Welcome to Glitch. A messy love letter to Myspace, bootlegs, pixel fonts and the internet trash that raised us. DIY rave energy. Early internet aesthetics. It's Myspace x Tiktok. No rules, just 2000's nostalgia and a bit of brat.

CLAMM are gearing up for their largest Australian tour to date this August, in celebration of their highly anticipated new album Serious Acts – out Friday 5th May via Meat Machine Records.

Following the release of their 2024 EP, Disembodiment, and a run of sold-out shows across Australia and Europe, the Naarm/Melbourne trio have solidified their place as one of the most intense (and loud) live acts in the country. Known for their uncompromising sound and razor-sharp intensity, CLAMM has shared stages with the likes of Amyl & The Sniffers, King Gizzard, and Ty Segall, and torn up festivals including Meredith, Wide Awake (UK), and Binic Folk & Blues (FR).

Side Quest Season is in full effect! It's the final boss fight - and everyone's invited.

To celebrate the 1st Kings Quest - We're taking over Waywards at the Bank in Newtown for a night of live music, organised chaos & side quests.

Grab your mates & have a singalong with Pizza Boys & friends, get funky with BLOKBSTR's boogie DJ set, and bring it home for a late-night two-step & shape-cut with IACONIC.

Good mates, high vibes, free merch & cheap drinks.

All profits donated to Support Act Charity.
