Rick Reil And Grip Weeds Interview With Plastic EP

Rick Reil is not only one of the leaders of the badass Grip Weeds, he was also the drummer from 2010 of 2013 for a remarkable dream called the Left Banke. I documented as much of that dream as I could.

It's time that Rick and I got caught up to present day, with the help of Plastic EP.

Enjoy.
