Lazarus Clamp are an English band punk rock band, formed in Leicester in 1994, known for keeping a low profile and for its humorous live performances.[1]

## History

[edit]

The band's debut single "Sea Sore Songs" was released on Amberley/Cleverlegs.[2] The band had other early releases on Bearos Records and Sorted, both Midlands-based.[3][4] The band had a good relationship with the now-defunct Guildford label, Words, and Works Rejected.[5]

Their subsequent singles ("North",[6] "Left-handed",[7] "Some Rivals"[8]) and the band's first two LPs (Such as you are and still not seeming to mind and The more we are the funnier it is[9]) show a wider range of influences.[10] In early 2008, they released a double album, Death to Technicians / It ain't what you do it's what it does to you,[11] described by Drowned in Sound as "wonkily elaborate".[12] In late 2009, they released the Against entitlement LP. This received positive reviews from sources including The Sunday Times and Delusions of Adequacy.[13][14]
