I'd like to cherry pick from a few bands. Latest clutch one sounds good.

The Bakerton Group are worth looking at. They're an instrumental band though but they are pretty awesome

Not to hijack the thread, came across a band called Red Fang, not to dissimilar in sound...

Would put them as being closer in sound to the likes of Kyuss, Screaming Trees, or maybe early Queens of the stone age than they are to Clutch tbh.

Having said that I can see why some of Red Fang's music, especially their most recent album, especially would bring Clutch to mind

Finally getting to see the mighty Clutch time to escape from the prison planet for one night at least

Kess73 · 15-02-2014 11:30am

Lionize's new album, Jetpack Soundtrack, is out in a few days (Feb 18th on Amazon).

Have it preordered because their earlier albums are very good. Loving what I have heard from Jetpack Soundtrack though. Shaping up to be a great gig with them providing the support as I would have travelled to see Lionize let alone the mighty Clutch.

That lionize song above is an awful attempt at clutch. Especially the lyrics.

Kess73 · 17-02-2014 5:59pm

Been similarities in how they and Clutch sound for three or four albums now.

Hell they even look a little like they should be in Clutch

Plus with their new album, they have become the first artists that are not Clutch or Clutch band members to get a release through Weathermaker Music.

Plus the new album has been co produced by a member of Clutch and by Machine (who produced Earth Rocker).

So if they did not sound like Clutch after all that I would have been amazed.

Hyperbullet · 17-02-2014 6:06pm

Just got my ticket for the show they announced in Antwerp, excellent venue and only €18 as well. Had been contemplating flying home for the Academy gig. Roll on April!

I'm just surprised that after all that they haven't copped that Clutch are already doing Clutch.

Its the lyrics that irk me more so than the musical style. Seems very forced. Neil Fallon is so great at the abstract lyrics, but they are still razor sharp and funny. Those lyrics seem to be trying to do the abstract thing but without Neil's wit.

I get that all bands have influences and I have no problem with bands wearing them on their sleeves, its when they loiterally trying to climb into the other bands clothes that it annoys me.*

They do sound like Clutch at times, but a lot of their stuff sounds nothing like Clutch.

What they are though is a really good live act, and will be an excellent crowd warmer in a few months.

LuckyFinigan · 18-02-2014 1:15pm

Yeah Lionize are a great band, love their stuff especially their more reggae based stuff, the space pope album is probably my favourite.

Space Pope is a good listen alright.

Do think they are the perfect support act to have for Clutch though.

Their stuff that sounds nowt like Clutch is good enough to be enjhoyed by a Clutch crowd, and their stuff that sounds like Clutch will just get the crowd even more in the mood for the headliners.

Am really looking forward to this gig as I would be a big fan of both bands

blastman · 27-03-2014 12:22pm

Clutch and Lionize are doing a spilt 7" release for Record Store Day this year, apparently:

Awesome, didn't catch their last show and have been listening to them and Red Fang on heavy rotation lately.

And it's a Friday gig too, sweet!

Mozzeltoff · 15-04-2015 1:59pm

Definitely seeing them again. Last time they were out of this world. Some band!!!

Liam McPoyle · 16-04-2015 9:22am

As an aside, the Ticketmaster site is actually getting worse.

NEW CLUTCH ALBUM NEWS, Titled Psychic Warfare, and drops in September.

Saw Clutch lastnight in Torhout, Belgium. Absolutely insane gig, great set, and they played three new songs, "Firebirds", "X-Ray Vision", and "Sons of VA", and all of them were awesome.

To top it off I met the band, well except for Tim, and they are the nicest bunch of guys. Full of chat, very relaxed, happy to sign autographs and take photos. Considering flying home for the gigs in November now!

How would the new songs compare to Earthrocker material? Heard live version of one new one, I loved it so thinking it could be a belter, and hoping album follows suit.

Both "Firebirds" and "X-Ray Vision" were absolute belters, huge choruses. "Sons of VA" was a more stripped back affair but excellent as well. Album is definitely out in September.
