Clowwns

Clowwns are a United Kingdom group whose music combines post-punk, seedy glam and art rock. The band features Andrew Claridge on guitar, Etienne Rodes on bass, Damo Waters on drums and Miles Heathfield on vocals.

The group’s songs are described as mixing sharp guitar work with a heavy rhythmic drive and a pop-aware approach, while the lyrics deal with themes such as masculinity, religion and evil. Their writing is also linked with literary imagery and a dark theatrical style.

Clowwns are associated with comparisons to Dylan Thomas, Graham Greene, Sparks, Queens of the Stone Age and Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster, reflecting a sound that combines rough-edged rock with surreal and dramatic elements.
