RadioIndy is pleased to present 5 Track Mind with a GrIndie Award for the CD "30 Years Later"

RadioIndy is pleased to present 5 Track Mind with a GrIndie Award for the CD "30 Years Later"

5 Track Mind's CD, "30 Years Later" is an assembly of talented musicians from around the globe who began playing together…30 years ago. It's with this experience they achieve a sound that transcends fads and incorporates refined skills such as three part vocal harmonies and catchy, lyrical melodies. In the song "Signs" the tight vocal layering carries the track with smooth flowing ease, perhaps making even David Crosby take notice. "Stranger In The House" is an eerie ballad with Pink Floyd tendencies featuring striking guitar riffs and solid piano chords. There are allusions to the music that shares the bands history but with an advantage of hindsight. "30 Years Later" is a recommended album for those who wish to re-embark on classic rock music with a fresh perspective.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Michael Krebs & Band with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Don’t Dream Your Life"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Michael Krebs & Band with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Don't Dream Your Life"

Michael Krebs & Band delivers an outstanding album, titled "Don't Dream Your Life," which is reminiscent of the classic rock style. This group has all the right pieces in place as they play with uniformity and are well focused. Lead vocalist Michael Krebs has a consistent, deep, and soulful sound quality that brings together these collections of well-written songs. Energetic and dynamic, "Birthdaysong" swirls together great lyrics while the background harmonies and instruments keep the rhythm moving. The acoustic version of the title track "Don't Dream Your Life" projects thought-provoking lyrics and vocals that are touching and sincere. Both versions of this song have a beautiful crisp and clean piano and subtle strings accompaniment. "Don't Dream Your Life" by Michael Krebs & Band exhibits a great classic rock feel and is an album well worth hearing.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Jeff Alan Ross with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Lock My Feelings In A Jar"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Jeff Alan Ross with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Lock My Feelings In A Jar"

No stranger to the music scene, Jeff Alan Ross, provides an impressive collection of 60's rock and roll and adult contemporary tracks on his latest disc "Lock My Feelings In A Jar." This album features great, original songs that reach well beyond the roots of yesteryear. The infectious opening track, "Love Is Raining Down" is burning with a guitar riff that's not only energetic but is played with intense precision. Not only is Ross a talented vocalist and guitarist but he really captures the audience with his skills on the piano as heard on "Angels In Disguise." As a writer, Ross has captured the essence of memorable lyrics that speak of emotional sentiments and melodies that will take you away to another time and place. A flashback to the '60's rock is heard on the tune "Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Today" with bouncy beats and strong harmonies. Fans of 60's rock won't be disappointed when hearing the classic throwback of rock and roll on the album, "Lock My Feelings In A Jar."

"Mind's Eye" by Hybrid Ice (Classic Rock Artist from Pennsylvania(PA))

Make no mistake about it: Hybrid Ice plays the kind of classic, over-the-top arena rock whose heyday was decades ago. That said, their mastery of the genre, and the winning combination of great songs with brilliantly-executed performances, make their new CD, "Mind's Eye," one for the ages. Boasting the kind of chops & muscle one associates with Boston, Foreigner, Styx and Journey (to name a few), "Mind's Eye" packs the kind of hooks & musicianship to make 21st century standards of rockers like CD-opener "Fight Another Day," or the powerful "Stop Searching." On the original power ballad front, the band delivers the goods with flair & expertise on "Sadder Day Morn" and "Only the Lonely." No song better sums up Hybrid Ice's return-to-glory story, though, than "Worth the Wait;" with its hooks-laden chorus & soaring harmonies, it's as good as any of Boston's greatest hits. Although "Mind's Eye" is only Hybrid Ice's 3rd album (their 1st was in 1982), one can't help but be amazed that these guys never broke through to national prominence. Their vocals, musicianship, arrangements, production and not least, rock 'n' roll passion, are not only dead-on, they're genre-defining. But as bands like Nickelback lead the classic rock parade in the new millennium, Hybrid Ice's "Mind's Eye" CD need take no back seat when it comes to timeless & compelling rock albums.
