There is doubtless something earthy about their approach and appeal, their intelligently crafted and furiously performed material tapping into both the primal and cerebral. This commitment has seen their loyal fanbase swell exponentially as this wildly individual quartet continues to put out albums that distil their essence into the sacred grooves of vinyl and compact discs worldwide. One of the hardest touring bands on the scene, the past years have seen Clutch play all over the world, putting 100% in from everywhere from the club circuit to the festival shows.
