Scott Lewis (founder of Clue Records) said, “Finding new artists to enjoy and fall in love with is one of the main reasons Clue was started. We’ve created Clue Club so we can do this with a small group of people, matching ace bands with artistic visions to create something fun and exciting. A zine allows the bands and artists to show a different dimension to their music and themselves.”
The contents of the zine will vary from month to month, with the featured band contributing articles and pieces of interest alongside guest artists/poets/groups/activists/bloggers. These will include:
- Girls Against – a group of intersectional feminists standing up against sexual harassment and assault within live music https://www.facebook.com/girlsagainstgroping
- Bloc – an anti-austerity, forward-thinking online space who aim to instigate debate and get people thinking about current issues. https://www.facebook.com/blocuk
- Tommings – A Leeds based artist who is gaining attention for his bold and eccentric designs. https://www.facebook.com/iamtommings
The bands
Team Picture
A fuzzed up, kraut-psych behemoth that have been catching the eyes and ears of the masses in Leeds and further afield.
“The weight behind Team Picture’s fuzz-rock feels like it could batter its way through brickwork” DIY
Fold
Falling somewhere between DJ Shadow, Public Enemy and Public Service Broadcasting, Fold can name Gideon Coe, Lauren Laverne, Craig Charles, Don Letts & Huey Morgan as fans with all 3 regularly spinning tracks by the band on their own BBC 6Music shows.
“A lavish concoction of hip-hop, soul, funk, electronics and more” CLASH
Fighting Caravans
With Leeds and Reading Festivals and several UK and European tours completed in 2016, the alt-blues-psych band will be releasing an EP late in 2017.
“…a hidden secret with gnarly riffs and anthemic vocals” CLASH
Colour Of Spring
Giving shoegaze a shot in the arm with comparisons to the likes of Ride, The Smiths and Lush. Sold out their debut 7” on pre-orders alone.
“It’s not easy for a shoegaze band to stand out, but thankfully Colour Of Spring do just that” NME
SUNFACE
The solo project of TRASH front man Dan Longmore. Songs are recorded in his bedroom, dining room and sometimes living room but never his toilet. He’s had plenty of BBC Radio 1 and Amazing Radio support too.
“A ray of light from a bright new spark” DIY
