Adam,

Am I thinking of the wrong band, or did Clutch start out  as basically 
from the DC area, and played basically hardcore on their EP,  but, like 
you said, got tired of it, and became a kind of bizarre take on  redneck 
rock? In other words, their first and harder to find EP was more  or less 
straight hardcore. Some of the tracks on _Transnational SPeedway  
Anthems_ have a rhythmic component that reminds me of Jesus Lizard or  
something (but not the vocals). I might be getting the 1st EP thing  
mixed up with someone else.

This is correct- They were somewhat cookie cutter suburban hardcore kids  
when I knew them (pre and beginning Clutch).
 There first EP I do recall was pretty much hardcore.
At some point I remember hearing they moved to Harpers Ferry West Virginia  
(a little more then an hour from where we live) bought some old house and were  
getting into the civil war "scene" and all the memorabilia. Harpers Ferry  
was a civil war town- Then that seemed to morph into "Redneck" and whatever they 
 are doing now...
