I managed to get my hands on Clutch's 2nd album today on Dutch Import. Self-titled, it's the only one I don't have on CD, but now I do.
So I'm listening away to it and trying to get someone, anyone, interested enough to get something by them.
All this talk recently of nu-metal and rock, but there's about 2 people here that know Clutch.
Your Honour knows them now, I sent him a mix-cd and I think they worked their way into his mind.
They're classed as "Stoner Rock", which basically means they have a lot of fun, don't make angry "life sucks and parents are mean" music and put on a stomping live show.
I've seen them 4 times now, and each and every time has been brilliant.
But none of you know them...shocking.
An age where a 30yr old millioniare record-exec can wear a baseball cap backwards and leap about shouting "Give me something to break", but a hard-working incredible band play to 200-300 people each time they come over.
Dammit, that's not right.
If you like rock, if you like Queens of The Stone Age, Led Zepplin, Stone Roses, Kyuss, Black Sabbath, funk/blues then get one of their albums, or leave a message here and I'll do you a CD myself to prove that they will rock your boat big time.
This album came 2 years after their debut, which was a hardcore, angry album with lots of shouting and swearing.
It appealed to the jock-rock crowd, but they got bored with getting up and screaming night after night, so they did what came naturally and just recorded the most downright shuffly, groove-soaked, riff-laden album I've ever heard.
They still rock the hard jams, but with a style and rythmn you ain't never heard before.
Some song titles on this one:
Texan Book Of The Dead
Rock N Roll Outlaw
Escape from The Prison Planet
Spacegrass
I Have The Body of John-Wilkes Booth
The House that Peterbuilt
Tim Sult Vs The Greys
I can't overstate just how monstrous and groove (I hate that word but it fits so well) filled this band are.
The lyrics are intelligent and extremely literate for a genre that seems to rely on "Smash Stuff!...Hate your mum and dad!..School is hard!".
But not just clever, but deal with subjects that you would never, ever think of if you were in a band.
On this album you have ones about finding the body of the guy that assasinated Abraham Lincoln whilst fishing, a pyscho truck driver that is spoken to by aliens and spends his time seeking out others to convert and a warning to not mess with The Weebles when they're out together because "you know they Weebles wobble whenever they get ticked off...Hell Yeah!"
But forget that stuff, Clutch do what a rock band are supposed to do - They rock. Big time.
Make you tap your feet, want to play the drums or guitar, shuffle-dance around yer house whilst cleaning (maybe that's just me though).
A rock band that has fun without being a comedy band, creates furiously rythmic music and, above all else, rocks you like nothing else can.
C'mon people, I read that we're all into different music forms, just take my word for it, seek out Clutch and you will be rewarded.
Or sent me an email and I'll do you a mix CD, I promise you'll fall to your knees and thank Clutch.
"I stared long and hard into the light...everything gonne be alright...YEAH...I smash through the halls like the son of Samson, hollering louder than all of Bedlam...everything gonna be alright..."

Oh I ain't joking when I'm telling ya
That while in the Yakima,
Digging up them thunder egg stones
Well we cracked them wide open
The mountain started smoking
And the sky turned the colour of a crow
Fires in the Northlands
Floods to the South
Put the pedal to the metal
Let it all hang out
The ash turned to confetti
Halleluajah!
Outside the great tri-cities
Halleluajah!
May God show his great mercy
Halleluajah!
Turned ash into confetti
Halleluajah!

Let it all hang out
The ash turned to confetti
Halleluajah!
Outside the great tri-cities

Turned ash into confetti
Halleluajah!
Fav lyrics:
"Hey hey now what's that smell? Just like cornbread done too well..what you need, you know I got..so hands up..who wants to rock?"
"So tell me, when you passed the practice scholastic aptitude test, did you know the answers or did you just guess? What's the matter with you? How come you rhyme monosylabically? Has atrophy stricken your entire vocubulary?"
"Yes I'm a New World Samurai, but a redneck nonetheless..hari-kari crampon, nine-iron spitfire, continental samurai, oh my lord"
"Like back when I was waging peace against the Visigoths..I was tutored in the ancient mysteries by a wisened philosoph..learned the polyrthym of celestial time..wait for the one to come and get it done to finish the rhyme."
"And against my better judgement I went walking out that door, I smiled at one person and I nodded to three more, a man asked me for a dollar I asked him what for? He said I have seen them, I said ok it's yours"
"The Kalaedoscope programme is functioning so beautifully...fire up all the primary engines..calculate project nexus...Good God!"
"I went deep down into that river now..I rose up I felt that sun beat down on this sinner's face..yeah..and I went deep down in that water now..I rose up I felt that sun beat down upon my face...yeah..everything's gonna be alright..yeah..everything gonna be alright"
