Somebody’s Child’s self-titled debut album, released in February 2023, was the culmination of years of work. Cian Godfrey had started the project in his native Dublin in 2018 with a series of infectious indie-pop singles that garnered attention both at home in Ireland and across the water in the UK. 

Early support slots with the likes of Primal Scream and Kaiser Chiefs as well as an appearance on The Late Late Show helped to quickly bring SC to the public’s consciousness - and before too long US indie label Frenchkiss Records (The Drums, Passion Pit) came knocking.

The LP was produced by Mikko Gordon (The Smile, IDLES) in London, and featured a handful of fan favourites alongside newly-penned material. Upon its release, it garnered positive reviews from the likes of CLASH, The Irish Times and Hot Press amongst others - notable radio support came from RTE 2FM, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music and NPO 3FM in the Netherlands.

A period of heavy touring followed, taking in high profile festival appearances at SXSW, Best Kept Secret, Truck, Reading & Leeds and BST Hyde Park, two sold out UK tours and opening slots in summer 2024 with The War on Drugs and Bloc Party - all serving to establish Somebody’s Child as a force to be reckoned with the world of indie rock.
 

The Clause are a four-piece from Birmingham who bring together the swagger of the 60s, the rolling groove of the 80s and the riotous verve and attitude of the 90s.  Pearce Macca (front man), Niall Fennell (drummer) Jonny Fyffe (bassist) and Liam Deakin (guitarist) effortlessly combine huge hooks with gritty verses, indie sensibilities, rhythm and blues groove and melodies, to create an altogether different beast. 

The music defies categorisation, rolling seamlessly from crashing percussion to huge, swinging bass. There are epic singalong choruses destined for stadiums and packed festival main stages, and darker, edgier moments evoking late night cruises down dingy back streets. The band have been together since they were kids and they have matured into one of the UK’s most exciting new bands.

The band have hit the road relentlessly with a series of sold out headline tours as well as main supports slots with James, The Lottery Winners, The Reytons, Pigeon Detectives, DMAs, The Enemy and The Snuts.  In 2024 they were main support for the sold-out K’s tour and followed up with their own 15 sold out dates across major cities in the UK, in November and December, including London, Glasgow, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle and a massive homecoming gig in Birmingham.

The boys have played on the main stage of the legendary Isle of Wight festival and have a packed itinerary of festivals throughout 2025 including Tramlines, Truck and many more to be announced.
The band have been featured, to date, on Radio 1, 6, X and XS as well as Soccer AM & Clashmusic. They were also honoured to play on Radio 1’s Big Weekend. Their EP, Weekend Millionaire, recently charted in the Official Album Chart and Official Independent Album Chart.

The Clause have reached No1 in the iTunes rock chart, they have been playlisted by Spotify on Proper Belters and All New Rock, Apple’s New Music Daily and New in Rock, Amazon’s Alt Rated, Deezer’s Hot New Rock and YouTube’s Your New Alternative Playlist. Their recent singles have witnessed significant overall streaming growth with over 9 million streams and 85k monthly listeners now on Spotify alone.
