Greg Meckes is a Buffalo, NY guitarist who has released two independent releases. The first Square One is a straight ahead rocker similar to releases by Gary Hoey or Satriani. Most songs are based around hooks laden riffs with melodies played over them. The overall style is catchy hard rock without a metal edge. "Go Funk Yourself" is lifted above the other songs by a funky bass line and more aggressive guitar. "Barrkus" is the most dramatic song and most likely to appeal to the metal fan with an almost MacAlpine like sound. Overall Meckes has very good chops and the production is above average for independent releases.
