"Written Roads" by The Shells (Country/Rock Artist from New York City, New York(NY))

"Written Roads" by The Shells is a strong and powerful Alternative Country/Rock album. The CD, being Alternative Country, fuses in many Rock style elements with melodies that are pure Country in which this creates a hard-hitting and fully enjoyable listen. The opening track, "All I Need is Time" stays true to the band's down-home Country roots both lyrically and melodically. The harmonies in this track fits perfectly while each note played by the acoustic guitar complements the vocals as the emotional lyrics are of pain and the need and will to recover. The song, "I Will Believe You" relies on a progressive tempo and ambient notes that puts the listener in a smooth trance. Country is well-showcased in this album and for those fans who love bands like the Dixie Chicks and singers with the same range and tone must experience the exceptional compositions and lead vocals/harmonies of "Written Roads."

"Mad Forms & Twisted Poses" by R. Scott (Rock Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

"Mad Forms & Twisted Poses," by R. Scott, is a sensationally-made Rock/Americana CD. The beginning of the album has more upbeat, honky-tonk rhythms while, toward the end, the vocalist's New Orleans Blues influences are showcased. With many of the tracks performed using only a solo piano to back the vocalist's broad range, the effect is pure and natural, giving the CD a real sense of intimacy between the lyrics, the music, and the listener. The encouraging, "(Ev'rythin'll) Work Out Fine," employs serious piano talent while the vocals are gritty and piercing with the steady tempo of a hit and snare. The aptly named, "Somber Season," tells the story of expectation, loss, and hope in a pleasant and refreshing change to the toe-tappers that precede it; and, although it's slow, it showcases those rich, attention-getting vocals. All in all, this CD is recommended to all Blues/Bluegrass fans, and even those of singers like Randy Newman. It's full, unique, and thoroughly enjoyable.

"Well I Never..." by JustDave (Pop/Rock Artist from England)

That JustDave rocks with authority is clear, but their excellent new CD, "Well I Never…", also showcases the band's capacity for delivering solid pop-rock tunes that are as immediate as they are enduring. With meaningful lyrics, tightly layered harmonies and biting, guitar-driven arrangements, "Well I Never…" finds JustDave mixing some distinctly '80's-era pop sounds ("Professional Victim" & "The Inconvenient Truth") with Classic Rock sensibilities ("Hard To Breathe" and "I Can't Be Wrong All the Time") in a seamless, 12-song collection that's strong from start to finish. Other highlights include the Blue Oyster Cult-like "Fractured" and the echo-laden power ballad, "When It All Comes Down," but throughout the album JustDave's musical instincts prove spot-on. Well-conceived and equally well-played, JustDave's latest CD, "Well I Never…," finds the English band hitting on all cylinders in delivering an album that rocks with timeless and memorable songs.

"Transformations" by David C Deal (Spiritual/Rock Artist from Ohio(OH))

David C Deal's latest album, "Transformations," uses a beautiful blending of genres in an attempt to give his audience an inspirational and uplifting musical experience. This record is produced song to song; some tunes are Jazzy, some are Rock songs and still others are Broadway-like ballads. The opening track, "Graceful," is an uplifting, instrumented song that centers on an alluring flute playing a melodic melody. On the song, "First Contact" we hear Deal discuss his feelings about God over an energetic, guitar-lead, Rock ballad featuring a string section. Then, on "Flowing Deep In The Night" we encounter a slow moving Jazz song placed behind the vocals of a talented female singer. So while Deal may jump from musical genre to musical genre within "Transformations," the album is held together by his goal of addressing life's largest issue while being uplifting and motivating. Check out this album if you enjoy music that tries to take on intense and deep issues or if you would like to hear how one man can express himself in various musical styles.

"Better Late than Never" by Ron Kemp (Rock/Acoustic Artist from Maryland(MD))

"Better Late than Never" is the newest release from the talented Folk/Rock musician Ron Kemp. The songs on this album for the most part just contain Kemp's warm and inviting voice and his sweet acoustic guitar which gives the production a nice clean and crisp clarity. On this album you can hear undertones of Folk, Bluegrass and Country in Kemp's acoustic styling. "Keepsake" is a slower moving love song in which we can hear Kemp's wonderfully talented guitar picking and strumming skills. On the song, "First-Sight Love," Kemp lets his voice get a little Country as he tells us another love story. "Crocabye Way" is a more fun and uplifting song in which Kemp lets his strumming get a little poppy. While the songs employ different sounds, the album throughout is relatively relaxed and calm. All in all, this entire album works if you are a fan of either love songs sung well or of acoustic Folk/Rock in the way of something like a James Taylor approach.

"The Dream of 'I'" by Doug Wyatt (Instrumental Rock/Ambient Artist from San Francisco, California(CA))

Doug Wyatt's release, "The Dream of 'I'" is an amalgam of songs that take on different genres all seen through the eyes of an experienced electronic artist. The album is well recorded and produced, as it needs to be due to the large amounts of ambient and psychedelic sounds that Wyatt uses within his tunes. He has mastered the art of computer-aided music, and this is plainly heard throughout this entire album. On the track, "Thrill of the Chase" we get a toe-tapping beat underneath a spacey yet uplifting piano piece. Then on "Talking Points" one is presented with grittier, more industrial sounds over a thick, driving electric beat. These songs are then juxtaposed with others like "Artifacts and Fantasies" which contain numerous intricate psychedelic sounds, and are devoid of a traditional beat structure altogether. If your ears would appreciate a plethora of electronic instruments and sounds masterly interwoven, or you consider yourself an audiophile and just appreciate diverse sounds, then "The Dream of 'I'" is something you'll want to take in.

"Last Round" by Joe Genuardi (Rock Artist from Florida(FL))

The debut album, "Last Round" by Joe Genuardi is a fresh and well made "piano man" album. Genuardi has a strong, clean voice and can play the "ivories" like the best of them. His lyrics don't sound trite or half-baked, like you occasionally find with others in this genre. From the title track, "Last Round" Genuardi shouts out to the men he obviously pulls influence from: Elton John and Billy Joel. His songs range from the upbeat and uplifting "Time Goes On" all the way to bleeding heart ballads like "Show Me the Way." Joe Genuardi has produced an excellent Adult Alternative/Pop album in "Last Round" that has at least one song for everyone.

"King in a Temple" by Amie Penwell (Rock Artist from California(CA))

"King in a Temple" is the latest release from the skilled pianist and vocalist, Amie Penwell. Amie's voice is beautiful and well trained, with a soulful, reflective sound that communicates deep emotions on this CD. The simple and crystal clear production of this CD, very nicely captures the power of Amie's voice. She is backed by a plethora of different instruments and musicians on this album, which allows Amie to demonstrate her vocal versatility. On "Momentary Cure" we really hear Amie's ability to create a positive interaction between her voice and piano playing. It is a powerful slower piano ballad that also has a driving sub current. On "So Many Ways" we are introduced to Amie's more bluegrass side as she opts to interact with a fiddle instead of her piano and the result is a quite enjoyable tune. Give "King in aTemple" a listen, if you are a fan of strong, smooth and melodic vocals over mellow yet emotional music.

"Fellin' Fine" by Jeffrey Clarke (Country/Rock Artist from Wisconsin(WI))

Jeffrey Clarke's "Feelin' Fine" album is Country Rock that doesn't stop. His voice is pitch perfect and is complimented by the tight, well balanced instrumentation. Highlighting the vocals is the country style piano that almost plays a duet next to his voice. "Small Town Gone," being led by the drum beat, sounds more than radio ready. Later in the album, the harmonica on "They Got Their Reasons" gives the song the somber self-loathing touch Clarke was looking to achieve. With heart straight from the south, "Feelin' Fine" comes out to 10 terrific songs of Country Rock that would help fill out any great music collection.

Taking their influence from a range of artists such as The Kinks, Cheap Trick, and even Bill Haley and The Comets, this group creates an album with vibrant melodies and lively rhythms. Clean vocals garnish some straightforward but solid lyrics. Tracks like "Roadhouse Paradise" show off some serious bluesy musicianship. Others like "But I Need You" and the CD opener "She Said He's Dead" are driven powerhouses.

As you listen to this album, you will hear fresh and original music at its best as it is well produced and has a nice dynamic balance. Shaw's vocals are clean with crisp clarity and at times project edgy, tough attitude as you can hear on the upbeat Bluesy song "Debbie Rae." The bouncy beat on "Keep Yer Face On Straight" is vibrant and lively and displays a colorful country influence. Showing a softer side, the ballads, "Draw Your Face" and "Once in a While" emits heartfelt lyrics sung with thought provoking tonality. The endlessly enjoyable album, "Raw Shaw" offers a variety of wonderful songs with a beautiful blend of Pop, Blues, and Folk and is an album well worth hearing.

KickBend's album "faith.hope.love" holds onto the same blues, soul, and country roots that rock bands from the 70's and early 80's captured. With gritty, tight vocals and strong musicianship they deliver a classic sound with a contemporary edge. On this CD, KickBend effectively changes tempos and moods, to keep it interesting throughout. The 4th track, "Legend," has the feel of an epic Bon Jovi sing-along ballad. Track 8, "Let's Make This Right," demonstrates the band's abilities by breaking it down to basics in a softer jam. "faith.hope.love" is a fun album with strong, powerful songs and is a great addition to the collection of any Adult Contemporary or Classic Rock listener.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Planetary Nights with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Elliptical Motion "

Leading off with the jaw-dropping, adrenaline-charged rocker, "Road Trip," Planetary Nights sets the bar pretty high on their debut CD, "Elliptical Motion." What follows is a further 14-track exploration of rock styles fused by spot-on instincts and flashes of potent song craft. Built on a classic rock attitude of tuneful and engaging hooks, "Elliptical Motion" is jam packed with songs of raw intensity such as "Luck Runnin' Out," or "Release The Peace" and soulful balladry of "If Ever" or "Hide Away," as well as radio-ready fare defying the constraints of categorization "Don't Hold Back," and "Ebony Eyes." "Countin' On You" features some fine Southside Johnny-style harp licks, while "Starting Over" sways with a mean Clarence Clemons-style tenor sax part that's both gritty and urbane. Regardless of influences, though, Planetary Nights' "Elliptical Motion" is a cohesive and sparkling CD that succeeds because it blazes its own path of genuine fire and passion; a trail that starts and ends at the heart of rock 'n' roll.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Heartscore with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Touch Me "

RadioIndy is pleased to present Heartscore with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Touch Me "

Heartscore's latest CD, "Touch Me," an inventive, adventurous, and – at times, bold, blend of modern rock styles, is both flamboyant and heady, a mixture as explosive as it is effective. Trading off Zappa-like song-shifts, sweeping dramatics worthy of Queen, or Progressive rock evocations reminiscent of Be-Bop Deluxe and /or Yes, "Touch Me" finds German multi-instrumentalist Dirk Radloff exploring rock's cerebral corners to produce a work that's both unusual and accessible. And while modernist and intellectual in its idiosyncrasy, tracks like "I'm Running" and the pretty, "You Are So Beautiful" attest to Heartscore's ability to neatly meld untamed and provocative arrangements with tunes that are fine and tuneful. Elsewhere, angular and abrasive torrents of sound make originals like "Never Leave the Highway" and lead song, "I Did It" into gems of propulsive dissonance. With Radloff's affected and stylized vocal delivery filling in the blanks, and smart synthesizer fills supplementing a guitar-bass-drum core, Heartscore's "Touch Me" CD is a triumph of substance and style sure to appeal to fans of progressive and original rock.

Step into a dominion of artistic Experimental synth Pop/Rock music as Pixilated Theory's imagination runs wild on their recent album, "Top Secret."

The cryptic poetry on "White Walls" easily spins around the creepy synth sounds. Displaying a softer pop style, "Angel of this World" is sweet and tender with thoughtful vocals and lyrics. If you're a fan of the groups Depeche Mode or Pet Shop Boys, you will surely want to hear the inventive mixture of experimental music on the CD, "Top Secret."

RadioIndy is pleased to present Kid Goat with a GrIndie Award for the CD "These People Aren't You "

RadioIndy is pleased to present Kid Goat with a GrIndie Award for the CD "These People Aren't You "

Tom Petty once proudly sang about the southern accent where he came from. Well, despite Kid Goat's eastern (DC & PA) origins, that accent imbues everything about Kid Goat's excellent "These People Aren't You" CD, an exploration of roots and alternative country-leaning rock that adds up to Americana at its finest. With Matt Aquiline and Belen Pifel trading off lead singing duties, Kid Goat strikes a nifty balance over 13 guitar-driven songs that alternately rock, swing, and sway. A jangle guitar underpins the hook-filled opener, "Must Be Blind," as the duo harmonize in the best southern tradition, while on "From You," Pifel's delicate country-tinged voice, which is reminiscent of Tift Merritt's, is the perfect vehicle for an memorable, pretty tune. Elsewhere, Aquiline's voice calls to mind the breakthrough BoDeans debut LP, with songs like "Pennsylvania" and "Working World" capturing the rawness at the heart of great rock 'n' roll. All told, "These People Aren't You" is a solid debut CD for Kid Goat; one that knocks down borders in the service of terrific Americana rock.

"Decadent Light" by Evolve iv (Rock Artist from California(CA))

"Decadent Light" by Evolve iv is a deep, hard-hitting progressive/alternative rock CD. This album doesn't hold back the talent of the guitarists at all. The riffs and chords of the guitars and bass, combined with the laid back but heavy lead vocals, mixed with the cool drum tempos, show musicianship working at its best. The CD covers a range of musical influences from various genres, but fully maintains the essence of solid progressive rock. "Listen Up" will have the listener nodding their head as they mentally try to follow the tricky, melodic guitar and catchy lyrics. Track 7, "Must Have Been The Future" displays the versatility of the lead vocals by having a slight country "twang" blended with hard rock. Among the other tracks, "Voyager" and "Write" are plain examples of the pure talent that this band has. The tracks on this CD can and will have fans of Nirvana, Skynyrd, as well as Coldplay fully satisfied.

RadioIndy is pleased to present the archimedian pOiNt with a GrIndie Award for the CD "genre specific"

RadioIndy is pleased to present the archimedian pOiNt with a GrIndie Award for the CD "genre specific"

"genre specific" is a most curious title for the debut 6-song CD by, the archimedian pOiNt, because within its rocking but accessible grooves are the kind of stylistic shifts that render such labels as metal, progressive rock, thrash, or post grunge simply inadequate. Yes, "genre specific" can boast tasteful and well-executed excursions into these more or less identifiable genres, but such exclamations are carried only in service of the song, and never as superfluous window dressing. Promoting an agenda of social consciousness and global awareness, songs like "Overdrive" & "Relic" rock with fierce - and classic hard rock (think Rush, Fugazzi, System of a Down) intensity, while the mix of acoustic guitar with sampled George W. Bush speechifyin' in "Hubris" recalls nothing less than G'n'R-like grandeur. But in the languid lead vocal of "Nemesis Domesticus" an echo of Kurt Cobain gives way to the sonic charge of thundering guitar riffs that Led Zeppelin began perfecting four decades ago. All in all, the CD "genre specific" by, the archimedian pOiNt, is a very promising blast of rock bravado from an undersized behemoth (it's a 2-man group) with hard rocking roots.

"Out of the Blue" by Joe Colledge (Alternative Rock Artist from New Jersey(NJ))

An excellent blend of Alternative Rock and light Pop awaits you as Joe Colledge releases his second album, "Out of the Blue." The energy and enthusiasm on this album is refreshing and renders the listener wanting to hear more of these enjoyable, melodic songs. Colledge and his talented group of musicians prove their abilities to be focused artists with a well rehearsed dynamic balance. The soft rock single, "Rock Song" moves with a solid, easy flowing beat, vocals that are crisp and clean, and smooth, bouncy guitar progressions. Showcasing some great harmonies, "Story of My Life," is a wonderful ballad where vocals are sung with sweet sincerity. Originally recorded by Three Dog Night, "Shambala" is a terrific rendition as this group puts their own magical spin to it and yet it keeps its original tonality. If you're a fan of the groups Gin Blossoms or Counting Crows, then don't miss a chance to hear the delectable songs of "Out of the Blue."
