Three days into Download Festival 2023. At this point in a standard weekend at Donington some people would be starting to wind down, pack up the tents ahead of going home but not at Download 2023! Anticipation was high ahead of Metallica’s second set of the weekend, while the day was full of other hugely…
The line up for Download Festival 2023 just got a hell of a lot bigger! Some huge names have been added to the already impressive set of bands playing Donington this Summer. With so many great bands joining the fun, it’s difficult to know where to start. So we’ll start with some favourites of ours…
With a mammoth US tour alongside Helmet Already under their belts, as well as a stint across the pond in Europe. Stoner rock royalty, Clutch are back on English shores once again. Bringing their Sunrise on Slaughter Beach tour to a close with a handful of extra UK dates. Despite the mercury plunging well below zero…
When people talk about the most consistently brilliant artists in rock music history, the biggest cult bands and the best live acts of the last 30 years, Clutch will always be an answer. Doing nothing but exactly what they wanted to do since their debut album released in 1993, their 13th studio album threw a…
It’s hard to think of rock band who are on a better run of albums than CLUTCH. Certainly in the stoner rock genre there isn’t anyone who can match them, KING BUFFALO aside, possibly. Sunrise On Slaughter Beach is the band’s 13th album, but we doubt there’s anybody expecting it to witness any great misfortune….
Last month, Clutch came to the UK to warm our souls in the cold December nights. This was especially true at The Roundhouse in London’s Camden Town, where they put on a wonderful show (the review of which, you can read right now if you’d like). Alongside our review, we also had our photographer, Daniel…
Clutch, like ZZ Top before them, seem to be a huge cult band who are long overdue to burst well and truly into the mainstream consciousness. Since forming in 1991, the Maryland four-piece have released a string of critically acclaimed albums and played on some of the biggest and best-known stages in the world. Their…
They’ve only been back a week and they’re headlining festivals! My Chemical Romance have been announced as headliners for the 2020 Download Festival Australia next March. My Chemical Romance top an impressive line up that also includes high spots on the bill for Jimmy Eat World, Deftones, In Flames, Testament, Ministry, Clutch, Carcass and Alestorm….
After ten days of pretty much non stop rain in the build up to the festival at times bordering on the torrential, Rock Sins really wasn’t sure what we would find arriving at the 2019 Download Festival. Stories abound in the mainstream media of attendees having given up in the campsite on the Wednesday and…
Well, the Download Festival team have just reduced us all to a bunch of gibbering wrecks with their latest announcement for Download 2019. One of the greatest collection of bands ever unveiled in a single Donington announcement boasts heavy hitters in all kinds of sub-genres of rock and metal. Topping the pile (seriously, where do…
As Christmas crept steadily closer and the country started thinking about actually buying some presents as it’s 21st December, Clutch rolled in to London to play their biggest UK headlining show to date at the O2 Academy Brixton in support of the Book of Bad Decisions album. I was lucky enough to get some time…
Clutch have shared Hot Bottom Feeder, the third single from their upcoming LP ‘Book of Bad Decisions’. The track is, in essence, a recipe for Maryland crab cakes delivered in Clutch’s unique style and follows the band’s two previously released songs from the record, How To Shake Hands and Gimme The Keys, which arrived next to news of the…
