Clowns Ink International Deal With Influential Punk Label Fat Wreck Chords
Huge news.
Clowns have today shared that they'll soon be dropping a brand new album and that it's to be released on the Fat Wreck Chords label, making them one of the few Aussie acts to ever be signed to the influential punk label.
Locally the Melbourne five-piece will release the album, their fourth titled Nature/Nurture, locally by their own, newly-launched label Damaged.
"Clowns have been a fiercely DIY band from day dot," says singer Stevie Williams.
"We wanna set an example to other Aussie punk musos that if you want to play in a band, you can still just siphon the petrol from your neighbours car, drive ten hours up the road to a gig with no accommodation, somehow make it work along the way and even though it might take you a few years, eventually you’ll get to where you want to be.
"We drive our own tour van, we book our own shows, we do our own illegal poster runs and now we release our own records. Thanks to everyone who continues to support our little DIY punk homages."
In celebration of the album, the group are also releasing their own bottle of hot sauce, dubbed May I Be Extinguished?, which is only available with the pre-order of Nature/Nurture.
The album is set for release on 12 April, head here to find out more info.
