I look at the records I enjoy and I think it’s kinda up and down, what the songs… how they are and… Which I really enjoy. Which I agree can be done with Green River Ordinance.
But you think you want to do it separately?
That was just an idea. We’re not even sure, you know. Even a couple of songs we have said are gonna be done through some other avenues, at some point in time, we have worked into the band. So, I guess that kinda has worked its way into what we do. And a lot of times it shows, we’ll play an acoustic song or more folky or whatever. And people are always interested to hear that stuff because it’s different than what’s on the record. So maybe that’s a good sign, maybe we should really open up.
Green River Ordinance are intelligent, diverse, dynamic alt/pop/rock with tons of heart and soul. Below is the video for their single “Breath of Life”. A beautiful example of what they are and how they sound.
You can listen to GRO at their MySpace space or at their website. You can purchase their CD at Amazon or at awarestore.com.

How did these guys come up with the name? Back in proto-grunge days there was the Seattle band Green River, named after a stretch of water up here (Seattle) that many murdered women's bodies were dumped by the famed Green River Killer.
Members of this band? Take a look at Pearl Jam's roster.
OK, trivia....

Hey Douglas - This Green River Ordinance get their name from a street sign they found abandoned in one the band members back gardens. The Green River Ordinance was an ordinance that outlawed door-to-door salesmen from visiting country homes without an appointment.
But he trivia was very interesting, thanks!
