KLAMP

• More wows from Wandering Oak here  •

KLAMP is a formidable musical collective with members scattered across the UK and 
the Netherlands. This group, now comprising seven members, has its roots in a trio that 
expanded over the past four years. The current lineup includes both current and former members of notable bands such as IDLES, Sex Swing, Tall Ships, Manatees, Do Me Bad Things, Pulled Apart By Horses, Petbrick and Mugstar. This diverse musical heritage infuses KLAMP’s sound with a rich mix of influences and sounds.

Since their raw and antagonistic 2020 release “Hate You” on God Unknown, KLAMP has 
undergone a significant transformation. The 2025 incarnation of the band presents a vastly evolved force. Their latest album, “TOTAAL TECHNIEK,” released on Human Worth, is a 
testament to their artistic growth and exploration. The album traverses a broad range of genres, seamlessly blending elements of Krautrock, Breakcore, Industrial, and Post Punk. Each track is a new journey, characterized by an innovative sound and intricate musical textures.

A key aspect of KLAMP’s evolution has been their ever-expanding roster of collaborators. 
The original lineup of Jason Stoll (Sex Swing / Mugstar / JAAW), Lee Vincent (Pulled Apart 
by Horses) and Greg Wynne (Manatees) have been joined by Adam Devonshire (IDLES), 
Matthew Parker (Tall Ships), Rachael Morrison and Wayne Adams (Petbrick / Big Lad) along with other collaborators, helping to develop the sound into a new space both beautiful and bleak, harsh and euphoric – sometimes all at once. This openness to collaboration has infused their music with fresh ideas and new energy, ensuring that no two performances or recordings are ever the same. Their live shows are particularly notable for their intensity and unpredictability, offering audiences a mind-bending lesson in musical exploration and emotional depth.

In essence, KLAMP is not just a band but a continually evolving collective that pushes the  boundaries of music. Their journey from a three-piece to an innovative seven-piece ensemble, making them one of the most exciting and unpredictable acts on the scene today.
