The B.O.O.B. Music Blog: The Clay People - Industrial Overdrive from Albany, New York

TRecently I asked people on facebook what band they'd like to see featured on The BOOB, and someone said STATIC-X!!!! and i was like, "fucking great idea~!"

So... while searching for Static-X videos and stuff, i came across a link that said "Slipknot, Disturbed, Static-X - Awake"... these three powerhouses in ONE song... how could that be!!?! what kind of monster would i find???

And it turns out that the dick who posted that video made a mistake with the name, or he was one hell of a marketeer.

So the band turned out to be one called, The Clay People. And although Static-X rocks massive metallic balls, i'd like to feature The Clay People first. Simply because they're a nice find. But don't worry, Static-X will be on The BOOB very soon!

So Boobies, this time The Booberman brings to you.... The Clay People

Line-up:

Vocals - Daniel Neet

Guitar - John Delehanty

Guitar - Brian McGarvey

Bass - Eric Schwanke

Drums - Dan Dinsmore

Now, i didn't manage to find too much info about this band. But what i can say for sure is that they've been around for quite a while. With their first ever release dating back to 1991 (The Toybox EP). These guys are still around and kickin' it hard, but yes, there has been some musical changes in this band over the years. Some good, some not-so... perhaps.

Ok, here's where i try to describe what this band sounds like.... ok imagine, Korn's most furious style doing a dance of mish mash death with Corey Taylor's (Slipknot) vocals while Static-X's axe riffing styles wreak havoc all over the place.

No idea what it sounds like? Well thank god for the Internet and especially Youtube!

Here's my personal favourite:

The Clay People - Car Bomb

And here's another good one called:

The Clay People - Plug

The Clay People - Awake

Here's a more recent video from The Clay People... but its from 2007, doesn't seem to be anything new after this. Massive change in style, not too sure whether i like it or not... You be your own judge...
