THE BAND AND THE E.P: This modern day rock band originally from Dallas, Texas, and currently hammering it out around the club circuit of Los Angeles, California, is CLAYHENRY. These musicians encompass great talent, along with incredible creativity. The band is JC (lead vocals), Mesh (lead guitar), Randy (bass), and Lou Dean (drums). CLAYHENRY’s music can be described as a mix of modern melodic rock and Southern soul. With heavy guitar distortions and undeniable rhythm, their music is a combination of cadence and creative lyrics that is displayed in their live performances and captured on their album ONE. Every so often a band comes around with a certain uniqueness that grabs you from the opening song, and then gets better with each listen. Every song represents a wealth of rock and roll musical styles. The fascination with this new breed of rock musician is their instinctive ability to connect many genres of music, thereby shaping and molding it into something all of their own making; a familiar sound never heard before. The album ONE captures CLAYHENRY’s diversity, with guitar riffs attacked from every angle, addictive, driving bass lines, thundering beats, lyrical depth, chill-inducing vocal melodies and compelling arrangements. There is never a break, mistake, or misplaced note. Perfection is the word and music of this nature grows inside itself, and it will grow on you with each spin.
COVERS: Onstage, the band pulls out spectacular covers from bands such as: U2, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Coldplay, Jeff Buckley and Led Zeppelin among others.

REVIEWS: “… This California-based band was another MidPoint discovery, and their disc has rarely left my player since. Great, well-written rock songs, delivered with, at times, Jeff Buckley-esque vocals. This is a terrific CD.”
