"LA-based the Henry Clay People came together when brothers Joey and Andy Siara, tired of donning leisure suits and playing for drunk college students, decided to form a band that focuses more on songwriting and less on showy aesthetic. The result is a rock band that combines 70s rock and punk influences." [1]
