Maryland's CLUTCH has been ripping up the globe for about 10 years now. Formed sometime in 1991, this foursome has dropped four full length albums (Transnational Speedway League, Clutch, The Elephant Riders, and Jam Room) that have had their own distinctive sound. Now, with their fifth full length, Pure Rock Fury, the boys finally found a way to combine all their various styles from over the years and turn them into one flat out, undeniable monster of an album!

The tone is set right from the first track (American Sleep). A mass of heavy funk that'll blow your speakers right outta their box, this track is Clutch ast their finest, combining their Hardcore, Metal, Rock and Jam Band influences. It doesn't stop there. "Careful With That Mic" is a very simple (musically) track that has one sole purpose, to lampoon the utter stupidity (and lack of musical credibility) of RapRock. Lead vocalist Neil Fallon rips through the track with a rapid fire delivery of the vocals and a sense of sarcasm, you can almost imagine the smirk on his face as he sticks it too the Fred Durst's and Kid Rock's of the world.

On the album, CLUTCH gives the un-initiated fan a taste of them in their purest element; Live. The addition of a live version of their underground classic "Spacegrass" is a supreme highlight and definitely gives you a taste of what it's like to see CLUTCH live.
I highly recommend you go out and get this CD TODAY! Sell a kidney, Sell your children, Rob a bank, do WHATEVER you have to do to get the money to buy this, trust me, your musical life will never be the same again.
