The Spiel
The Clause deliver a sound that’s unmistakably their own. Massive choruses, gritty guitars, thunderous riffs, and a live chemistry that hits just as hard in an intimate 400-capacity venue as it does to thousands in a field. With radio plays across BBC Radio 1, live sessions at Radio X, and main stage festival appearances at the Isle of Wight and Y-Not festival, the Brummie-band continue to break barriers, redefining what is possible for an independent act. Known for their DIY ethos and riotous live shows, their debut album victim of a casual thing (October 2025) debuted at #8 on the official UK albums chart, and claimed the band a #1 independent album chart trophy. Without a label, major management, or industry backing, the band have sold 16,000+ tickets across the UK and Europe in just six months, including a historic sold-out headline show at Birmingham’s 3,000 capacity O2 academy – the cities first homegrown act to ever do so independently.
