CLUTCH UNLEASHES NEW ALBUM, �FROM BEALE STREET TO OBLIVION,�
MARCH 27TH LAUNCHES WORLD TOUR, BONNAROO APPEARANCE TO FOLLOW
Clutch has been kings of the metal underground for years by this point � on the strength of such past classic as �The Elephant Riders� and �Pure Rock Fury.� But with their latest release, �From Beale Street to Oblivion,� the quintet � which includes oft-bearded singer Neil Fallon, guitarist Tim Sult, bassist Dan Maines, drummer Jean-Paul Gaster, and organist Mick Schauer � Clutch is threatening to infiltrate the mainstream full-on. And it�s not that the group has softened their sound at all, it�s just that it�s arguably the band�s strongest album from front-to-back.
Produced by Joe Barresi (who has worked with Kyuss, Tool, Melvins, Queens Of
The Stone Age, etc.), the twelve track album touches upon a myriad of hard rock styles � stoner rock, southern rock, blues metal, and plenty of tasty jams. �This is probably the most �live� album we have recorded,� enthuses Fallon about �Beale Street.� �We went out for a few weeks, and played the music on the road. So, when we went into the studio, all of us knew exactly what was going to happen - a first for Clutch. I don�t know why we haven�t done it this way all along; it�s so much easier.
We also recorded the basic tracks directly onto tape. Nothing digital in there at all. We haven�t done that since �The Elephant Riders�. And this record has a few more bluesy elements than has been the case in the past, but nothing so blatant that it could be called alien to what we do.� One of rock�s most hard-working live bands, Clutch will be supporting the March 27th release of the album (which is their third for the DRT label) with a world tour � including U.S., European, and Australian dates, as well as an appearance at the mammoth Bonnaroo Festival on June 14th. �Musically, we�ve become much more of a rock �n� roll band now, as opposed to being a metal or hardcore one,� says Fallon. �Our style is riff oriented, with a swing. It�s never been a calculated move; we just followed our instinct, and that is leading us closer to those bands to whom we listened in our childhood. Bands which are now termed as �classic rock�.� With �From Beale Street to Oblivion,� it won�t
be long until Fallon and company are mentioned in the same breath as their classic rock heroes.
