Issue #36- Green River Ordinance- "Hold On"


According to the always-accurate Wikipedia, today's band, Green River Ordinance, has been compared to Sister Hazel, Matchbox 20, and Third Eye Blind. They're pretty accurate this time, as, just like Love and Theft yesterday, this song could have been a Modern Rock hit circa 1997. Formed in 2003 in Texas, these guys were touring buddies with Flickerstick (remember THEM from VH1's Bands on the Run?), and have released 3 discs, a full length effort, "The Beauty of Letting Go," and an EP "Way Back Home" on their own, and now, signed to Virgin Records, their debut "Out Of My Hands."

They've gotten some OK reviews on their new disc... the problem... everyone compares them to the aforementioned Sister Hazel, Matchbox 20, and Third Eye Blind. Is that a bad thing? Not in my ears.
