The Clinch - Journeyman

   


  The Clinch (https://www.facebook.com/theclinchofficial) are a street punk/oi band from Melbourne who featured on here back in 2020 with the title track to their Basecamp album (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/03/the-clinch-basecamp.html). 

  I wrote at the time "The album contains 11 catchy, anthemic singalongs. Gritty vocals stand out nice and clear over instruments that are played with gusto by a band that have clearly honed their skills supporting the likes of Cockney Rejects, SLF, The Exploited etc..." and going of the evidence of their new single, it's a skill that hasn't deserted them.

  The single is the second one to be taken from their upcoming album, Times Up (the first was called Melbourne (https://open.spotify.com/album/5A0uaLAvV2QJqAnvpMtSiY). 

  The album will be released in July by Sunny Bastards. 

    Accompanied with a rather nice boxing video, this is Journeyman...
