It’s been many years of hard graft in the making, but now Birmingham indie band The Clause have unveiled details of their highly anticipated debut album.
“Victim of a Casual Thing” will be released on October 17th, and news of a tour soon followed.
A winter headline UK tour will follow the album release, with stops in Hull, Newcastle, Sheffield, Glasgow, and Manchester, before a huge homecoming show at Birmingham’s O2 Academy on December 19th.
The Clause were just sixteen-years-old when they recorded their first demo, and early tracks such as ‘Sixteen’ and ‘In My Element’ oozed raw indie talent and set the foundations for success.
Two EPs would follow, and now the big one is just around the corner…
Frontman, Pearce Macca commented: “This record is soaked in the culture of growing up in the UK. It carries the echoes of wild nights and fragile mornings, broken relationships and faded ambitions. There’s no pretence here—just four young heads trying to make sense of it all. This is the sound of feeling lost and insignificant in a city that doesn’t slow down, and the fight to rise above it. The emotion is real, raw, and loud.
“The title speaks for itself. It’s about all the ways life can quietly pull you off course without warning. Falling into jobs that were never meant to last. Flings that leave something lasting behind. Expectations shaping who we’re meant to be before we even get a say. Growing up where dreams are easy to laugh at but hard to live out. And yet, we’re right here, in our mould – and that’s okay. That’s something to be proud of. Because it’s ours. In the whirlwind of it all, maybe we don’t realise how lucky we are to be here. This record is the soundtrack of four mates growing up together, turning chaos into chords.”
‘Victim Of A Casual Thing’ is now available to pre-order HERE.
The album will be released on vinyl, CD, cassette and digital download/streaming formats.
