The brainchild of singer / songwriter Jerry Smith, JPS PROJECT was a Minneapolis based arena rock band that toured the Midwest on a regular basis to much regional success before splitting up in the late 90s. Smith would later appear as a backing vocalist on Kelly Keaggy’s (Night Ranger) debut solo album, ‘Time Passes’ in 2001 on Frontiers Records, and collaborated with many other bands as songwriter / session musician.
The JPS PROJECT first recording dates from 1987, professionally recorded sporting a polished production sound, mix & mastering. The band taped the majority of their songs in 1989, with other tracks in the following years.
Now 20th Century Music is releasing this reissue featuring JPS PROJECT songs with a pristine, excellent remastering.
Including a cast of really good musicians, “Crossing Over” is a killer US hard rock record at places bordering AOR plenty of melody, JPS’ strong vocals (with some of Dave Meniketti color), shredding guitar work and anthemic choruses. Think a mix of KEEL, Y&T, BURNING STARR, DOKKEN, VINNIE VINCENT INVASION, etc.
