[kj] . . Clutch/Homies

[GREG SLAWSON]

Yeah, but Harper's Ferry was also where the great armed, multi-racial attack on the slavery was held, led by super-great abolitionist John Brown...(the event that directly led to the Civil War)

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.-Oliver

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...
