Clinic will never rest and they will never die, but they will tour the UK this spring

Let’s give a hand for Clinic. They will never die, for this is scientific fact. After a decade, they’re still at it, cranking out new records of distinctive post-punk every few years. Do they still wear those surgical masks? Who cares, it’s about as relevant in 2010 as whether or not Thom Yorke likes them. And, yes, I sort of want to know if he still does, too.

An issue more relevant than surgical masks or the musical tastes of Radiohead members might be the fact that Clinic released Bubblegum, their sixth record, last year on Domino. Even more relevant than that is the news that Clinic will be playing a handful of UK dates this spring. There you shall hear material from the aforementioned Bubblegum, along with the sound of men who will outlive you and laugh over your grave when they day is done. You will also probably hear “Distortions.”
