The Clockworks - The Entertainment
Pairing snarling kitchen-sink commentary with insuppressible sonic tenacity, The Clockworks are a band to savour in these dark days.
Formed in Galway City, Ireland the band went to school together there and met Tom Freeman (bass) on the music scene.
Relocating to London in 2019, the quartet signed to Alan McGee's new record label 'Creation23' almost overnight.
They have since impressed audiences across Europe.
The four-piece are drawn together by not only a mutual appreciation of music past and present but also a love of films and books, notably the ones on the more 'noir' side of the spectrum.
You could say Arctic Monkeys got them into a band, The Strokes showed them how tightly you could distil it and Radiohead showed them how wide you could take it.
But these days they're not afraid to also put Billie Eilish and Charlie XCX into that mixture and films from director Fellini to "Drive".
What matters is that, from starting out playing acoustic folk, that turned into 3 minute (post-)punkish songs, they now have expanded a lot from there, taking in all the experience they have now recording and touring.
Pushing the emotion by being authentic and creating what you really want despite the noise and haste around you.
