Clawjob (
http://www.clawjob.com) is the result of two guys struggling to cope with the ambiguities and difficulties of life in this total pissbucket of a world. Clawjob specializes in concept albums and ambitious confrontation of major life issues.
Clawjob’s newest release, an EP called Manifest Destiny, is focused on 19th-century American history and totally doing whatever awful thing you want without any regard for the well-being of others. Manifest Destiny is Clawjob’s first release since their 2006 debut full-length album, Space Crackers, a science fiction rock opera that adroitly addresses the complex subjects of love, mortality, science, and ravenous alien assault.
Clawjob formed in 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts. The two members of Clawjob are Mike Gintz, formerly of clickers, and Nick Burgess. The two formerly played Mega Man soundtrack covers as the unimaginatively-named Project X. The live version of Clawjob usually includes various other musicians from the Boston independent music scene, including members of Tristan Da Cunha and Night Rally.
