What the label says:

Clocks signed to Island Records in 2007 and have since been writing and recording their debut album with Elliot James (Bloc Party, Fields and Little Man Tate). ‘Old Valve Radio’ is their first single proper on the label released on April 7.

It’s a driving, stomping smash of an indie-pop song replete with big hooks and a big chorus. Serious summer festival sing-alongs surely await this new entrant in the search for the UK’s best new pop-rock boy band.

To complement the bands debut album campaign, they secured two of the best and most sought after artists to design their artwork – Mr Pete Fowler and Mark James (SFA, Magic Numbers, Monsterism, Gruff Rhys) have put pen to paper (or actually paint to wood) and created 12 beautifully and individually cartooned Russian Dolls that will each, in turn, feature on single and album sleeves.

Clocks have been out on tour with One Night Only and shortly embark on a support slot with Scouting For Girls.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
