Mindwalk Blvd is a Boston-based trio comprised of two 16-year-olds -- Jordan Ferreira on guitar and lead vocals and Mike Avakian, bass, keyboards and vocals, plus 13-year-old drummer and vocalist Tyler Hudson. I've been following these guys for about a year, and I continue to be impressed with their level of musicianship. I first saw Mindwalk Blvd on YouTube covering the song In the Dead of Night by UK, recorded when Ferreira and Avakian were 15 and Hudson was 11. It's a tough song (the original version is here), and I dug the fact that these kids were not just attempting a fairly difficult progressive rock tune, but doing a pretty good job with it. Ferreira in particular does justice to Allan Holdsworth's guitar solo.
