The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Yardbirds, Pretty Things, garage music, the blues, just about any R & B band from 60's Britain, Britpop, and music with grit or soul.
THE CLAMOUR originally formed in 2004 by then guitarist Michael Eng. The members included Gram Gleason, Ryan Watson (Some Days), Michael Eng, and Brian unknown. Soon thereafter, the band went through a shitload of lineup changes that soon included Dave Fox (The Traditional Fools) and others whose names they can't remember. After playing one show, the band dissolved after a fight about how the show went down. The band ended up with Jon Beals on drums, Chris Barfield on bass, Michael Eng on vocals, Collin Whitley on guitar, and Chris Bradley on guitar.
After Chris Barfield left the band in 2005, Ryan Watson took over. The band enjoyed a long stay of gigs until 2007 when the band broke up after a debauchery infested tour to Northern California. When the band broke up, it included then drummer Kevin Kelly who had replaced Jon Beals, Ryan Watson on bass, Chris Bradley (former The Distraction) and Collin Whitley on guitars, Lord Albert ..boards (The Living Sickness and The Chocolate Watchband), and Michael Eng on vocals (The Living Sickness).
