Clutch's Neil Fallon Discusses Bands Plans For 2012 & Offers Tips For Fellow Musicians!

When Clutch was ignited in 1991, they had no set agenda or a long-term plan as in what they wanted to accomplish musically. All they knew is that if they wanted to keep themselves from having to get "regular jobs", they would have to dedicate their entire lives to their music and tour, tour, tour. They also realized that in order for them to prevail, they would have to create memorable rocking songs.

It took Clutch a lot of hard work and patience to fine tune their signature sound, and it was actually a lucky mistake that changed the bands sound forever. When the band was formed, current vocalist/guitarist Neil Fallon was a backup singer. It turns out that one day the original singer didn't show up to a gig, so Neil stepped on stage and took over the front-man slot. The band immediately knew he was the missing ingredient to establish Clutch's sound.

On Friday, December 30th, Clutch performed in front of a sold-out audience at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey. Joining the Kings of Modern Rock, were Corrosion Of Conformity and Kyng. The hungry crowd of Rock N' Roll children celebrated the conclusion of the holiday season and the ringing of the new year, by grooving to the phenomenal rocking sounds that all three bands cranked up for their fans ears to indulge in.

Before Clutch's rocking set, we had the chance to chat with Clutch's front-man Neil Fallon. During the interview we discussed the bands plans for 2012 and we even touched upon his musical career. Fallon even shared some useful tips for fellow musicians. Sit back, grab a cold one, and crank it up!

The band immediately knew he was the missing ingredient to establish Clutch's sound.

The band pressed their 7" titled "Passive Restraints" in 1992 via Earache Records. Following the success of the their 7", the band signed a record deal with EastWest Records. In 1993 Clutch released their debut EP titled "Transnational Speedway League", but it was only until they released their self-titled album in 1995 that the band received mainstream exposure on the radio.

Ever since then, the Clutch boys haven't looked back once and are constantly reinventing their sound without losing sight of their perfect delivery of modern Rock N' Roll! They are one of the tightest sounding bands today, and they prove this night after night, show after show. As a result, bands like Motörhead and Black Label Society have asked them to be direct support during both of these bands tours earlier this year.

Clutch recently performed at the Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in front of a hungry crowd of Rock N' Roll children. Before their phenomenal set, we had the chance to chat with Tim Sult (guitarist) about the bands current and future plans, we also talked to him about the history of the band and about his signature guitar sound. Wake up and check this awesome interview out.
