The fast beat is supported by the drummer Peter Anderson and the guitar parts were written by John Deering himself. The song &#8216;Strip Mall Jesus&#8217; has an exciting almost underground sound with a sparkling dynamic rhythm and winding guitar lines.&nbsp;<\/p><span style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><br><\/span><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">&#8216;Strip Mall Jesus&#8217; by John Deering is a true gem for all grunge and garage rock fans, so we highly recommend listening to this release right now on Spotify.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/johndeeringmusic.com\/\">https:\/\/johndeeringmusic.com\/<\/a>\n\n\n\n\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Strip Mall Jesus\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0FqHRRBnmGrZC8RNhLDIm8?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 15, the Minneapolis-based artist John Deering released his new single &#8216;Strip Mall Jesus&#8217;.
