Pinnick Gales Pridgen in Blues Rock Review

- With a familiar growl on the mic, this trio’s self-titled debut gives the Eric Gales sound a rejuvenated allure. With perhaps a darker perspective manifested in the album, Gales, along with Pinnick (King’s X) and Pridgen (Mars Volta) keep the blues alive and well.  The finished product comes off heavier than Gales’ recent solo work, more grunge with, of course, some rhythm and blues in the mix. This could well be credited to his new band mates, bringing along shades of their previous projects.  We all know the organized chaos that is The Mars Volta sound, and the high-octane rock King’s X put out.

OHMphrey - "Posthaste" review

"Renowned jam band Umphrey's McGee always has had one foot in the progressive genre.  OHMphrey - a project featuring three members of Umphrey's (keyboardist Joel Cummins, guitarist Jake Cinninger and drummer Kris Myers) plus OHM guitarist Chris Poland and bassist Robertino Pagliari - allows them to experiment even further."
