Clockcleaner - Auf Weidersehen

Since 2007’s release of Babylon Rules, Clockcleaner have toured the trailer park areas of the United States as well as conquering the scorched earth of Australia. During this time the band recorded this 4 song EP length record that sharpens their midnight howl in a direction only hinted at in previous releases. Whereas the guitar was a bit louder and the bass and drums lurched and lobbed in the past, the band now operates in a deathly throb that beats like the dying heart of a lonely man. John Sharkey’s voice lays the gloom on like a cyanide capsule hitting a vat of acid with you strapped into the chair for the ultimate death ride. The songs are sharpened to a razor wire edge with creepy tales of inter-coital head games, walks through dank sides of life and opportunities sorely missed. This is music made for adults with valid ID cards willing to lay their shit out bare for everyone to see. The black snake is crawling outside your door, lace up your boots, bring your saddle and mount the damn thing.

RIYL: Christian Death, pre-Breakfast Club Modern English.

• A lasting gravestone release from Philadelphia’s Clockcleaner packs in more drama than your mama with enough bad attitude to make the food court cry.

• The death rock feeling of past Clockcleaner releases has been moved into a laborious howl at the moon. Look out for the release of their classic record “Nevermind” on Fan Death Records in October 2010.

• The band was the winner of the most hated band in Philadelphia

• Past tours of the US and Australia have solidified the bands international reputation
