Eric's Trip were a Canadian indie rock band hailing from Moncton, New Brunswick. Forming in 1990 when musicians Rick White and Christopher Thompson of The Forest joined Julie Doiron and Ed Vaughan (who was later replaced by Mark Gaudet of Purple Knight), they took their name from a Sonic Youth song. They emulated the distorted guitar of Dinosaur Jr., the folk leanings of Neil Young, and the lo-fi aesthetic of Sebadoh. Rick White described their sound as "sappy melodic pop music on top of thick distortion."

This song has the wrong photo. The photo on Slaps below this was accidently switched. There is shouting and losing voice in this that I enjoy. Photo by Abbas Tehrani on Unsplash (on this song too).more
The rest is what it is, but I really do like the first chorus, without vocals, when the chaos of putting an old laptop filter to a low budget acoustic guitar appears.more
