News, Tour Dates:  Clutch, The Company Band

New Clutch Tour Dates, New Music From Clutch & The Company Band on the Way

By Skwerl

Clutch, one of Antiquiet’s dear favorite bands, have a bunch of nice things lined up on the horizon.

While currently playing shows with Hellyeah, Clutch has just released dates for a headlining tour with Prong and Lionize supporting, to kick off July 11th. Dates are below. That tour will be followed by festival appearances in Europe, including Sonisphere in Span, and Peace And Love in Sweden. European fans also have double LP vinyl reissues to look forward to, starting with Blast Tyrant on May 25th.

Meanwhile, Clutch is readying a 7″ picture disc single of a brand new track called Pigtown Blues, to be released June 19th. The track is set to premiere on The Rock Show With Daniel P. Carter on BBC/Radio 1, and a digital release is set for June 5th. We’ll have that up here for you to listen to as soon as we lay hands on it.

And in case you’re still only at half-boner, The Company Band has a new EP on the way, entitled Pros And Cons. If’n y’all don’t know, The Company Band is Neil from Clutch, along with James Rota of Fireball Ministry, Jess Margera of CKY, Brad Davis of Fu Manchu, and Dave Bone, of the Bone household. We reviewed their debut full-length back in 2009, and loved it hard. Pros And Cons will be available July 31st in all the usual formats as well as a 12″ collectors’ edition vinyl.
