awe damn... another band that has come and gone through the annals of the new england loud rock scene.
It seems like only yesterday when I first saw them in albany, playing the goratory CD release party. that date was feb. 13 2004.
by that point, clitorture had been together in it's current form for a while.
they started back in 2000 with ryan and dusty (ex. traumaside).
things really started to cook when they added crow to the line-up on vocals.
since then, they've been playing shows all over NY/CT/MA/RI. I know that whenever they came to mass, they got a great response from the crowd.
They even split a set on RTTP in Nov 2004 with mucopus.
With only the three members to write with, their music should be simple enough, but there we no gaps anywhere. Ryan filled their
sound with his one guitar. Also, dustin had his bass-boom to accentuate his kit.
I'm actually glad that I'm not a drummer with one of those things cause I would drop the bass over and over.
if you check out the clitorture website, it might get your hopes up:
"...
expect to hear more from clitorture as plans are currently in the works for a tour in late spring 2005."
unfortunately, with 1 full length release and a split with mucopus about to come out, that "more" was then breaking up. dusty is
moving on and ryan/crow aren't going to continue with out him. sad news, but you can always listen to the MP3s on this site to cure your blues.
they played their last New England show on 6/17/2005
ending in a blaze of horns.
