Fine and sexy readers, Melbourne scuzz punks Clowns have released their new album. It’s called Bad Blood and it was written in the band’s hometown of Cheltenham in a complex that houses a bakery, a cattery and a morgue. Lyrically inspired by their native suburbs, the album was intentionally kept close to home as they wanted it to beat the heart of Melbourne. It is their follow-up to 2013’s I’m Not Right. In other news, the band not too long ago got back from China, and if you check in on their Facebook page you’ll be able to see what kind of adventures they got up to. The Karova, Ballarat – March 8. They will be joined by US stoner-punk outfit American Sharks.
