Clutch Announce North American Tour for Fall
What, you didn’t think Clutch were going to tour to support their new album? Did they ever really stop touring to support the last one? Or the one before that? They barely take a break at this point to record, so yeah, obviously they’re announcing a new tour. They finished the last one. Time for the next one.
My only question is where Sevendust came from on this bill. Even when I think it, I’ll very rarely go all out and say a band sucks, but I’ve never been a Sevendust fan, even during their late-’90s commercial radio peak, and I liked some really shitty stuff when I was in high school. Some good stuff, but yeah, some really shitty stuff too. Never Sevendust though.
I guess Clutch are keeping it eclectic, which is admirable in a way, but I’ll be super-duper-curious to see the crowd for this one. Info comes from the PR wire:

Eh, the Sevendust thing doesn’t surprise me. A large contingent of Clutch’s fanbase are dudebros into “golden” era of late-90s/Early-00s rap rock.
They still come out in force to Clutch shows around the Midwest, just waiting for the band to play Binge and Purge so they can start a pit and starting throwing fists/elbows/feet at people.
