Reviews

The Chicago via Ohio Clerics are a band that once existed as the now broken up New Rob Robbies years ago. Now with a new member they have changed their name to The Clerics, and I like what I hear. This four song 7" released on a small, but great Chicago label, roostercow records is what is needed on a harsh day. With three guitarists all sharing the duties with melody, rhythm and the low-end as Robbie keeps the beat tight. In many ways I suppose they compare to other bands, but this style of laid-down sound, jangly guitars with vocals that at times resembles a teetering Elvis Costello on downers with heart seems to have it on their own. Can't wait to hear more from these guys. (CRIMEWAVE MAGAZINE)

Swoozy, woozy lo-fi gold! (ROOSTER COW)

I am not a religious person, but I believe in The Clerics. They're peachy, not preachy. (ANON)

It is easy to be a clerics fan . The songs are fresh while staying classic. And it is very doable and cheap to attend all of their gigs (4 in 5 years). (CHUCK NESBITT)

Dunc would rather strap a rucksack to his back and blow himself up than listen to The Clerics ever again. (DUNC THE PUNK)
