Clamb/Feep/Ohm Foam

CLAMB was born out of a Dadaist desire to create music free from societal norms of perfection. They dig deep into the groove of soulful American music from the infinite James Brown and Alice Coltrane to the aether of seventies European krautrock pioneers like Cluster and Harmonia to patiently sketch foreign landscapes from the ground up. Clamb are devoted to keeping an attitude of acceptance in their largely-improvised songs, choosing a direction and exploring its corners and nuances to tell stories without words.

Clamb's tonal palette features Peter Danilchuk’s synths blissfully wiggling through the air, Jameson Stewart’s mythical gold-glitter-encrusted fretless bass sending terrestrial energy rippling through a rogue’s gallery of cheap pedals, Joshua Merhar’s playful drumming that constantly eggs the band onward to new hemispheres of groove, and in 2022 Clamb introduced guitar hero and best friend Sam Crawford whose tonal character and improvisational voice have propelled the band’s ensemble playing further into the fever-dream-realm than ever expected. Clamb hopes they have cornered the market on the Venn diagram intersection of 60s psych nerds raised on Soft Machine Volume 2 and their kids who have spent the past decade gorging on Brainfeeder and Meshuggah. It is Clamb’s distinct wish that each performance function as a Polaroid of the exact moment of its creation, never to be repeated quite the same way ever again, remaining both pensive yet hard-grooving all the same.

Ohm Foam is instrumental psych rock from the depths of space, channeled through three humans from earth: Charlie Gargano (guitar), Renee Goudreau (bass), and Billy Leva (drums). The trio combines cosmic guitar melodies with mountain-quaking bass and drum grooves, and integrates significant improvisation into their song structures. “Their music ranges from heavy progressive rock to chill, groovy psychedelic, and they list Khruangbin, early Pink Floyd, and Radiohead as influences. With hard rock-inspired riffs and expansive soundscapes constructed from guitar loops, Ohm Foam’s music invites you to climb aboard and hang on for the journey.” - Jeff Williams, Sound of Boston

Ohm Foam

FEEP is a Boston psych rock anomaly, newly reassembled and humming at a higher voltage. This latest incarnation sheds its former skin in favor of something stranger and more kinetic—songs that twitch, fracture, and bloom.

Built on warped grooves, spectral textures, and a quiet sense of unease, their sound feels less like performance and more like transmission—something intercepted mid-flight, distorted but deliberate. There’s energy here, but it’s not reckless; it coils, it waits, it watches.
