Review

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed.- Carl Jung Assuming Jung is right, the same logic would dictate that the meeting of five personalities would create an equal reaction, five-fold in its power to change. Such a meeting has taken place. In the nooks and crannies of their disparate lives, five boys from Texas found each other. Accident, inevitability, chance, fate no one will ever be able to explain whatever it is that draws the colors of a rainbow together into one stream of pure white light. Green River Ordinance was born from this light. Brothers Geoff and Jamey Ice, Josh Jenkins, Joshua Wilkerson and Denton Hunker joined their lives together into one singular dream. The dream of creating music. While most kids their age were worrying about entering high school, they were writing and performing their own music. They recorded their first EP in the basement of their church, a CD that sold out its first pressing in just a few months. They've packed houses across Texas, and have opened for the likes of BON JOVI, Collective Soul, The Click 5, Blue October, Bowling for Soup, Flickerstick, Simple Plan, Mutemath, Matt Wertz, and many other bands already established in the music world. They were voted in the Fort Worth Weekly Music Awards for Best New Band of 2003 and the Best Live Band in 2004. GRO was also chosen by MTV as one of the top 20 college based bands in the USA of 2006. Still not old enough to be customers in the bars they sometimes play, the band is anything but green. They have lived the life, and on stage or in the studio, this fact is obvious. Smooth, polished and professional, their musicianship and stage presence belies their youth. They look like what they are: rock stars. But that's where the similarity ends. You won't find these young men bashing their way through hotel room walls or overdosing on the latest chemical craze on a tour bus. With their fu --David Kilpatrick

Product Description

A raucous blend of acoustic-driven power-pop rock that, while changing often in tempo and timbre, never sounds anything less than pristine, dynamic, smart, and uniquely Green River Ordinance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Talent, January 14, 2007

By	Gary Hart "GRO Fan" (Fort Worth TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have heard this band live and own this CD and think they are the most talented group of musicians I have seen in a long time. Strongly recommend and see them in person if in your area - worth the drive from any distance.I have heard this band live several times and also own this CD and think they are the most talented group of musicians I have seen in a long time. Strongly recommend and suggest you see them in person if in your area: worth the drive from any distance. Do not let their age throw you - though young these guys perform extremely well and bring youthful energy to a well-seasoned sound.
