Venn Records [Release date 24.03.23]
Already making tsunami sized waves on their recent tour opening for hotshots Grade 2, London punk combo Clobber are making enough noise to wake up the nation. With one breathless blast, this new four track EP captures all the raw spirit of those nascent days of 1976 and ’77, imbuing them with an authenticity and rage that mixes together a powerful Molotov cocktail of destruction.
At a shade under seven minutes, this quartet of stomping tunes don’t mess about but just get in, do what they need to and then leave again, leaving the listener an exhilarated but bloody pulp. ‘Clobber Rock ‘n’ Roll’ kicks off with an ultra-blast of energy big enough to light up a city and the heavy metal dynamics woven into ‘Bully Boys’ buoy up its racing rhythm and its voice of the youth. ‘Hardcore Hivemind’ is a rolling flurry of flying fists and ‘Plugged In’ digs deep on important questions, punching hard at breakneck speed.
Four tracks to get you stirred up and ready to fight the powers that oppress, Clobber aren’t going to stop kicking down doors and provide the soundtrack to a new generation who won’t be silenced. ****
