Description:
Tripper has been described as the child of The Dave Matthews Band and the Counting Crows. We can't argue with that.

History:
Known for great lyrics, solid melodies and a catchy, modern rock sound, tripper has established itself as one of the top bands in the Midwest.
The Detroit-based band got its start in April 1999 when Frank Buscemi (vocals/guitars/harmonica) and Steve Marvicsin (guitars/vocals) both appearing as solo/acoustic artists performed on the Gentle Friday stage at
Central Michigan University. Ken Thomas (drums/ percussion/ vocals) and Aaron Berch (keyboards/ vocals) later joined to round out the lineup.
Tripper released its second album - Yesterday, Friday & Today - during June 2002 with tracks from the album featured on commercial radio in Detroit
(89X; 96.3 WDVD) three months before recording was completed. Since January of 2001, tripper songs have been downloaded from its MP3.com site more than
19,000 times, with the single "My Angel" reaching the #4 slot on MP3.com's Top 100 national chart. The charting led to tripper being named one of the
"best unsigned bands of 2001" on MP3.com.
