INDIE
In the musically fruitful land of Southern California (Fullerton to be exact), The Steelwells rock and work equally hard. Being in the music industry isn’t child’s play. Joey Winter, an avid blogger himself, recently had a conversation with Linescratchers about Indie rock, trying to balance music and faith, and making money. The Steelwells blend influences from across the grand swath of the modern Indie world (and add personality of their own), but Joey stresses that the important thing is the symbiotic relationship between the lyrics and the music, and above all, the communication to the listener.
