard to Take."
The Grip Weeds were formed in New Brunswick, NJ, in the late '80s, when Reil and his brother, singer/guitarist Rick Reil, joined forces with guitarist/singer Tim Mesko and bassist Mick Hargrave. After playing the East Coast club scene for a few years, the Grip Weeds recorded an EP titled See You Through for Ground Up in 1992.
Kristin Pinell replaced Tim Mesko and their first full-length album, "House of Vibes", came out on Ground Up in 1994, it was reissued in 2007 but weirdly enough, the seminal EP was not included on that deluxe reissue.
The byrdsian "Gone To Play" has never been included on any Grip Weeds collection, but "Used To Play" and "Hard To Take" were later re-recorded in 2010 for "Strange Change Machine".
