REVIEWS

TripleW

Clockwork Radio are a talented bunch, as evident by this offering – they make music which is thoughtful and refreshing at the same time and we can’t wait to hear more!

Bearded Magazine:

'Please You' is where MGMT last left off from Oracular Spectaculor, a panoramic landscape of astral fondness whilst staring down on the blue glow of earth as Vampire Weekend provide their experimental jungle beats from the cosmic ether, before landing safely back to earth in a spice rack of Eastern flavoured Stadium Arcadium era RHCP sizzlers ('Desire') and the Frusciante/Hendrix-esque earth smashing, comet rush of 'Soul Harmonic'.

Glasswerk

Manchester-based set of 5 troubadours who originate from various corners of the northern hemisphere come together and collaborate in this musical adventure which not even Baylis could have dreamt up.

Oasis claimed to be the kings of Manchester, others claim to be Mancstars and the rest somehow go between. Clockwork Radio takes the spirit of Manchester wholly and truthfully. They will make you weep tears of joy for a place often treasured, but never missed.

Music-Dash:

Last year’s demo (Feb 2009) was impressive and it looks as though Clockwork Radio have taken their time in developing their sound and style. “Desire” seems like something of a departure from their previous material, as they explore an imaginary collision between the Bob Marley and Pink Floyd. These initial strands of melodic, reggae influenced catchiness are transformed into bouts of semi-prog, on a number that soon hits the six minute mark without ever losing the listener. There’s yet more on this EP too, where further styles are fused and Rich Williams’ vocals continue to fly freely. I’ll be listening to this for some time to come, as well as kicking myself for not seeing this Manchester outfit live in 2010.

that I want to play the whole of their EP on my Radio Slot and feature them here on ’shake’ Four songs of high calibre and a vibe that is akin to the first time I got an EP from a band called Coldplay… Given mor of the right exposure this band could be just as big, sell out major venues and be onthe front cover of major magazines within’ a year… They may not get that, but that won’t stop me from trying.


Please Don’t Stare:

Wow. I got halfway through the first single Please You and had to hook up my soundsystem so I could fully appreciate what was going on. I love when someone emails me something that just messes my head up. Who the fuck is Clockwork Radio? Other than one of my new favorite groups?
