Head Trip is a mix of heavy, melodic and everything in between. Formed by members of Nailwounds and Local Motive, Head Trips goals are to not set any boundaries on their music, and to not fall victim to the "sound like everyone else" scene that sadly still exists. They set out to write music for the pure enjoyment of it, and the fun of rocking out! Currently this fairly new band is finishing writting songs, and are anxious to get out and start playing live! Keep an ear open for more songs....This is just the begining... email us at
