Liverpool's art punk four-piece Clinic
formed in 1997 out of the ashes of Ade Blackburn
and Hartley's previous band, Pure
Morning. The duo added Brian Campbell
and Carl Turney to the fold and
released the thrashy debut single 'IPC Sub-Editors
Dictate Our Youth' on the group's own Aladdin's
Cave of Golf label; it reached number nine in John
Peel's Festive 50 singles roundup that year. 1998 saw the release
of equally well-received singles like 'Cement
Mixer' and 'Monkey on My Back,'
which also showcased Clinic's blend of chugging, Velvet
Underground-style guitars, icy, Suicide-esque
keyboards and drum machines, and Blackburn's acidic, Lennon-esque
vocals. In 1999, the band signed to Domino Records
and released 'The Second Line.' Clinic
began a flurry of activity in 2000, releasing their first album,
"Internal Wrangler," and the singles 'The
Return of Evil Bill' and 'Distortions,'
appearing at Scott Walker's Meltdown and
All Tomorrow's Parties festivals, and
touring with Radiohead. —
