Clinic

Clinic have managed to keep their music (and themselves) shrouded in mystery for decades—and the surgical masks they’ve long donned onstage is just the tip of it.

With a loose foundation in vintage garage rock and punk, the Liverpool band has continued to lean into their most experimental tendencies.

Vocalist Ade Blackburn and guitarist Jonathan Hartley first started playing together as kids back in 1984, but it wasn't until 1997 that they formally launched Clinic.
