CLAMM are gearing up for their largest Australian tour to date this August, in celebration of their highly anticipated new album Serious Acts – out Friday 5th May via Meat Machine Records. Following the release of their 2024 EP, Disembodiment, and a run of sold-out shows across Australia and Europe, the Naarm/Melbourne trio have solidified their place as one of the most intense (and loud) live acts in the country. Known for their uncompromising sound and razor-sharp intensity, CLAMM has shared stages with the likes of Amyl & The Sniffers, King Gizzard, and Ty Segall, and torn up festivals including Meredith, Wide Awake (UK), and Binic Folk & Blues (FR). Featuring new single 'And I Try', Serious Acts pushes CLAMM even further into uncharted sonic territory—this is CLAMM at their most untamed and unapologetic.
