Chapter Music

Clamm is a band hailing from Melbourne, Australia. With their unique sound and energetic performances, they have quickly gained recognition in the music scene. Their music blends elements of punk, grunge, and garage rock to create a raw and powerful sound that captivates audiences. Known for their catchy hooks and thought-provoking lyrics, Clamm has become a favorite among fans of alternative rock. Whether you're looking for high-energy anthems or introspective ballads, Clamm delivers it all with passion and authenticity.
Formed in [year], Clamm consists of [band members' names]. Together, they bring their individual talents and influences to create a cohesive musical experience. Drawing inspiration from bands like [influential bands], Clamm has developed a distinct sound that sets them apart from their peers.
Since their formation, Clamm has released several critically acclaimed albums including [album names]. Their music has received praise for its raw intensity and relatable themes. With each release, Clamm continues to push boundaries and evolve as artists.

CLAMM explore the confusion of what it is to be a young person trying to live an honourable life in this fucked up world. Their songs are about trying to navigate systems of power and oppression while retaining a healthy sense of self and mental health. Community, creativity, and catharsis are what they hope to achieve through their music.

Care is bigger, louder and darker than previous album Beseech Me (2020). CLAMM dodged lockdowns to record at Rolling Stock and Sound Park Studios with Nao Anzai (NO ZU, Cash Savage, Rolling Blackouts). Nao also plays fearsome synth on the album and has joined the band on-stage at recent shows. Saxophonist Anna Gordon (Mangelwurzel) contributes wild free jazz skronk to a number of tracks.

'Bit Much' is the first CLAMM recording to feature the bass and backing vocals of newest member Maisie Everett (also in Belair Lip Bombs), who joined the band shortly after Beseech Me was released. Jack and drummer Miles Harding have been best friends since primary school, but with Maisie the CLAMM trio finds its ultimate form.

Beseech Me was a Triple R and FBI Radio feature album in 2020 and sold out its original cassette pressing almost immediately. It was reissued on vinyl in 2021 by UK label Meat Machine (renowned as the home for Canadian art-punk provocateurs Crack Cloud), which saw CLAMM featured on the cover of French Rolling Stone and played on BBC 6 Music.

In Australia the band has played with Amyl &amp; the Sniffers, the Chats, Cash Savage and the Murlocs, and played Yours &amp; Owls Festival and Melbourne Music Week. A UK/Europe tour planned for Jan/Feb this year was cancelled for the usual reasons, but the band will return in August for their first international shows.
