Red Zone Rider review by Jon Wilmenius

...from etainmentnewsreviews...

"With no expectations what so ever, I plug my earphones into my iPhone to get a blast from this new three-piece. “Hell No” runs me over on the spot with an addictive groove and some major Led Zeppelin influences. A great opener that tells us that these guys really masters groovy 70’s hard rock like a charm. “By The Rainbow’s End” also runs with the Zep foundation and has a heavy groove, a brilliant melody and a killer chorus. “House Of Light” takes a turn into the blues with good dose of soul, but still rocks me good and leaves me with an enamoured smile on my face. We get a ballad in “Cloud Of Dreams”, but there’s no cheese here to be found. This is not a power ballad, this is a blues ballad, very emotional and full of feel and passion – love it! I hold “Save It” as one of my personal favourites here, a swinging soul – rocker that reminds me of Richie Kotzen’s solo stuff. With “Never Trust A Woman” we get some dirt under our finger nails, a more rough and dirtier sounding song, almost a bit dishevelled – and I love it. “Obvious” reminds me a bit of when Keeling was fronting Norum’s band, only better. It’s a slow rocker and Norum would have (at least he should have) killed for a song like this on his Keeling-fronted records. “Hit The Road” is a total killer, a flabbergasted rock jam that swings and grooves like crazy. Fantastic!"

Eric Gales talks Pinnick Gales Pridgen

...


Jeb:  “Been So High (The Only Place to go is Down)” may be the best song on the album.

Eric: Dude, that song there ain’t no joke at all!  I’m just saying there is some serious material on this record.  Some of this stuff is hard for me to talk about because there is nothing to say; it just leaves me plain speechless.  All you can say about it is, “Gaaawwwwly” if you can even get that out!  Dude, it is self-explanatory.  That song is just a hard, hard, hard Zeppelin type, bluesy song.  I feel that the point got across very well lyrically and musically.  The solo that is going on during that song, when I listened to it I couldn’t believe that I soloed like that for eight minutes strong.  I am very happy with that one.  I am happy about them all.  When I think of all of the elements that went on and went into this album it makes me very, very happy.

Points North Interview Jason Saulnier of Music Legends

Points North Interview
Questions and Answers with Eric Barnett guitarist for Points North
February 15, 2012



Eric Barnett


01. In March, Points North is releasing “Road Less Traveled” album, could you describe the idea behind the album?

Well, it’s our first album…and accordingly, I’d describe the idea behind the album as the story of the band thus far. Very little about Points North – the way in which the band formed, the makeup of its members, the path we’ve taken to get to this point, even down to the music itself – has been what one might describe as “conventional”. Just being an instrumental band in the first place, in this day and age, is arguably a statement of individuality.

So “Road Less Traveled”, the title inspired by the Robert Frost poem “Road Not Taken” and its ending, “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference“, felt like a good description for the journey we’ve been on – individually and collectively – that we felt was reflected in the music we’d created for the album.
