a royal clark

Recorded beneath the southern Wisconsin blizzards and thunderstorms of early 2008, a royal clark's debut self titled album was the six-month conversation between five abandoned songwriters, all from various mid-western rock bands since the late 90's, about dying, flooded main streets, and mixed-up plans. The resulting compilation became a musical report on the scenes of small town wanderings and maturing rock n' roll ways. The members of a royal clark originally intended to be each others "back-up" band for a collection of solo material. The experiences started getting interesting and the atmosphere in the studio was great, so everyone decided to drop the "project" and just become a band.
