Pitchfork & Lost Needles is a Clutch album, released in 2005. The first four tracks are a re-release of the band's 1991 demo 7" Pitchfork. "Nero's Fiddle" is an early incarnation of "High Caliber Consecrator" from 1992's Passive Restraints EP, the title track of which is also included here in demo form.

The album combines the original four tracks from the 1991 Pitchfork 7, along with three unreleased demos, an early unreleased track, and two studio outtakes from Robot Hive/Exodus.


It's really neat to hear tracks from Clutch that I've never heard before(Wicker, Arcadia, Etc.) along with old favs (Bachanall, Passive restraints, etc) and a wink wink from the evolved Clutch(what would a wookie do?, etc). The raw energy on the reissued tracks, really gives a good feel of how intense a live Clutch show is.

Raging guitars, frantic pounding on the drums, and vocals barked out like a madman who just needs to tell you his crazy a$$ story. Even though Clutch has toned down the aggression and vocal effects over the last couple of Albums, they remain unique and diverse as ever. Its great to be able to get a different feel from each Clutch album that I listen to. I can thrash out and bang the steering wheel, stomp my feet to the rythm on the old wash board, or nod my head to the groove and smile, "these guys are the sh#t".

nice early clutch footage

I always enjoyed Neil's early voice more than his later voice. Clutch are one of the most underrated bands in music.




Clutch - Juggernaut


This is one of the baddest tunes ever writen from CLUTCH bar none, in fact one of the baddest tunes writen from any band.

this song crushes!!!

I'm starting to believe they might be the best band ever. At least in the last 20 years. They "get" rock'n roll. And these guys just love to play.
