CLAMM - "Beseech Me" | Album Review

CLAMM emerged like a shattering force on the Melbourne music scene, almost unexpectedly, last year. Band members Jack Summers and Miles Harding were part of other notable local bands - Gamjee and Dragoons - and the CLAMM project was initially meant as a mere exercise to work on a heavier sound than those other outfits afforded. Such was the success of the experimentation, however, that we now have one of the strongest recent records to come from that city in Beseech Me. It’s heavy, certainly, but the righteousness sound is underpinned by a steadfast thoughtfulness; CLAMM belong to that new category of punk, all self-aware and considered.
