The Clause have will release their much-anticipated debut album ‘Victim Of A Casual Thing’ on 17 October 2025.

The band have defied the odds to break out of the underground and turn their dream of becoming Britain’s next major rock ‘n’ roll band into reality. They band have already achieved remarkable success, including Radio 1 and 6 Music airplay, an iTunes Rock Chart No.1, a set at Radio 1’s Big Weekend, and gigs with the likes of The Reytons, DMA’s and The Snuts.

Pearce Macca (vocals/guitar), Jonny Fyffe (bass) and Niall Fennell (drums) have been friends since school, and completed the band when Pearce met guitarist Liam Deakin at a JAWS show. They were just 16 years old when they recorded their first demo and were soon making waves with early tracks such as ‘Sixteen’ and ‘In My Element’, before their talents and reputation were amplified over the course of two EPs.

Discussing their debut full-length, Pearce commented, “This record is soaked in the culture of growing up in the UK. It carries the echoes of wild nights and fragile mornings, broken relationships and faded ambitions. There’s no pretence here—just four young heads trying to make sense of it all. This is the sound of feeling lost and insignificant in a city that doesn’t slow down, and the fight to rise above it. The emotion is real, raw, and loud.

The title speaks for itself. It’s about all the ways life can quietly pull you off course without warning. Falling into jobs that were never meant to last. Flings that leave something lasting behind. Expectations shaping who we’re meant to be before we even get a say. Growing up where dreams are easy to laugh at but hard to live out. And yet, we’re right here, in our mould – and that’s okay. That’s something to be proud of. Because it’s ours. In the whirlwind of it all, maybe we don’t realise how lucky we are to be here. This record is the soundtrack of four mates growing up together, turning chaos into chords.”

The Clause have also revealed the album’s lead single ‘Nothing’s As It Seems’.
