#1 Album Of The Year 2013 In Metal Hammer UK #2 Album in Classic Rock UK  2013 has been quite a year for Maryland Rockers CLUTCH. In March they released Earth Rocker, their 10th studio album. Earth Rocker was recorded, mixed and produced by Machine (King Crimson, Lamb of God) at The Machine Shop in Belleville, New Jersey. Earth Rocker garnered the band their highest Billboard Chart Number to date and was met with rave reviews and incredible fan reaction worldwide. As the year comes to a close, publications release their annual lists of the best albums, and it should be no surprise that CLUTCH’s Earth Rocker is featured prominently in many of them, both Nationally and Internationally. Metal Hammer UK (one of the premier international metal publications) has named Earth Rocker its #1 Album of 2013. In Classic Rock Magazine’s (UK) poll, Earth Rocker comes in at #2 Album of 2013 only behind the legendary Black Sabbath. Spain’s Rock Zone Magazine named CLUTCH their “Band of the Year”. Sweden’s Close Up Magazine ranked Earth Rocker at #13 in their best albums of 2013 list. Earth Rocker placed highly in the top metal and rock album lists in many other publications and websites including The Village Voice, New Noise Magazine, Metal Sucks, Loudwire, Pop Matters and Noisecreep to name a few. “We are really happy to hear that Earth Rocker has made so many best of 2013 lists. Our shows this past year have been among the biggest and best of our history. The overwhelming response from our fans both old and new has meant the most to us. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2014!” says singer Neil Fallon. In December, between Christmas and New Years, CLUTCH will be back on the road for their traditional holiday shows. Support on the holiday shows will come from Into Another, The Mike Dillon Band and Lionize. Touring will continue in January with dates set from the 2nd Flint, MI. All dates and links to purchase tickets can be found below. The Sword and Crobot will provide support on these dates. February 2014 will see CLUTCH head down under to Australia as they take part in the 2014 Soundwave Festival. In addition to the Soundwave dates, CLUTCH will be playing a handful of headlining Australian shows. These shows are set for February 20th in Brisbane at The Zoo and February 27th in Sydney at The Metro, February in Melbourne at Prince Bandroom.
