This marked a decade together and they were ready to move forward creating new material for the next album. However, it turned out to be quite a journey. […] More
What the heck is in the water in Ireland right now? The number of top-class bands coming out of the island of Ireland is extraordinary. The Clockworks moved from their hometown of Galway to London in 2019. They sent Alan McGee a message on Instagram saying “McGee: We’re the punk rock version of The Streets”. […] More
