FUCK YES.
WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFUCKYEAHFUCKYEAHFUCKYEAHCLUTCHBABYCLUTCHWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Best goddamn rock band in the world right now. And it sounds just as awesome as I expected.
Saw clutch when they came thru NY few months ago and they played a few new tracks from this album. All sounded BAD-EFFING-ASS.
Ftw. Epic ftw.
ANTHRAX!!! HAM RADIO!!!!
Neil Fallon has the best lyrics.
And liquor!
These guys have always flown under my musical radar. I need to get that radar fixed.
Awesome. Can’t wait to see them in Chica–
Oh.
They’re doing a Kuma’s Corner sponsored block party in Chicago the weekend of (I think) July 11th-12th.
I cant think of any reasonable excuses for not liking this band.
Unfuckinstoppable!!!!!!!
Clutch and Baroness tour? Someone slap me! That is gonna be a great show.
*slap* now kill me cause the are not coming near me this year. but epic band. i will be depressed
yes this band is always sick.
Wino is still alive?
are wino really tourin’? I mean with Jon Blank dead.
Nevertheless can’t wait to see Clutch again!!!
YEA! Kickass
This is unspeakably awesome. Looks like Clutch is going to be putting out yet another incredible album. I think I know what my 2009 album of the year will be.
Clutch and Baroness are about equal for me in terms of greatness
Meat Heart Clutch
If I could only listen to one band for the rest of my days, it would be Clutch. No question.
July 7th should be a holiday!!
Clutch and Kylesa will fight it out for Top Album of 2009.
Consistently awsome for as long as I can remember liking heavy music. Can’t wait to hear the whole shit.
WOW. I missed their show in my fucking home town just a couple days ago. I really need to pay better attention.
Yet another winner from a band who can do no wrong. Caught these guys with The Sword back in September. Epic show and heavy as fuck. These guys need to go back out with Mastodon!
I just can’t believe how consistently enjoyable the band is even when they change up their sound.
good old clutch. you always know what to expect from them, but it still always kicks ass.
No washington state?! Cmon! I live in yakima! you remember yakima dont you? The place where you dug up them thunderegg stones

BUT IF YOU WANT TO GIVE A HARD-WORKING LOCAL BAND A SHOT:

Vince Neilstein listened to our band. This is what he said about it:
hey dude, sounds good. kind of a clutch-meets-death metal vox kind of vibe. dig the guitar riffs and tone and the songs. like the drum performance but not too fond of the drum tones… though this is a personal preference and probably has more to do with mixing than anything. i think you guys have a good thing going there and should keep doing what you’re doing and refining your sound.
CLUTCH KICKS ASS AND WE ARE HONORED THAT VINCE EVEN MENTIONED OUR BAND IN THE SAME BREATH WITH THEM! ROCK ON!!!
Dude, you’re way too defensive before anyone even said anything to you. (Or maybe you know that there are a lot of asshole trolls in these here parts.)
As for your band, it’s pretty good. (And I hear a real COC/Down influence.)
Sound good bro…. reminds me a bit of your fellow New Englanders SCISSORFIGHT (early).
Thanks guys, I’ll def go check out scissorfight…heard of em but haven’t really listened. I’ll add it to the diverse list of bands we’ve been compared to…always a fun game to play!
Clutch is one of those bands I never really paid much attention to in the past. After hearing that song I might have to check them out some more.
Yes Sammy, I feel as if posting about your own band in a national forum like this is very looked down upon…I decided to say fuck it because I love my band and I work hard enough that I think i’m justified in trying to get other people to listen. Thanks for not pre-judging us and giving it a shot.
i’m a latecomer to Clutch (lets say 4 years ago) but it constantly surprises, and pleases me by the way, how every forum on every website I have seen them on has nothing but good things to say about them.
so basically, they don’t attract detractors. in fact, like a magnet, they seem to repel them. and i like that. more power to them and their following.
looking forward to this new album.
I saw Clutch and Mastodon a couple of years back at the now defunct Crowbar in State College PA and they knocked my dick in the dirt! What a great show.
OOOOOHHH YEAH!!!!!
CLUTCH DELIVERS ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!
Another kickass tune from the greatest RAWK band ever!!!
even though the wino drummer died, the singer/guitarist is doing the one-man-band thing and JP comes out for the last song to play drums with him
YES YES YES!!!!!!!! CLUTCH IS ALWAYS PURE ROCK SATISFACTION!!!!
And When The Smoke Cleared…. All That Was Left Standing Was Clutch!!!
this is the way real rock should sound. clutch constantly kick ass with every album, with every show. one of the best bands of all time. can’t wait to catch them when they hit toronto again. 50,000 unstopable watts indeed.
I have been a Clutch fan for years!!!!!!! I think they are the best band ever. I can’t wait until they come to Pop’s, I’m taking my two daugthers Becky (12 years old) and Brandy (10 years old) who both love the band. It will be their first show ever (why not be the best)…………SEE AT POP’S Sauget IL.
FUCKIN RIGHT CLUTCHCLUTCHCLUTCH ARR
Fucking Clutch, fucking ROCK!
AMEN!!!!
As a ham radio operator that loves rock music, this is like a breath of fresh air! Thanks Clutch for such a great song! You guys rock!

HENDRIX CRASHED INTO LED ZEPPELIN!
Wow. Wow. Wow…I love music,and Clutch delivers some of the best I’ve ever heard. I get so tired of the mainstream. I’ve been musically bored for a loooong time now. It’s rare to find great lyrics, rhythm, arrangement, and melody all rolled into one (along with having it happen consistently)! This band has officially made (another) loyal fan. I remember being in high school. I’d rush to the music store to buy my favorite music, then rush home to listen to it. I’d lock myself in my room until I heard the whole album. I’d absorb every beat, note, and lyric I could. Clutch brought that exact same feeling back. I haven’t unlocked my door since I bought the CD………….
Thank you to Clutch for bringing my enthusiasm for kick ass music back!!!!!!
