PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Brighton based Creeping Jean don’t creep up on you, instead they knock you for six, point proven by their latest single called “God Bless Honking Clover”.
Known for their electrifying live performances and groove-laden indie anthems, Creeping Jean deliver more of their gritty, anthemic, psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll this month with their exclusive limited edition Record Store Day 2025 release including two specially recorded tracks Spice Rack and God Bless Honking Clover on The Clothes Shop 7″ out April 12th.
To my ears it’s a groovy grinder par excellence that stomps hard and heavy like Godzilla having a bad day. Lyrics are spat out with verve, but not enough to hold back the luscious melodies, all pinned down by throbbing bass guitar bombast and over the top choruses.
Today marks the digital release of God Bless Honking Clover, the second single on the double-A side release.
What is “God Bless Honking Clover?” The song, out digitally today, is a stonking Jack-White inspired piece of gritty rock’n’roll that oozes cool straight out the vintage clothes store by the sea. “Honking Clover was a mysterious social media profile that interacted with our content, claiming to be the “tiniest man in the world”. After drinking a few too many Spritz in Venice during our tour with the Rival Sons last year, we decided to investigate and it turns out it wasn’t the tiniest man in the world, or even a man. We like the sonority of the username Honking Clover, so God bless that!” explains Creeping Jean guitarist Rod.
Recording both new tracks directly inside “Mammoth” their retro second-hand clothes shop in Brighton on a rainy Sunday last November, using the piles of 70’s clothes and vintage Levi’s as sound insulators worked surprisingly well. Produced & Engineered again by Dan Crook (who also produced last year’s new Creeping Jean album “Business Is Dead”) Crook made the upstairs changing rooms into his production booth. This release is recorded on the highstreet for the highstreet, capturing the raw energy of their music inside the very shop that has helped fund their journey.
