Blue Grape Music Welcome POWER TRIP To Their Roster

Thrash band Power Trip came to a sudden halt when their frontman Riley Gale tragically passed away from a fentanyl overdose in August 2020, and for years, the band said they didn't know what their future held without Gale. But by February 2024, the band had welcomed Seth Gilmore on vocals and started playing several shows, kicking off their new era with an opening slot for Pantera, which brought a bit of heat down on the band as Gale vocalised his distaste for Phil Anselmo after allegations of Nazism and racism.

Now the band is powering through regardless as they sign to Blue Grape Music's record label. In a statement posted to the label's socials, Blue Grape Music said: "We're stoked to announce [Power Trip] are joining the Blue Grape Music crew. Check out the new cover story in the latest issue of [Decibel Magazine]."

Blue Grape Music is an independent record label based in New York City with some European operations based in Amsterdam, created by two former Roadrunner Record employees David Roth – who was head of A&R – and Cees Wessels – the founder himself. Artists on their roster at the moment consist of Spiritual Cramp, Fugitive, Silly Goose, Superheaven, and more.

With Power Trip now signed with a new record label, it's safe to assume there will be new music on the way soon.
