In 1967 John Lennon starred in a cult film called How I Won The War. In 1988, a band from New Jersey derived their name from Lennon's character in the film, Musketeer Gripweed. In 2015, The Grip Weeds devised an album that delivered on the promise of the film's lofty title. In truth, How I Won The War, the sixth Grip Weeds studio album of new material, features more emotional depth and a greater plot than the film of the same name. Like any great piece of art, the themes explored by The Grip Weeds in this 'concept' album are universal, yet there is plenty of room for the listener to insert themselves into the proceedings. Featuring vocal harmonies that would make CSNY jealous and muscular musicality on par with The Who, How I Won The War is the edgiest Grip Weeds album to date. There is no shortage of visceral stompers ("Rise Up", "Follow Me Blind"), but How I Won The War is no one trick pony. "Other Side Of Your Heart" is an acoustic-driven slice of modern psychedelia that early-era Pink Floyd fans are sure to enjoy. "Life Saver" is pure power pop with an introspective bent, while "Rainbow Quartz" and "Over And Over" take wistful looks back to budding relationships and salad days. The pounding groove of "Force Of Nature" alone will remind Mods young and old what attracted them to rock and roll in the first place. Al Kooper: "This New Jersey band has been around since the '90s; they eventually built their own recording studio which has been used by many other bands as well. Maybe that's why this sounds so good. Very Beatles and Byrds, with exceptional drumming." Little Steven: "We like to mix it up in Jersey and The Grip Weeds are a great example. A touch of John Lennon, a bit of The Byrds, a dash of The Kinks, pinch of The Who, and a dollop of more muscular Zombies and you get something quite original actually. And quite cool."

Buitfiful watch
Color: Blue Face/Silver Strap
Buitfiful watch with a good weight. The size adjuster only really works though if you unscrew it completely and just push the pins out with that. But other than that it's a buitfiful watch.

Totally worth it!
Color: Blue Face/Silver Strap
This looks better in person. I had purchased it for my husband as he was looking for a dress watch. This is perfect! The watch is beautiful and the packaging is beautifully done. I'm beyond happy with this product and plan to buy another one in a different color for my son. Definitely go for it and buy it. It's worth it.
