***THE CLENCH***

 

The Clench deliver whiskey-fuelled, blues-swamp-funk-country rock, to put it in a not very small nutshell. The six piece band caused a bit of a stir on the Sheffield live circuit since unleashing their debut EP ‘Pain Don’t Hurt’ which they since followed up with the acclaimed album ‘Walking In The Devils Tracks’. They aim to make ‘music to ride horses by’ and their sound conjures up images of Western desert landscapes and cowboys. They’ve recently released the double A side single ‘Riding Into Nowhere/Maybe Mexico‘.

 

“A brave and uncompromising smirk at cowboy rock – 8/10” Toast Magazine

 

“A band out of time with no place in polite society – 9/10″ Exposed Magazine

 

“Doesn’t so much buck the trend as fit it with spurs and place JR Ewing’s hat on its head.” Sheffield Star

 

“A truly stunning swoon that’d make any red-blooded listener want to canter off into the distance. It’s sexy, sultry and visually evocative. The band’s Western-drenched material is intoxicatingly evocative.” Sheffield Telegraph

 

“Tight as Wrangler jeans with sounds as big as Tennessee, these boys are ones to watch.” The Culture Vulture

***THE FARGO RAILROAD CO.***

 

The Fargo Railroad Co. have gone from strength to strength since forming in 2013 and have steadily built a reputation as one of Sheffield’s hottest live acts. Drawing on a vast range of musical influences, from old school thrash metal to easy listening, jazz to blues, rock & funk to folk, country and bluegrass, they found common ground in the broad and deep ocean of Southern Rock. They recently released their debut album, live recording Sharing The Load, and have a busy summer of festival appearances ahead. All aboard for a journey into the sound of a Texas dive bar.
