RadioIndy is pleased to present J-double-R with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Hip-Hop Rebirth "

2010-01-19T16:07:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present J-double-R with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Hip-Hop Rebirth "

The solo debut album by J-double-R, "Hip-Hop Rebirth," is one collection of genuine hip-hop tunes that exudes intelligence and current-day relevance. Powerful beats fused with poetic, politically potent lyrics provides a perfect platform for J-double-R's pure talent to manifest itself. Opening with the gripping title track, listeners are immediately introduced to J-double-R's raw and hard-hitting rap style. "Changes (feat. kissroyale)" is a lovely collaboration focusing on the remarkable change and progression symbolized by the election of Obama as president, and displays unforgettable musical hooks. The slower-paced tune dubbed "Inner Thoughts" stands out as an exceptionally well-written and representative of J-double-R's sheer creative intelligence. Topped off with seasoned production, fans of honest, genuine, and prudent hip-hop will thoroughly enjoy this CD.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Red Directors with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Wave it In "

2010-01-19T15:56:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Red Directors with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Wave it In "

If you like pop/rock with bigger-than-life hooks and sing-along choruses that stick with you long after the last note has drifted off into the night then, Red Directors, delivers the goods on their latest CD, "Wave It In," a ten song collection of highly polished power pop gems. "After Sunday" kicks things off with its infectious, era-spanning sense of melody and drive. It's only one of several highlights though. "Been Around" and "Pretty Good Odds" demonstrate the band's ballads are no less formidable than their best rockers, despite such defining up tempo performances as "Naked in the Kitchen" and "Woken Eye." Elsewhere, they more than ably show they can cover that middle ground between rocker and ballad too, offering up the terrific "Spin" and the endearing "Amazing," each with the same post-Beatles flourish that infuses the entire CD. With such a solid multi-format, pop/rock approach to their sound the "Wave It In" CD by Red Directors is sure to please across generation lines, a tribute to their talent as well as their influences.

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Buffalo Blues Band with a GrIndie Award for the CD "One Last Look "

2010-01-19T15:13:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Buffalo Blues Band with a GrIndie Award for the CD "One Last Look "

Buffalo Blues Band's seven-track debut disc, "One Last Look," will lasso listeners in with some tasty bluesy treats. The first spin on this album and also the title track, "One Last Look," brings out the deep and soulful harmonica with absorbing blues riffs. The deep-rooted vocals on "Conoco Saloon Blues" brings together the rhythmic beats of the solid bass and guitar. Taking to the softer side of the album, "Feels Like Rain," strikes a chord of a different note as the charming vocals will sweep you away while the guitar gently plays a sweet accompaniment. The chemistry within the band is clearly heard in "Killin' Floor," as each instrument is strikingly dominant in their rock solid fills and pure intensity to the bouncy beat. Not only will you feel the high amount of energy this group conducts but you will be moved by the tonality of their musicianship. If you're a blues fan, you won't want to miss hearing a beat on the excellent and vibrant new album "One Last Look" by Buffalo Blues Band.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Sierra Hurtt with a GrIndie Award for the CD "8 or 80 "

2010-01-18T19:12:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Sierra Hurtt with a GrIndie Award for the CD "8 or 80 "

Songwriter/vocalist Sierra Hurtt's debut album, "8 or 80," is comprised of crisp and refreshing contemporary pop/rock while highly flavorful with folk attitude. Hurtt, who is no stranger to the music scene, charts her own course into the music industry with a voice that is strong and emotive, and emits qualities of deep, rooted, soulful distinctions. Peaceful and serene comes to mind when hearing "Solace," with the soothing acoustic guitar and the tranquility in Hurtt's voice. Laid-back and full of solid vibes, "Rooftops" is embedded with expressive rock guitar riffs that swarm around the sultry vocals that Hurtt generously delivers. A beautiful blend of tingling vocals and thoughtful lyrics meld together with the sweet guitar licks on the gem, "Circles." Don't miss a chance to hear this wonderful album, "8 or 80," especially if you're a fan of Joni Mitchell or Carole King, because with Sierra Hurtt at the helm, you're in for a fantastic ride.

RadioIndy is pleased to present JK Rockets with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Songs From The Cradle of Rock 'N' Roll "

2010-01-18T19:01:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present JK Rockets with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Songs From The Cradle of Rock 'N' Roll "

"Songs From the Cradle of Rock 'N' Roll" by the trio known as Jk Rockets takes listeners on a euphoric trip back to the classic era of rockabilly. The flagships of this CD - superior instrumentation, authentic vocal performances, and top-notch production - meld to create a collection that is nostalgically irresistible and delightfully energetic. The light-hearted and groovy "Text Me Baby" highlights the highly refined musicianship and cleverly composed lyrics displayed on this record. "Brand New Me" slows down the pace a bit, seducing listeners with a contagious blues vibe. Furthermore, the anthem like "Never 2 Late 2 Rock" reinforces the theme of this work, while delivering a powerhouse rock performance filled with brilliant guitar leads and solos. Fans of roots rock, blues, and country marked by relentless energy and excitement will discover a new era of musical euphoria with "Songs From the Cradle of Rock 'N' Roll."

RadioIndy is pleased to present Anne Price with a GrIndie Award for the CD "A Few More Miles to Go "

2010-01-18T18:54:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Anne Price with a GrIndie Award for the CD "A Few More Miles to Go "

The accomplished folk singer, Anne Price, returns with her 4th CD, "A Few More Miles to Go," yet another wonderful collection of (mainly) traditional – if lesser exposed, potent folk songs. Opening with a cover of the late, under-appreciated contemporary folk stylist, Kate Wolf (an influence on Nanci Griffith), "The Trumpet Vine" serves as a terrific introduction for a varied set that reveals folk music's rich and evolving traditions. As a veteran and leading exponent of NYC's storied folk heritage, Price's mastery of the music's many styles is unquestioned. As such, her take on the mountain ballad-like "Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key," a Woodie Guthrie tune originating from the seminal 1998 album by Billy Bragg & Wilco ("Mermaid Avenue") is true and affecting, as is her a cappella rendition of the English ballad, "The Keys of Canterbury." Elsewhere, Price's mid-range voice (not unlike Griffith's instrument these days) is the perfect vehicle for songs of homespun humor such as "Chocolate," children's sing-alongs songs like "Yucky Bugs," or praises to nature's wonder with "Black Waters." But nowhere is the singer better represented than on her Iris DeMent-like rendition of the playful Janis Ian tune, "My Autobiography." Without a doubt, Anne Price's excellent CD, "A Few More Miles to Go," is a fine addition to the American folk music library; the pairing of a revered songbook with a treasured performer.

'The Legacy of Hip-Hop & Reggaeton" by Big-J (Hip-Hop Artist from New York City, New York(NY))

2010-01-12T18:30:00.001-08:00

"The Legacy of Hip-Hop & Reggaeton," the new CD by rapper Big-J, offers a full repertoire of hip-hop and reggaeton sounds, plus various fusions of both genres with other Latin styles (like salsa). With nineteen original tracks, Big-J gives the listener a taste of what real hip-hop - reminiscent of ODB and Bone Thugs and Harmony, truly is. The opening track, "God Show Me Mercy," speaks of the artist's passion for hip-hop and its effect on his life. The beat is solid and the rhymes are fresh and "in your face." It's the epitome of the concept of the album itself. "Fuego" is a fiery Spanglish reggaeton/hip-hop fusion track which is all about dancing; and given the rhythmic detail and catchy lyrics, it'll definitely get the body movin'. Without giving too much away and ruining the excitement of Big-J's CD, the listener needs to make sure they listen to the album in its entirety; especially the last track.

"Obama my President Vision of Change" by Kiss Royale (Rap Artist from the United Kingdom)

2009-12-09T19:03:00.001-08:00

"Obama my President Vision of Change" is more than just an homage to our first African-American president, but a catchy album as well. Some tracks feel like classic hip-hop, some are straight out of the club, but all contain well-crafted lyrics. Songs like "Showdown" will get you up and moving. Others like "J-doub Show" focus on what needs to be said. Kiss Royale's CD shouldn't collect dust with your Obama collector plates and memorabilia. "Obama My President Vision of Change" belongs in your CD player.

"Blame It On Me" by Mike Short Jr. (Country Artist from Pennsylvania(PA))

2009-11-09T18:49:00.001-08:00

Mike Short Jr's terrific debut CD, "Blame It On Me," is that rarest of 21st century Country and Western albums: it's full of genuine country music. The fiddles are pure Nashville, the piano is authentic honky tonk, the guitar tones are patented Fender, and Short's plaintive, down-home vocals recall classic singers with names like Merle, Garth and Buck. Granted, there's enough contemporary country-rock sheen to make songs like the up-tempo "Good Guys Wear Black" and "Lady in Waiting" completely radio-ready, but such studio polish can't hide the deep country underpinnings that make this 12-song collection solid from beginning to end. Bookended by the soulful delivery of opening track, "Who's to Blame," and the solemn tones of the final song - the excellent ballad, "Soon I'm Comin' Home," Mike Short Jr's hook-filled "Blame It on Me" CD touches all the bases on an album for listeners who still appreciate true country singers and real country songs.

"SCR Exclusive" by J-Mill (Hip-Hop Artist from Maryland(MD))

2009-11-04T18:53:00.001-08:00

Exceptionally creative and talented Hip-Hop/Rap artist J-Mill, runs full throttle with his latest disc, "SCR Exclusive." J-Mill and Streetz Certified Records spins an amazing, well produced album as this disc delivers clean and crisp clarity as the sound tracks never overpower the free flowing vocals providing an extremely well balanced production. Catch the innovating energy that rises up on the song "City Boy" as J-Mill cleverly utilizes a looped background hook from Journey's hit song, "Don't Stop Believin'" which swirls around the sly lyrics that grooves to the beat. The vocal wordplay is tight and this catchy song is definitely tailored for the club scene. Another hit song, "SCR Exclusive" kicks in with strong and powerful synth strings/horns and thumping drum beats as J-Mill proves his ability as a brilliant easy flowing rhymer. If you're a fan of Hip-Hop/Rap, then don't miss a chance to hear the outstanding music of "SCR Exclusive" as these songs offers vocal prowess wrapping around fresh and original, artistic arrangements.

RadioIndy is pleased to present AURADRONE with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Whitelite Britelite"

2009-10-11T19:53:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present AURADRONE with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Whitelite Britelite"

Imagine if the members of The Cure decided to replace lead singer Robert Smith with a sexy female vocalist. If you can't, then perhaps listening to "Whitelite Britelite" by Auradrone will help you see the big picture. Hailing from Los Angeles, the band is fronted by the very talented Jon Mack. Her vocals are filled with tasty lyrics and sex appeal to the max. Just give a good listen to songs like "Auto Erotic" and "A Channel," and listeners will be able to hear her vocals at their best. The band is also very good and is great at changing the style of songs while still keeping that "Auradrone" sound throughout it all. "Indigo Child" is both classic 80's and super erotic at the same time, so be sure to give that track a few spins. If you love The Cure or the sound they represent, give Auradrone's "Whitelite Britelite" a good listen.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Howce Clemens with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Each Lifetime Is A Voyage"

2009-10-11T19:42:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Howce Clemens with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Each Lifetime Is A Voyage"

Howce Clemens brilliantly fuses the sounds of pop, rock, and R&B on his new EP, titled "Each Lifetime Is A Voyage." Clemens' voice throughout the entire album has a musky Johnny Cash vibe to it. That country vocal tone shines through on numbers like "Please Take Care" and "Little Darlin'." Taking a nod from another rocker band fused with country, the Eagles, Clemens delivers a wonderful piece of music with the title track, "Each Lifetime Is a Voyage." The vocal harmonies in the chorus and complementing instrumentation give this track a happy, lighthearted feel. Howce Clemens' "Each Lifetime Is a Voyage" is a great album for any Johnny Cash or Eagles fan looking for a new and fantastic set of tunes.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Ramblin Dawgs with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Rockin Blues"

2009-10-11T19:02:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Ramblin Dawgs with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Rockin Blues"

The Ramblin Dawgs energetic three song EP "Rockin Blues," is full of classic 70's/80's blues tone we all love and remember. The first single, "Steppin Up" is a wonderful throw back to the sound of the Fabulous Thunderbirds with some dirty guitar work by Carlos "C-Dawg" DC. "You Let Me Down" also showcases "C-Dawg's" Clapton infused playing and lets us hear the band jam out some soulful, slow tempo blues. Closing out the three single EP is "Worse Without You," a Chicago style blues number with solid chord progressions and guitar driven riffs and solo. The band as a whole is extremely talented, but Carlos' guitar skills stand out amongst anything else on this disc and deserve to be noticed. If you like Clapton or that old school Chicago blues sound, then "Rockin Blues" is a great CD to add to your collection.

2009-10-11T18:52:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Nypoleon with a GrIndie Award for the CD "The Warm Up"

Rising star Nypoleon and his CD "The Warm Up" is an amazing debut filled with soulful R&B and is guaranteed to make a big impact on the music scene. His influences stem from Boyz II Men to Michael Jackson, helping create his unique songwriting which blends old school R&B with Hip- Hop and Reggae. "One Last Time" highlights Nypoleon's smooth vocal performance and his ability to fuse his influential genres, creating a tone that is somewhere between Ne-Yo and Bob Marley. On "Always Be Around," his R&B side shines brightly and once again gives us another standout vocal track. His songwriting is well worth mentioning as it separates him from his contemporaries who just deliver the same old beats over and over again. If you love Usher, Babyface or Kanye West, then "The Warm Up" will be spinning in your CD player for quite sometime.

"Before Dawn" by Keith Wesby (Jazz Artist from Washington D.C.(DC))

2009-09-17T20:08:00.000-07:00

You will be delighted by the smooth Jazz instrumentals of "Before Dawn" by accomplished bass player Keith Wesby. This album proves that Wesby has a talent for creating melodic and interesting compilations. The arrangements are a beautiful blend of his fine bass attributes combined with a mixture of well orchestrated instruments. The smooth bass line of "A New Day" moves with style and ease as the strings, electric piano, and horns come together with pleasing sound texture. Funky grooves mingle with drums and guitar on songs such as "Lite Tower" or "That's Your Opinion." Wesby's bass talents runs full throttle as his strong fingers runs with intense precision across the fret board with classical style on "Chopinism (Opus 28, 3-4-5)." The charming and refreshing collections of Jazz instrumentals on "Before Dawn" will be sure to please and is well worth listening to.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Maurice Mertoli with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Sunrise Forever"

"Sunrise Forever" is an impressive country pop album from a talented singer/songwriter in Maurice Mertoli.

"Running Free" has one of the better arrangements on the album with a great piano line leading the way, a great bass line, and nice guitar solos. Mertoli shines as he sings catchy, positive lyrics about "Running Free" forever with the love of your life. "The Way She Loves Me" is a song about loving someone the exact same way they love you and features a great piano and harmonica arrangement. With "Sunrise Forever," Maurice Mertoli has delivered a solid country album with original arrangements and modern vocals and lyrics. Fans of country pop, pick up this album before the sun goes down.

"Felicia" is the five-song electro pop debut EP from fifteen year old phenom Felicia Punzo. Prepare to hear about Felicia for years upon years to come, as her smooth and clean vocal performance puts her in the same vein as Miley Cyrus and early Madonna. Suffice to say, she has mainstream written all over her. This EP is filled with great electro and hip-hop beats that, even if dared, you couldn't sit still to. Felicia writes her own lyrics, which is more than you can say about most young pop sensations. She sings about love and lost love, including one particularly heartfelt song, "Angel," which is about a young friend of hers that passed on. The recording quality is excellent and ready for club play, or to be cranked up at a house dance party. "Do It Anyway You Wanna" has a nice electro beat and a great use of synthesizers, showing Felicia's minimalist side. "Love of a Lifetime" is a more lyrical track ready for radio play that is sure to make you marvel at Felicia's maturity level considering her age. Overall, "Felicia" is an impressive debut from a young new artist sure to consistently make her way to the radio waves. For fans of electro pop and the likes of Miley Cyrus, Felicia Punzo would make a worthy addition.

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

2009-08-06T17:13:00.001-07:00

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.

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Phoenix Jazz Project with a GrIndie Award for the CD "When Lights Are Low"

"When Lights Are Low," the latest album by The Phoenix Jazz Project, reaches well beyond its roots of jazz/big band styles. One may consider jazz to be one of the most technically challenging styles of music, but this group has cohesively crafted the art. The chemistry between the musicians is unbelievably tight and consistent. One such example of this bond is the sax quartet interpreting the harmonies through a series of voicings on "I Mean You." Listeners will hear outstanding vocals, as they are polished and demonstrate maturity while never faltering on these complex melodies. The piano gracefully glides across the ivories with a true jazz feel on "Oncallogy," while a smooth swing tempo is performed with soft brushes on the drums and a silky walking bass line. Fans of Count Basie, Cannonball Adderley, or modern big band sounds will really enjoy The Phoenix Jazz Project's refreshing jazz album "When Lights Are Low."

"Pick Your Poison... Hip-Hop by Pedro el Poeta (Rap Artist from Florida(FL))

2009-06-17T20:31:00.001-07:00

No stranger to the music scene, the talented Hip-Hop/Rap artist Pedro el Poeta sets in motion a compilation of beats and grooves with his latest release, titled "Pick Your Poison… Hip-Hop." Poeta's spoken words are poetically infused with colorful instrumentation blends which give a cohesive and consistent sound. His voice is strong and rich and he reveals his abilities as an easy flowing rhymer. The language voiced throughout this collection is both English and Spanish, as listeners will hear on "El Problema." Smooth and silky word play is heard on "What Better Time (feat. Manny)" with soft drums beats and synth sounds. Mysterious tones swirls around the harmonious poetry with style and ease on "Unheard" and "Para Mis Padres." "Pick Your Poison… Hip-Hop" by Pedro el Poeta is Hip-Hop/Rap with artistic poetry that pulses with upbeat energy and demonstrates the talents this performer has to offer.
