NO matter the circumstances, everyone remembers the first time they see a clawthroat show.  Whittled down from “Captain Clawthroat & Crooked Teeth”, Clawthroat has taken the Twin Cities music scene full steam ahead, born from living room shows and house venues across Minnesota.  Joseph Downing’s Lo-Fi home recordings, tracked in various Twin Cities basements, apartments and bathrooms quickly garnered a following via MySpace and word of mouth nearly three years ago.  Upon assembling the band in early 2007, Clawthroat has maintained a steady local performance schedule as well as having completed two cross-continental tours and an international performance at the 2008 Winnipeg Folk Festival.  Clawthroat’s first studio effort, entitled “Know Yr Roots”, has allowed the band to fall into a category all its own.  Drenched in early folk & Bluegrass roots music and wreckless, high energy punk sentiment, “Know Yr Roots” has proven to be a strong initial statement from Clawthroat, a sound that can only promise bigger and better things to come.
