Clinic Are Rad In Their Consistency

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) May 12, 2008 1:00 pm
I inherently distrust anything or anyone in a mask, whether it be face paint, a rubber Richard Nixon mask like the one Patrick Swayze wore in the cinematic masterpiece Point Break, or the surgical masks Liverpudlian quartet Clinic don at every show and in every press photo. Not coincidentally, this distrust and fear are the reasons I'll never...

Clinic are like that friend you know who never changes so much as a pair of underwear. You might like that friend a lot, but when you ask how they are, the answer is always, "Same old."

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) January 12, 2011 4:56 pm

Imagine that gum turned into some kind of balloon and sent her - yes, a her here - flying high as a kite. Meanwhile, there are flying toadstools, smiling and dancing cobs of corn and candy houses. This kind of makes Clinic's video for...

Clinic: Human Or Animal?

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) May 1, 2007 11:30 am
Liverpool quartet Clinic know a thing or two about adversity. Four albums into their career, they find themselves in an unenviable position — nothing they do seems to satisfy the music press. Perhaps their elusive lyrics and cryptic song titles are responsible. Maybe it's the fact that their sound is so distinct that it's impossible to draw...

While it's true that Liverpool's favourite masked quartet, Clinic, recently had a show cancelled amidst protest at a London college, singer Ade Blackburn isn't convinced that the students are at fault.

Central St. Martins College Of Art And Design has an alumni list that includes Jarvis Cocker, M.I.A., PJ Harvey and The Clash's Paul Simonon, but that hasn't stopped the students at the London, U.K. school from being utterly lame.

Clinic, the best British band to constantly wear surgical masks, will make doctor-like Visitations on Oct. 10 when their new album will be released by Domino Records.
