Clobber - Karens, Gammons, Hippies & Conspiracies

  

Buckle up… it’s clobbering time!

  

  Can I recommend you all have a listen to this week's Just Some Punk Songs show (today at 8pm UK time https://www.facebook.com/events/1093166834816214/). 24 songs by 24 bands, 14 who have never featured before. If you're looking for a show that concentrates on new punk music you'll struggle to find better. 

  One of those bands making their debut are Clobber (https://www.facebook.com/Clobber.uk). They're a hardcore punk quartet from London who've just released a debut ep titled Tribal Rites of the New Friday Night. It's a rip roaring introduction to a very promising outfit who I'm sure you'll be mightily impressed with.

   It's opinionated; it asks what's wrong with the world today. It then provides an answer, the world's gone mental. As the band say, "The world around us has Irreversibly, devastatingly and unrecognisably changed, we have endured so much from a party who show no consideration for the working class and left us to die while they partied. They gutted the hallowed halls where we cut loose and spent our youth for fancy towers and railroads and they continue to laugh at us from the top of the hill and we won’t take this lying down. We too have changed as people, we’re stronger, more unified and together we can conquer anything, these are the Tribal Rites of the New Friday Night."

  The ep barrels along at a breakneck pace, it's heavy but doesn't forget to anchor that hard hitting sound with a modicum of melody. If I was going to make a comparison I'd maybe say Clobber (on this release) are in the same ball park as Crown Court.

  "This song is the culmination of watching the news all over the world in 2020. It’s about how many people stood by and watched the world suffer and somehow made it all about them. How people would conjure ghost stories and excuses to excuse their deep seeded prejudices while people literally took to their streets in a desperate attempt to stand up for basic human rights."  It's called Karens, Gammons, Hippies & Conspiracies...

What is wrong with the world today? All you silly mugs got to have your say, your inability to see another view, its only fucking gospel if it comes from you.

Karens, gammons, hippies and conspiracies, statues, masks, blaming 5G and PC.

Painting a target on your head, convinced a minority wants you dead, it ain't about you, it never was, you just want a word in just because...
