Clutch frontman, Neil Fallon, speaks with Bonnie Kenaz-Mara for ChiIL Live Shows & talks about how his toddler son inspires his creative work for ChiIL Mama's long running video series on How Creatives Parent & How Parents Create.
Clutch has been one of our favorite, literate alt-metal bands for decades! We own almost all their albums and our kids have grown up belting out Clutch. It was a high point of our year to score an interview with Neil Fallon. He spoke with us about Earth Rocker, beard bands, inspiration, weird lineups, name origins and more. He even contributed to our long running video series on How Creatives Parent & How Parents Create for ChiILMama.com. Thank to the commenter who said "Finally, the interviewer is not an idiot." You made my day! Clutch is getting some main stream acclaim at last. But they're no sell outs. Their new material is intense and as amazing as ever!
