Eric's Trip is a Canadian indie rock band from Moncton, New Brunswick. Formed in 1990, they quickly gained recognition as the first Canadian band to be signed to Seattle's flagship grunge label Sub Pop in the early 1990s. With their unique sound and raw energy, Eric's Trip became pioneers of the alternative music scene. Their single "Viewmaster" from the album Forever Again garnered attention and solidified their place in alternative circles.

Influenced by bands like The Halo Benders, Sebadoh, and Beat Happening, Eric's Trip carved out their own distinctive style. They effortlessly blended elements of lo-fi rock with introspective lyrics that resonated with listeners. Their music captured a generation searching for authenticity and emotional connection.

Over the years, Eric's Trip has inspired numerous artists including Julie Doiron and Robert Pollard. Their impact on indie rock cannot be overstated. With albums like Love Tara and Purple Blue, they continue to influence musicians today. Experience the magic of Eric's Trip through their discography available on our e-commerce website.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Eric’s Trip was a Canadian indie rock band hailing from Moncton, New Brunswick. The band formed 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). White described their sound as “sappy melodic pop music on top of thick distortion.” They were the first Canadian band to be signed to Sub Pop Records, and the band broke up in 1996 (they subsequently reunited in 2001, and again in August 2006). Forever Again is the band’s second full-length, and their follow-up to their Sub Pop debut, 1993’s Love Tara. It was recorded in 1994 at guitarist Rick White’s home studio, Stereo Mountain. It has been out of print on vinyl since its original, 1994 pressing. The 2018 reissue LP pressing is available on a Magenta-marble coloured vinyl.
