Asian Red (8-song CD)
http://www.thenoise-boston.com/
Formerly a cover band, Grab Brothers have released a full length of original music. Far from derivative, this album offers up a fresh slice of Americana, owing a lot to the sound of seventies bands like Pink Floyd and the Eagles, while also delving deep into independent influences like Wilco, Grant Lee Buffalo, Chris Smither, and the Blood Oranges. The result is an easy blend of folk, country and classic rock. This album really succeeds on the easy, laid back flow of melodic ideas. All in all, this CD stands as a cohesive band album and an album that bears repeated listening for those who want a little flavor in their classic rock without sounding trite or cliché.

This next interview I did a while back but I could not think of a more perfect time to post. The Grab Brothers Band are made up of two real brothers, Marc & Larry. These guys work hard and they do music even harder. While we are dealing with snow & cold weather these guys are gearing up for a big summer full of live shows all over Cape Cod, MA. It really does not get any better than that. My favorite song from these guys is ‘Holly Would.” Its more of an anthem than a song and it’s off the album, ‘Asian Red.’ Join us as Grab Brothers Band talk about making music with your brother, getting a deal without selling out, where to see them on the Cape, and much more. You can even grab Grabby Wigs for $10 on their site! (more…)
The Grab Brothers from Provincetown have a new CD out and it’s a lot of fun. Titled “Asian Red,” after the lead song, it is a mix of lively sounds and some jaunty instrumentals for ’70s retro fans. Punctuated by a clever dose of songwriting, it was imaginatively penned by the brothers Larry and Marc, along with Neil Citron and Mark Wolfson. [...]
Grab Brothers mix it up musically on latest CD.

The Grab Brothers Band began to convert a growing base of support by playing the music of classic rockers such as Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull and Yes. But with the recent release of the CD “Asian Red,” it has begun to gain attention for its own creativity.
This band of brothers — which, when playing live, also includes non-sibs Jason Wamboldt on drums and Rob Scott on keyboards and guitars — says there is one element of a relationship that can rise above any differences and conflicts: making music. [...]
Family harmony with the Grab brothers
SEAN McCARTHY, November 19, 2009
As kids, Provincetown brothers Marc and Larry Grab were always playing music, making up songs and having fun with the musings that crossed their imaginations. Today their whimsical mental and musical wanderings are paying off in a big way. In fact, if things go the way they hope the pair, along with the other two members of their four-piece group called the Grab Brothers, are poised on the precipice, about to tumble into that netherworld where fame is the name of the game, leaving us behind in the glitter of their success to mumble amongst ourselves, “I used to know them when…

Flydown are a tough act to follow, but Cape rockers The Grab Brothers are up for the challenge. They kick in with another cover band staple and crowd favorite Petty’s “American Girl”. They put a twist on it with an extended jam at the end, showin’ off some smokin’ chops while still keeping the driving beat intact. The next song “Smoke Two Joints” comes with props, as packs of rolling papers from smoke shop Shop Therapy come raining down from the stage. “You’re All I Got Tonight” has the crowd singing along and leads up to the one and only original all night, “All The Same”. A groovy mix of rock and soul, a touch of rap, and a rippin’ metal guitar solo somehow all come together perfectly in this tune. The Grab Bros. then do their own Journey cover and break out the flute to finish their set with a song they’re known for – Tull’s “Locomotive Breath”. The Grab Bros are a talented and fun band that do songs most other bands wouldn’t, or more likely, couldn’t. It’s easy to see how they’ve achieved a devoted following on the Cape.
