Editorial Reviews

Now, listeners everywhere will be able to discover what people in Fort Worth, Texas -- the band's hometown -- already know, as Green River Ordinance releases Out of My Hands. The band spent a year writing and perfecting the songs and then another eight months recording with producers Mark Endert (Natasha Bedingfield, Maroon 5, Gavin DeGraw), Jordan Critz, and Paul Ebersold (Sister Hazel, 3 Doors Down, Third Day). GRO has always had a strong vision about what they wanted to do musically, and are thrilled to see it finally come true.

Out of My Hands by Green River Ordinance is a great album from start to finish. I have had this album since February and enjoy listening to it as much now as when it was new. Their songs are fresh and relevant. The tunes are definitely the kind you'll find yourself singing in your head while doing other things. You should definitely buy the album in its entirety-- you will be glad you did!

I first heard these guys at a David Cook concert, and their music was pretty good and interesting. I actually liked their music much more than David Cook's. They seem to have a wide-appeal indie pop sound that I really like. After listening to the album, I immediately liked 4 songs... not bad i guess (out of 11 or 12 in total). I'm still listening to the album and the other songs may grow on me. I know every song on any given album can't be a home run, but for now I give an above average rating of 3/5.

If you love music that makes you move, Green River Ordinance is the band for you. These phenomenal five released their major-label debut, "Out of My Hands," on February 24, 2009 and these boys from Ft. Worth, Texas have found their sound overtaking iPods and car radios all over the country.
A year and a half of hard work ended in energetic guitar riffs, outstanding drum beats, and moving and relatable lyrics. The gentlemen responsible for such noise include lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist, Josh Jenkins, electric guitarists, Jamey Ice and Joshua Wilkerson, bassist, Geoff Ice, and drummer, Denton Hunker. "Outside" starts the album off strong with fun and upbeat guitars and a fast beat to get you dancing. Soon enough, you are singing along with the chorus of "Outside, outside looking inside/ In time you will find/ everything's easier on the other side," while throwing your hands up in the air and dancing along (while the people in the next car look on warily). The excitement and energy continues to build through the new single, "Come On" and into the title track, "Out of My Hands." Things slow down a little with Jenkins on piano as "On Your Own" begins with its emotional lyrics. The slow sound continues through the beginning of "Goodbye LA", but picks up at the chorus and you are crooning along to the lyrics once again. The excitement continues through tracks such as "Different (Anything At All)" and "Sleep It Off." "Last October" and "Getting Older" will stay with you long after your iPod's battery has run out. This album is not just all about hip gyration, however. "Learning" is sure to grab all romantics with the offer of being "the one you run to/ for the rest of your life." "Endlessly" finishes the album as the perfect modern love song. There is only one negative aspect to this album: that it ends all too soon. These guys will leave you thirsting for more.
In all, this album will have you hooked from the start and will refuse to let go. Be prepared for your music player to be on repeat for a while.
