I had never heard of this band but with some vague "new wave" cover art sucking me in I threw my dollar coin down on the counter anyway. As it turns out "Clocks" perhaps exemplify the best and the worst of the US skinny tie new wave power pop explosion in the wake of "The Knack" and "The Romantics". The big time is "big time" in the US. Why do you think all those English bands try to crack it? If you make it and are wise, you are set …. its a BIG market. Unfortunately if you don't you become the favourite of cultists, music archaeologists and punters who find you in the $1 bin. The market hasn't changed that much in 30 years in the US …there are many, many regional bands who never made it to the national charts but who put out worthwhile music. And you can make a living as a regional band if you have small cities with a million people every 100 miles or so and a lot of bands do. "Clocks" are one of these regional bands who had their shot at the big time.
