SPB featured stream: Clockface - s/t

Posted in Records on February 9, 2026

We're back with our first featured stream of 2026, a new 7-song 7" from Clockface out now on Dropping Bombs.

"We made this record hit your ears like a freight train. Heavy, fast, and relentless," the band says. While it runs just over 11 minutes in total, each song stands on its own with pummeling rhythms, throat-shredding vocals and pit fury.
