Upset The Rhythm
CLEAR HISTORY - Bad Advice Good People LP
Highly recommended.
Among a batch of stellar Upset The Rhythm releases, this is our favourite. Actually, it's awesome.
With such rapport for the touchstones of danceable post-punk (ESG, Kleenex, Gang of Four) Clear History are proud hi-hat botherers, bounding along with the plummy bassline, joining the dots whilst thinking to the beat. This debut documents the tantalising first sparks from a band intent on holding up a magnifying glass to the sun.
CLEAR HISTORY are a scorching post-punk trio from Berlin who make a big deal out of little things, sometimes vice versa. Their influences include correct grammar, Rihanna & 'The Waiting Room' by Fugazi.
