A heavy metal band from Florida, formed in 2004, signed, debut album released in 2008 and less than 20 years old.

Oh, my … GOD!!! I can’t believe it, but finally my dream can become a reality. I will visit one of shinedown concerts. They belong to one of my favorite music bands. Their music is enchanting and I can’t get enough of it for already 7 years. Do you understand what I am talking about?

Clutch is a widely disputed band. Most consider it to be the main stoner rock band, other think it is not stoner at all, but most agree – they are great. They have everything a stoner band needs, groovy zeppelin influenced riffs, great drum-bass combo and vocals reminiscent of deserts, muscle cars and good old Tennessee whiskey.

Started with hardcore they later switched to stoner rock influenced by funk and southern rock and of course the mighty Sabbath and zeppelin. It is hard to decide what album is their best still I think their 2004 work ‘Blast Tyrant’ is their best work so far. It is exactly the best thing between the rude old hardcore influenced Clutch and the post 2004 more progressive clutch, which of course lost some of the groove to complexity.

Starting with the bass hook of Prophets Of Doom they start a desert ride of one of the best stoner rock plates ever made. The Mob Goes Wild is way too fast for stoner rock but it is the main ‘never to be top ten’ mainstream hit of this plate. The album is spectacular, till the last note of the ending English Pounds instrumental (very similar to some stuff Led Zeppelin).
