Clutch, the band I personally already liked because they’re from Germantown, Maryland, recently conducted an interview with blogcritics.org

“The British rock group’s concert on Oct. 7 at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Catoosa, Okla., near Tulsa, will be its last U.S. date on its 2010 reunion tour, and the show could be the band’s swan song to American fans, said lead singer and co-founder Paul Rodgers.“
