Heres what some people have had to say:
Heres what Chris Priseman of Riotzine had to say:
"...for the majority of what I have heard I was all for calling them one of the best bands I have reviewed so far this year...
..I loved the way their songs flowed and sounded, full of energy and the right stuff (ok its hard to define but go with it). The mix works really well in my opinion...
...All in all the I like The Clarity, they make great energetic and interesting music with an underlying political tone which to me makes them worth listening to time and time again."
4.5 stars
Chris Priseman @ Riotzine
"The Clarity were the first band on tonight and my first reaction is that this band's recordings don't do them justice. In general they have an eclectic sound which steals from many genres and fuses them all together in pretty interesting package. It's early days for The Clarity, but if their on stage banter is anything to go by, this band will just get better and better as their confidence grows."
Bones @ Wicked Boy Promotions
“The Clarity are a top rockin’ band with the best band attitude I have come across - other bands take note! These boys will do well.”

Tim and Alex first met in October 2003, during a secondary school science lesson. After some time, they eventually got together in the music room, and just did some very disorganised jamming sessions. They continued to play away for about 6 months, with limited success.
Eventually they got their first break and were asked to perform a song for the school's Christmas concert. With Alex playing bass, Tim on drums, and a guy called Steve on guitar, they managed to throw a song together. However it was thrown together around about 5 hours before they were due on stage.
The band went through a series of bass players and rhythm guitarists and continued to play songs at school events etc.
Eventually the breakthrough came in March 2007, courtesy of Dan from 'Setting The Silence' who had secured a gig at Harriet Costello College in July, and 'The Clarity' had been shortlisted (a very short list of 1) to play with them. The band confirmed, on the proviso that they could get a bass player in time. Tim returned with Chris Beattie, a friend from work, and over 3 weeks, they got their heads down, practiced hard, and when the time came, they were ready. Well, almost.
On 14th July 2007, the band played their first live gig, to a crowd of just short of 100 people at Costello College, Basingstoke alongside 'Setting The Silence.' The gig was a success, despite Chris' best efforts to ruin their plans, by having his bass, which has active pickups, with a dead 9V. So after some rushing round before show time, the gig went ahead.
Since then, the band have continued to play gigs, both in Basingstoke and Southampton and will be gigging this summer across the south of England, including a September tour with Flyright (www.myspace.com/flyrightuk).
In August 2008, the band released their 6 track 'We'll Have The Last Laugh' EP. Its available now, for just £3. A limited amount of T-Shirts are still available, priced at just £6.50. Get both for £8.50. For more info, leave a message.
