Alternative
Clutch combine elements of funk, Led Zeppelin and metal with vocals inspired by Faith No More. Formed in Germantown, Maryland, in 1991, the group built a dedicated local following through constant gigging. After just one seven-inch single, Clutch were signed by EastWest Records. Soon after, they released their 1993 debut album, Transnational Speedway League. Playing surprisingly poppy speed-rock, the band includes Neil Fallon (vocals), Tim Sult (guitar), Dan Maines (bass), and Jean Paul Gaster (drums). Their second album followed in 1995, and in 1997 Clutch issued the rarities collection Impetus. By the end of 1997, the band had signed a major label contract with Columbia. Their first album for their new label, The Elephant Riders, was released in the spring of 1998. Pure Rock Fury followed three years later. John Bush
