"This self-released EP is a must for any fan of the mighty Clutch. Album-to-album, this band keeps getting stronger, and "Jam Room" is no exception. Heavy guitar and bass grooves will shake your skull unmercifully, while Neal Fallon's unmistakable, gravel-throated voice is sure to please the most casual Clutch fan.This is music born and raised in the backwoods of Virginia, so don't expect Limp Bizkit or Blink 182, kids. Do you like Monster Magnet? Kyuss? Unida? Queens Of The Stone Age? Transport League? Black Sabbath? Then, chances are you're going to love Clutch. This is dirty, gritty, sandpaper across your teeth, dirt under your fingernails Rock & Roll. This is about the groove and Clutch is the real deal.Do you wanna Rock? Then "Jam Room" is your ultimate guide. This EP's worth every penny. Trust me. Quit overthinking it and proceed to checkout. It's a small price to pay for so much good groove.Also, be sure to check out Clutch's "Elephant Riders." It's one of the best albums released in the 1990's."

It's Clutch...what more do you need?

"This is Clutch's most experimental record top date, and it truly is awesome. It may not be a "refined" as their other releases, but it has a unique feel that the others definitely do not have. In my opinion, though, Clutch is one of the few bands where each release is significantly different from the ones before. It is a short CD at c. 35 minutes, but still worth it by far."

The Band That Can Do No Wrong

"Clutch seems to be one of those bands that have this attitude towards their record labels that's saying "Look, we are going to do whatever the hell we want at all times. You can climb aboard if you feel the need but one way or the other, things are gonna get done.". Unlike a lot of bands that say that publicly but in the end tow the line to keep the suits happy, Clutch plays what the want and do it very well. It seems almost strange to me that "Jam Room almost has better production than their major label releases. Anyway, "Jam Room" is pretty much a straight forward title that lets you know what; this CD is about in no uncertain terms. It's almost like one long song broken up into parts. For thos uninititated, Clutch plays a weird mesh of 70s rock and hardcore that brings to mind influences from all over the musical spectrum. They have fit on stages comfortably with nearly every band they've played with. Neal Fallon has a unique knack for writing lyrics that upon first glance make no sense but once you hear them, you believe that somehow, Neal Fallon knows exactly what he's talking about. It is this blend of 30+ years of rock music coupled with Neal Fallon humorous and strangely insightful lyrics that makes Clutch one of the most unappreciated and inspiring bands to grace a stage since rock's inception. Next time you see a Clutch CD in your record shopping excursion, make a purchase that is worth your while and buy a Clutch CD or 7."
