Cathartic post punks Clockwork Era release their brutal debut EP ‘Fear Inside’ on the 23rd of April 2012. Watch the video below:
Clockwork Era commentate on an imploding society through jagged riff-laden buzz-saw guitars, crunching drums and incessant repetitive mantra like vocals; war, social commentary, lies and paranoia are all delivered with vitriol, resentment and anger.
There is a underlining punk aesthetic that sits alongside the likes of Cerebral Ballzy, Blacklisters and Off but the band pull in from a number of areas; No Wave era bands such as Teenage Jesus or Theoretical Girls spring to mind alongside The Jesus Lizard, Sonic Youth, Circle Jerks or even Royal Trux whilst all delivered with a deadpan Mark E Smith vocal angst.
After promising early demos ‘Fear Inside’ represents the band harnessing their chaotic stage presence with four taut and explosive statements.
Track listing:
1. Fear Inside
2. Kids Are Clowns
3. White Sound
