Clutch

Clutch combined elements of funk, Led Zeppelin, and metal with vocals inspired by Faith No More. Formed in 1991 in Germantown, MD, the group included Neil Fallon (vocals), Tim Sult (guitar), Dan Maines (bass), and Jean-Paul Gaster (drums). They built a local following through constant gigging, and after just one 7" single (the classic Earache release "Passive Restraints") Clutch was signed by EastWest Records. Their debut LP, Transnational Speedway League, followed in 1993. A self-titled album appeared two years later and afforded Clutch some mainstream exposure. They jumped to the larger Columbia label for 1998's Elephant Riders, and many thought the group might join their sonic cousins Korn and Deftones in the alternative metal winner's circle. That didn't quite happen. But it didn't matter, because a quality fan base continued to thrive for Clutch. Pure Rock Fury appeared in 2001, and the similarly uncompromising Blast Tyrant came three years later as their first for DRT Records. Their seventh full-length, Robot Hive/Exodus, followed in 2005 and featured the first lineup change since the early '90s, the addition of organist Mick Schauer. Among Clutch's numerous side releases were a groove-based album (2000's Jam Room), as well as Live at the Googolplex and the rarities record Slow Hole to China, both issued in 2003. Also issued in 2005, Pitchfork & Lost Needles combined Clutch's 1991 Pitchfork 7" with unreleased demos and early tracks. In the fall of 2006, the band hit the studio with producer Joe Barresi (Kyuss, Melvins) to record their next album; the resulting From Beale Street to Oblivion appeared in March 2007. In 2008, the band released a CD/DVD compilation of live tracks from shows in New Jersey, Pittsburgh, and Sydney titled Full Fathom Five: Audio Field Recordings 2007-2008 on their own label, Weathermaker Music. The band followed up in 2009 with Strange Cousins from the West, before delivering their tenth album, Earth Rocker, in 2013. ~ John Bush, Rovi

Clutch is undeniably the best actual words to the wise out there. I would love to hang out plug me in and download me with this awesome Intel he has bestowed upon the few who see past the verse and to the message behind the music. Clutch keep fighting as will I we will prevail. Thank you

Aint no band like the almighty CLUTCH!!!!
punkrockvw
They need to get the Strange Cousins from the West album on here!!!
clutch is like no other band they are their own sound there is nothing like clutch and the lyrics omg what fun i hane seen them more timess then i can count and the bakerton group wow
I hate the question, What kind of music do you like? So I just give a blanket response. However, Clutch is always one of the first bands I think of when I'm asked.
Who wrote this nonsense bio? What Faith No More inspired band is the writer confusing Clutch for? And what the hell does sonic cousins mean? Clutch sounds nothing like Korn or Deftones!
Clutch isn't a boston band . tree sounds nothing like clutch . Or vice versa . I grew up on sam black church and tree shows , sick of it all , Loa , vod , biohazard , madball etc and clutch is right at the top with the best of them
If you like clutch check out tree, they are another band outta Boston.
20+ Years. The same 4 Motherf****e r s still together and still pounding out some of the most amazing ground breaking rock. Truly inspirationa l !
Just plain pimp $hit right here
neil fallon is a god damn prophet.
Wow! I came here to comment on how much this band sounds like 16.

Josh, you would love you some 16 also. Try Zoloft Smile.
Best band ever!!! Seen them 16 times. Have everything they have ever done and then some. Love me some CLUTCH!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
soshumasamun e
I'm with you erik- seen Clutch live at least 3 times, drove across states to see them live before they came to Pittsburgh, my hometown. They kick galactic amounts of a**!
erikmast51
Whenever I talk with anyone about music one of the first bands I bring up is always Clutch. I figure if they don't have anything good to say about Clutch then there's no point to continue the conversation .
MIXED BY ONE GREG CLARK...
No Led Zep here? Danny and the others that don't hear all of their influences are retarded. I LOVE Clutch and that is because they encompass all of that greatness of the 70's like Sabbath and Zeppelin. Their music is littered full of all of the great jam elements from the 70's. There is nothing wrong with that. They do it well and deserve all of the success in the world.

The description above is completely wrong. There is no Led Zep here. There is no Faith No More either. Been listening to them since the '90's. Such a great live band.
Clutch does not really compare to any other band. Sort of a funky, fun version of Black Sabbath - but not exactly. The stuff the songs are about is almost black comedy at times....so you get that too.
In a way I am sorry they didn't hit the big time, but glad at the same time because I would hate to see them hit the big time and stop being creative.lik e so many groups do. Seen them 4 times now and always try to catch their show when they are in DC. As good live as on CD, unlike bands like Korn.
dragonflytb
Fantastic live, too! Seen them 6 times
Black Sabbath, Melvins, Mastodon, The Sword.
It's hands down the songwritting that sets this band apart from any other.
sonic cousins Korn or Deftones???? Please mofo. Clutch is incredible.
there are no similar bands to clutch! the closest would be High on Fire, but they're way faster and heavier musically..
