History

Early years: 1990-1999

Clutch formed in 1990 by Dan Maines (bass), Jean Paul Gaster (drums), Tim Sult (guitar) and Roger Smalls a.k.a "Peanut" (Vocals) and built a local following through constant live performances. At one show Raj "Peanut" Smalls couldn't make it so Neil Fallon, a back up singer, sang lead and got put up as their lead singer. Following the initial 7" single release of "Passive Restraints" on the Earache label, Clutch was signed by the EastWest Records label. The debut LP, Transnational Speedway League, was released in 1993. It was followed by a self-titled album two years later that afforded Clutch mainstream exposure. The band moved to the larger Columbia label for 1998's The Elephant Riders release.

Chart success: 2000-2008

Pure Rock Fury appeared in 2001 on the Atlantic label. The title track was initially released as the first single. The program director for North Carolina rock station, WXQR (Rock 105), Brian Rickman, suggested that the label switch singles to another track from the album, "Careful with that Mic". Atlantic did so, and Clutch was afforded a surprise hit single. The follow-up tracks, "Immortal" and "Open Up the Border" were also well-received by American rock stations.

Bio | Hellyeah is an American heavy metal supergroup, consisting of Mudvayne vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett, Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell, Damageplan bassist Bob Zilla, and former Pantera, Rebel Meets Rebel and Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul. The idea to form a supergroup originated in 2001 on the Tattoo the Earth tour, although plans were constantly put on hold due to scheduling conflicts. The summer of 2006 allowed the band to take the project seriously and record its first album. During an interview for the January 2009 issue of Revolver magazine, Vocalist Chad Gray revealed there may be hint of Hellyeah in the forthcoming Mudvayne album, with a tentative release date of 2009.
