Heavy rock veterans Clutch also made an appearance at SXSW. Touring behind their new album Earth Rocker, Clutch played a storming, forward charging brand of rock. Not so heavy you could call it metal, but also noticeably more forceful than the average hard rock group. The fans present were clearly In heaven behind this one. The audience was fist pumping and singing along everywhere you looked. It’s a wonder that Clutch isn’t a whole franchise in an of themselves they’re so good. This band should at least be theatre big.
