About Cliffords
Hailing from the gritty musical landscape of the UK, Cliffords have carved a formidable niche for themselves in the alternative rock scene since their formation in the late 2010s. Comprising frontman and lyricist Liam Thorne (vocals, rhythm guitar), the virtuosic Maya Singh (lead guitar), the unflappable Ben Carter (bass), and the powerhouse behind the kit, Chloe Davies (drums), the band quickly garnered attention with their distinctive blend of melodic hooks and powerful, emotionally charged instrumentation. Their sound is often described as a potent cocktail of early noughties post-punk revivalism mixed with a contemporary indie rock sensibility, drawing comparisons to the dynamic range of Foals and the lyrical depth of Arctic Monkeys.
Their debut album, “Echoes in the Void,” released in 2021, was a critical success, spawning fan favourites like “City Lights Fade” and “The Weight of the World,” which became staples on alternative radio. These tracks showcased Thorne’s evocative storytelling and the band’s tight, intricate arrangements, cementing their reputation as masterful songwriters. Cliffords followed this with their more experimental 2023 offering, “Fractured Horizons,” pushing their sonic boundaries while retaining their signature intensity. Live, they are a force of nature; Liam Thorne’s captivating stage presence, Maya Singh’s intricate guitar work, Ben Carter’s driving basslines, and Chloe Davies’ rhythmic precision combine to create an electrifying spectacle. Their Bristol Strange Brew show promises to be a testament to their evolution and enduring appeal.
