164: CLUTCH - Inside The Metal

“Hey, hey, have you read the news?”   For over 30 years, the mighty minstrels from Maryland known collectively as CLUTCH have been synthesizing sonic goodness that defies categorization, capturing all of the greatest nuances and attitude of 70’s classic rock from “The Days of Yore” and seamlessly blending that together with ingeniously crafted lyrical ciphers and modern-day stoner metal intensity into a single, heavy, wall of sonic potency that doesn’t neatly fit into any specific genre.  In short, there is no other band with a sound as brilliantly eccentric and uniquely idiosyncratic as CLUTCH who (over the course of their voluminous thirteen album catalog) have shown the world that all greatness defies the tedious predictability, mediocrity, and conventional wisdom associated with ticking off some predetermined box. Don’t force yourself to fit into someone else’s box. Instead, be more like CLUTCH and create your own box to fit into (and also, go ahead and mark the time while you’re at it).  It's time to head on down to “Cosmo’s Factory” (which is located somewhere “Down On The Corner”) and find out exactly “what NOT to do at a wedding that’s NOT yours” as you show off your “tindels” to help minimize any “cringeworthy toast moments” that might transpire after “you put a finger in it” and JOIN US as we dive into the genreless, boxless, timeless “pure rock fury” that is CLUTCH.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, Google Podcasts or wherever you get your Podcasts.
