New Rock Artist on the L.A. Scene
Every year thousands of brand new acoustic rock artists flood the L.A. scene with their talents. It's not easy to stand out when everyone's fighting for the same dwindling industry attention. John Clinebell's a new rock artist who's not about to change his principles to "hit it big." His heartfelt songwriting makes it obvious that he'd be making and playing music if it didn't pay a cent. Ever. That doesn't mean he's not a big-time level performer though; his live shows are not to be missed.
If you're looking for some new pop-rock songwriter tunes to jog or drive around to, you'd be hard pressed to find an independent CD better suited for that than John Clinebell's excellent debut release titled Stomping Grounds. 10 tracks take you down into the heart of a man who struggles with love, like anyone else. It's hardly "mope rock" though; Clinebell's work possesses an apparent optimism just through his lyrical phrasing and beautiful melodies. So here's a new rock artist whose debut you shouldn't miss!
