Under the Radar: Henry Clay People


New album "Somewhere on the Golden Coast" out June 8th on Glassnote.

From the L.A. Times:

HENRY CLAY PEOPLE
There’s a big part of Los Angeles holding its breath waiting for these boys to break out. Bands like the Hold Steady, Pavement and the Replacements are often cited when talking about the Henry Clay People, but an affinity for those is not necessary. THCP stands on its own, delivering songs with heart to those who are hungry and turning the mundane into straight-up American rock. On “Working Part Time,” Joey Siara (who fronts the band with brother Andy) sings, “We were working part time all the time…We got drunk and called in sick.” Who can’t relate to that? The group’s live show is a blast of fist-pumping chaos—bodies crashing, spilled drinks. And that’s just onstage. THCP kicks off a U.S. tour with Silversun Pickups and Against Me! on June 15. With a third CD, Somewhere on the Golden Coast, about to hit on the same label that released Radiohead’s In Rainbows, everything is in its right place for great things to come. —Kat Corbett
