Currently on tour in the UK, Leeds based quartet 'Clay', have combined synth and indie guitar to an impressively modern capsulate, and arrested the attention of underground talent enthusiasts, a rapidly growing fanbase and Zane Lowe alike. These guys certainly don't come forth with any boxed in sounds or genre rules, and lends to them coming up hot on heels of Radio 1 favorites 'Bastille', daring a slight flirt with some of 'The Weekend's sound, and perhaps even painting with a stroke of indie laden 'Years and Years'; needless to say it's no wonder Clay are already seen themselves selling out hometown shows and sub-headlining several BBC showcases and other festivals across England.

What Clay has to offer positively vibrates with the currency of modern culture interests, and blooms right near the epicenter of this years hottest sound garden, whilst still holding potential to evolve with the seasons of such. They most certainly have their finger on the pulse of the UK radio wave.

Clay is the product of a lyrical bond between brothers Jack and Joe Harvey, who recruited bassist Rob Gration and drummer Danny Armitage to join the pack, before putting solidarity to their dreams and backlog of musical doodling.

The band have already received impressive critical acclaim despite having only a few releases under their belt. Their latest release stands as their single '6AM', accompanied by an thoughtfully chronicled and professional video.
