Melbourne trio Clamm emerged from their city's raucous punk scene, conceptualized first as a side project for even more intense output from members of Gamjee and Dragoons. Before long, the band grew into a full-time endeavor, playing gigs and releasing their full on blasts of heavy, tumultuous punk with 2021 debut full-length Beseech Me. Clamm was formed around 2019 by guitarist/vocalist Jack Summers and drummer Miles Harding. The two were already active in various Melbourne bands, but wanted to explore a heavier sound.
