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."

Lightweight, Cozy, and Affordable!
Team Name: Lightweight Comforter, Size: Queen, Color: Lavender Purple
This comforter is such a great value for the price. It’s lightweight but still warm and cozy, making it perfect for year-round use. The fabric feels soft to the touch, and it fluffs up nicely right out of the package. The queen size fits my bed perfectly and looks great once styled with pillows. It also washes well — I tossed it in the washer and dryer and it came out just as fluffy as before, no clumping or shifting. If you want a comfortable, budget-friendly comforter that looks and feels nice, this is definitely a great pick!

King Size does not include corner tabs
Team Name: Lightweight Comforter, Size: King, Color: White
DISCLAIMER - KING COMFORTER DOES NOT HAVE CORNER TABS I've ordered 2 comforters prior to in the Queen size which included handy corner tabs to secure the duvet cover. I recently ordered in the King size and the tabs weren't there. Thinking I got defective product, I returned and was sent a replacement. I was disappointed to discover the replacement also didn't have tabs, so I guess the comforters made in the King size just don't have them. It would be helpful to have that listed somewhere in the product details. It's not worth the trouble of returning again so I'm keeping it. Otherwise the lightweight feel of this comforter is great for Florida weather, obviously we liked these so much we have three in our home now!

So very comfy! I did not expect to love this as much as I do. I was worried about it being too hot. It’s not. I was used to sleeping with a quilt but this is so comforting, the weight of it is so cozy & perfect. I sized up with oversized king for my king size duvet cover. Its so fluffy and perfect for the aesthetic I wanted

So cozy!
Color: White, Size: King, Color: White, Size: King
I absolutely love this comforter! It's very cozy, soft, and fluffy! I bought it for a duvet that I have and it fits it perfectly. It has loops on all four sides to tie a duvet and comforter together, which is really helpful. This comforter is also breathable so it helps me sleep better at night because I'm not getting overheated. The color and appearance is true to the pictures it displayed. It also seems to be quite durable and good quality. I would definitely recommend for anyone needing a new cozy comforter!
