Russ Maines on SoundBetter

If you want guitar driven power pop rock sound. I'm your guy! I specialize in well crafted rock songwriting, top lining, and guitar playing.

Hi! I'm Russ. I specialize in soaring guitar driven power pop. I sing, play guitar, bass guitar and a little keyboard. Although my strength is writing lyrics, and my personal style is very Beatle-ish, I can give you a classic rock sound sort of a mix between Cheap Trick meets Ace Frehley.

Samples:https://soundcloud.com/beachball_rock

To be clear, I don't write beats, it's not my thing. I write guitar driven rock.
