Our second album “Don’t Believe A Word” was released nationally on May 1st and has been “making the rounds”
-It debuted on the CMJ charts at 148, and went up to 129 so far. they had this to say:
“They’re simply the band you wished were playing your bash. Intuitive with the handclaps, messy with the cymbals and clockwise with the volume knobs,”
Eric Davidson, CMJ
-Surrender, the closing track was featured as NPR’s song of the day last week:
“The Clutters’ clearly revel in making fun, rebellious and catchy rock songs. When Lehmann announces, “I’m a bat out of hell / and I’m ready to rail” in the middle of “Surrender,” it’s hard not to get onboard, and immediately chime in.”
Lily Percy, NPR - Song of the Day
-Review in The Village Voice
“The Clutters are Nashville’s answer to the Ramones. Their anthems, power-chord punchy and usually dispatched in three minutes or less, are similarly full of choruses memorable if only for their simplicity.”
Michael Hoinski, Village Voice
-And Blender
“The music has a fearless, untamed energy that shames most of their too–cool–for–rock–school, retro contemporaries.”
David Browne, Blender
