Is there a better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than seeing Clucth at the House Of Blues in Boston? This is our fourth piece on these guys this year I believe and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s either because a) We really like ’em and think you should too or b) They’re really great and we think you should like ’em. My second time seeing Clutch this year and somewhere in the double digits overall, Clutch never […]

OMG!! People other than Justin Timberlake are releasing new music today!
Clutch, Earth Rocker: The Spin Cycle Review
Calling Clutch’s latest album, Earth Rocker, the best album of their career and hands down the best rawk record of 2013 would at first seem to be a disservice to their peers in the genre who have yet to release albums this year. Then again when it comes to Clutch, genres are a moot point as the sounds this band creates is unparallelled. Take the first track “Earth Rocker” for what it is: a tease. Yeah, it’s great. It’s grandiose. […]
Metal Monday Volume 104 (1.7.13)
As I officially kick off my 2013 concert going year with Quicksand tonight, it’s time to investigate what is sure to be a killer year of heavy releases. Also, if you’ve been following Metal Monday since its’ inception or just happened upon us recently, thanks for reading as we hit two years on Popblerd with today’s post. Here’s to many more! 1. Killswitch Engage: Disarm The Descent (April 2nd) The reunion of Jesse Leach and Adam D on 2011’s masterpiece […]
Clutch, Worcester Palladium, 12.31.12: We Saw It!
I barely go out on New Year’s Eve. I did First Night in Boston like twice and froze my ass off. I’ve been to a bar or two but found them to be a bit overwhelming (Do I really have to pay a cover to a place I visit once a week?!?) and, of course, I’ve stayed in. The one thing I have never done is been to a show on New Year’s Eve so it’s fitting that my first […]
Tim Sult of Clutch: The Popblerd Interview!
One of the most unassuming (and modest) guitar gods you’re likely to meet, Tim Sult took some time before Clutch’s New Year’s Eve extravaganza in Worcester, MA to chat with Popblerd about the bands upcoming album and the best part about being in Clutch today: Why was Worcester the best spot to end your 2012? Pretty much every year since we’ve been a band we’ve done an East Coast run at this time of the year. We never know […]
Metal Monday Volume 103 (12.31.12)
Metal Monday will be spending New Year’s Eve with the love of his life in Worcester, MA of all places. While not as extravagant as Vegas or NYC or some other exotic locale, Worcester is where Maryland’s Clutch will be simultaneously ending their 2012 and beginning their 2013. As luck would have it, I’ll be there to witness the glory (Show review coming later in the week). My love affair with Clutch began after seeing the video for “A Shogun […]
bLISTerd: Happy Anniversary, MTV!: The 50 Best Videos of the ’00s (40-31)
Madonna writhes around in a leotard, Dave Grohl channels Michael Douglas in “Falling Down”, and The White Stripes do “Conan” (in other words, #50-#41) can be found here . Now, here’s the next batch of new millennium video hits! (said in douchey DJ voice) 40. Burning Beard | Clutch (2005) “Burning Beard” by Clutch had me the moment Neil Fallon opened his maw and barked “Everyday/I wake up/Drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN” (He also actually barks later […]
