Trip Around The Sun is a vibrant 12-song collection of Grip Weeds originals, reflecting the band's determined yet positive outlook on life through the power of music. After decades of acclaimed studio and stage work, the Grip Weeds are regarded as New Jersey rock royalty, featuring a mercurial set of brothers (singer/drummer Kurt Reil and guitarist Rick Reil) and one married couple (Kurt Reil and lead guitarist Kristin Pinell Reil). Bass player Dave DeSantis is the only Weed not bound by DNA, and to date is their only bassist to not spontaneously combust on stage, be absorbed by the Federal Witness Protection Program or marry a Kardashian.
