Clutch August 26, 2007

Mixing funk influences with equal parts of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Maryland's Clutch has created a unique, contemporary metal sound. Backyard Tire Fire, who emerge from a fertile Midwest music scene that's introduced America to some of its greatest new rock bands over the last decade, fully embrace the best characteristics of their generation's genre-bending, influence-melding approach to creating music. The band features Ed Anderson (vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, percussion), Matt Anderson (bass, vocals, percussion) and Tim Kramp (drums, percussion, vocals). Year Long Disaster is a rock band from Los Angeles, California.
