Master craftsmen of groove rock, Clutch, have been honing their sound since they first formed in 1991. It was their second record, the eponymous Clutch, which saw them start to experiment more, blending more funk flavours with their stoner and blues influences, a sign of things to come.

Now, fans will have the chance to hear that record in full, as the band announce plans for an extensive European and North American tour which will see Clutch play the record in sequence and in its entirety.

Released by Atlantic Records back in May 1995, the self-titled album afforded Clutch their first mainstream exposure, and spawned a trilogy of psychedelic-tinged singles still much loved by fans today: "Big News," "Spacegrass," and "Escape From The Prison Planet."

In 2025, marking its 30th anniversary, Weathermaker will release this influential stoner classic on 180-gram vinyl. Full details are yet to be revealed.

Clutch have been writing new music on and off around their touring commitments, preparing for what will be their fourteenth studio LP, the follow up 2022's rave-reviewed Sunrise On Slaughter Beach. Although Clutch have confirmed they are working with producer Tom Dalgety once again, little else has been revealed so far including any expected timeline.

Clutch are:

Neil Fallon - Vocals
Tim Sult - Guitar
Dan Maines - Bass
Jean-Paul Gaster - Drums
