Marylands 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 Dursts and Kid Rocks 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.

Pure Rock Fury by Clutch is the best album I've bought in a long time. Too bad the tab section of this website sucks so much.

I heard "Careful with that Mic" the other night and I about ran off the road laughing! My girlfriend almost had to grab the steering wheel for me. I've always liked what little bit of Clutch I've heard over the years, and this song is no exception. Surf Wisely!

withheld: Finally, a Good band gets some press!
Clutch may never sell lots of records but like Kyuss, the Minutemen, and
the Ramones they are more than legends, they are an institution.
