..Clayborn is a rockband from the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Their supercharged energetic shows, brimfull of high-octane rock 'n roll bravado has been shaking the foundations of the Dutch live scene since 2003. After releasing two successfull EP records they now unleash their first full-length album entitled: «Every Dog Has Its Day» upon the world.
Confronting, energetic and sensitive; The band explores the boundries of contemporary rock. This band is passionate, expressive and aggressive, boasting the explicit lyrics of she-devil Crazy Jane, the grit and dissonance of guitarist Kurt Amat and a ballsy rhythmsection personified by bassplayer Rogier Drinkenburg and drummer Wouter "Wally" van Wijk (Stöma / Doodoo’s Coffee). The album «EDHID» has everything that might be expected from these headstrong Rotterdam rockers: Steaming rock with a touch of insanity and a hint of erotica; Clayborn is "Neu-Rock-Tica".
