It All Works Out In The End

All voices are mine, taken from home videos of me from two weeks to nine years old. 

No Scholar (home video edition)

Shooting Through

Break The Fall

Strange Torpedo

ABOUT THE SONG: Danny and I are constantly buying gear. I bought this tiny 5w Kay amp off Ebay, and to my surprise the amp had this massive crunchy guitar sound. So we started writing some songs that tried to tap into our nostalgic middle school pop punk days. We matched it up with the Alesis HR-16, the New Order drum sound. I sorta feel like this song took us in a new direction from 'Golden Year,' still fun but does the summery feel in a new way. 

LYRICS: 
take another inch off 
it’s all for a good cause 
swept into a pile on the floor 

sure, we never have much 
that’s been the intention 
always leave them thirsting for more 

forgive me, I’ll never love again 
it takes awhile for sad sacks to fit in 

sweating as she trots out 
looking kinda hot now 
hows it gonna benefit me? 

set your mind on lockdown 
wait for them to dropout 
swoop in if it feels meant to be 

setting yourself up to fall 
is better than not trying at all 
always looking out for more 
saw you write your name on the door

Somebody

The Live Demo

Hear the Voices

Don't Tell Me Lies

vaya con dios, bra

beautiful s*n in the gloom of home 
rearranging each one of her chromosomes 
1010001100 
perfect specimen 

coming undone at the seams and stoned 
still she rides to the sun 
wild west hero 

i know 
i know 
another night alone 
round a blazing fire 

oh no 
oh no 
where'd everybody go? 
guess i'll let you know 

oh no 
i know 
another night alone 
stay as cool as you are

Beautiful Son

In their early days, The Clews Brothers were originally known as CrypticClews and then The Carmichaels. 
Around 1985 they produced a number of demos that attracted interest from major record labels and also got played on local radio.
Fast forward a number of years, and after a later spell in Glasgow bands including Pure Red Iguanas, Carbon 14, The Futureins and The Shards, it became clear that both Billy and Michael wanted to start writing and recording their own songs again.
As a result, The Clews Brothers reformed in 2016.
Since then, they are delighted to have released five home-produced albums in the usual formats such as Spotify, Bandcamp and iTunes:
Colours Must Fade (2018); Move Along (2022); Blue Symphony (2023); Lost in The Mists of Time (2024); and Busy Doing Nothing (2025). 
A selection of songs from those albums can also be listened to here on SoundCloud.
In some respects, the songs are a breath of fresh air as they have a home recorded charm with slightly rough edges here and there.
The approach to the music is that it is more important to get new songs heard rather than being held back by worrying about achieving top-of-the-range production values.
Hopefully you will agree with the guys that it is better to achieve an acceptable state of imperfection rather than being overly polished for the latest playlist.
We certainly think so!
Watch this space, more to follow in the near future......
You might also catch us live from time to time. The live set-up is Billy Clews(bass/vocals), Michael Clews (guitar/vocals), Joe Leonard (guitar/vocals) and Billy Purdie on Drums.
