Frontman Neil Fallon commented on the the recording process for Earth Rocker and how it relates to other CLUTCH albums:
“Last minute overdubs are fun. Harmonicas, tambourines (yes, we use those), claps, the odd backing vocal. Recording can be monotonous, so those unintended moments can be a lot of fun. It’s kind of like kindergarten music class, but with beer. And sometimes the spontaneity of a last ditch idea breathes a lot of life back into a song that we've been beating up for weeks on end. A looming deadline can be a great muse! It has a lot in common with Blast Tyrant in that Machine's production techniques are really unique. It differs from Blast Tyrant and a lot of other CLUTCH records in that, overall, the songs are faster and concise.”When asked about how this record differs from other CLUTCH releases guitarist Tim Sult added:
“As far as the composition of the songs go, this is the heaviest and fastest CLUTCH album to date."CLUTCH takes to the road from Halloween for a quick run of U.S. dates including two stops in Flint, MI and two stops in Detroit, MI. MonstrO will open these shows with Lionize providing direct support. In what has become an annual tradition, CLUTCH will play a string of festive tour dates this December. The dates kick off December 26 in Washington, DC and conclude with a special New Year’s Eve performance in Worcester, MA at The Palladium. Support on these shows will come from Mondo Generator, Saviours and Wino.
