With the release of their debut album this week, an indie band that is widely considered Birmingham’s best band is on track to grow even bigger.
The Clause are made up of Pearce Macca (frontman), Niall Fennell (drummer) Jonny Fyffe (bassist) and Liam Deakin (guitarist) and are a bit of a throwback to the guitar bands of the Nineties.
New LP ‘Victim of a Casual Thing’ is released on Friday and a headline tour follows, but dates playing to thousands in Manchester and Sheffield are already sold out off the back of years winning over fans with live shows. And their homecoming show in Birmingham to 3,000 in December is down to the last few tickets.
Pearce said: “Doing academy 2 in Manchester and the Foundry in Sheffield, selling out a thousand tickets in cities away from our home two months before the tour started is a bit of a weird one.
The first performance we had back from COVID was to 30 people, and we were devastated because we thought it wasn’t where we needed to be. Putting that in perspective, there will be a thousand people in the room to celebrate our debut album a few years later.
The band has been compared to Bloc Party or The Foals for the upcoming generation, but Spotify lists them alongside XFM classics like The Reytons, The Ks, and The Lathums.
The outro riff on the most recent single, Tell Me What You Want, adds Pearce, “The outro riff is a little out there and it ends half-time.” I was like, “Are we permitted to do that?” Is it a little excessive? Then we simply figured, “F**k it, it’s going to go live!” Kasabian and Foals are two of our biggest influences as a band, and we’ve taken the song that route.
On release day, they will continue their in-store tour of record stores in Birmingham, starting with a headline show that month.

Lily Allen has shared a rare comment about Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher after admitting to joining the Mile High Club together. The singer, 40, revealed she watched Liam perform over the summer after he reunited with brother Noel for their huge Oasis reunion shows.
Lily acknowledged she was present at one of their sold-out shows in the UK. In her memoir, she claimed they had a crazy time together while flying to Japan in 2009, and she had previously admitted to spilling on her antics with Liam.
Lily has once more spoken out about the Britpop rocker, even though Liam, 53, has never made a comment on her assertion. Lily criticizes the dual standards used by male and female musicians in a recent interview.

She told Perfect Magazine, “I saw Oasis play on Sunday night and I thought it was f***ing great.” Oasis is my favorite. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of Neil’s incredible songwriter work.
Lily revealed she went to see Lady Gaga the following day at her O2 performance as she admitted the differences were “night and day”. She said as a woman “you have to justify your existence” but men don’t.
She continued, “Liam Gallagher can just sing a song and go “Nice one” with his entire body and people go f***ing mental.” If Lady Gaga didn’t dance and adhered to Liam’s stage technique, Lily claimed that the public would be “outraged.”
As he announced his Oasis reunion tour, the Smile hitmaker’s antics with Liam resurfaced. They reportedly met on a flight to Japan to attend the Fuji Rock Festival, according to Lily.
While Liam and Nicole Appleton were still married, she claimed they were “hammered” together and decided to have sex in the bathroom. Even Lily claimed that the incident didn’t end there because another hotel tryst followed, before lying to hide their identities.
Lily stated in her book, My Thoughts Exactly, that “we got hammered on the plane.” When Liam and I were reunited in the bathroom, we realized it wasn’t drugs. Then, together, we were lying in a bed.
What are you doing now, Liam yelled in his trademark nasal twang when we arrived in Tokyo. Why don’t you return to our hotel? “I was like, Yeah, OK,” Lily said. “She had no idea that Nicole was married at the time.
She claimed that when Liam told her that no one would know, she would have learned that he was married. The singer acknowledged that because of growing up in an Oasis fandom, she had grown to love Liam.
Following her separation from Stranger Things actor David Harbour, Lily has recently been going through heartache. Before they tied the knot in a ceremony in Las Vegas in 2020, the couple started dating in 2019.
After four years together, they quietly went their separate ways, with their separation confirmed earlier this year. Lily found that David had a secret profile on the celebrity dating app Raya.

Jeri stated in a televised message on Tuesday that the city’s emergency would last for 30 days.

The president said that “wars are won with actions, not words,” and that he is considering switching from “defense to offence” in his plan to combat crime.
The government has the authority to impose restrictions on assembly and other rights under the state of emergency.
Mariana Sanchez, a reporter for Al Jazeera in Lima, reported on the announcement, which comes after six days of uncertainty about the continuation of the interim government.
The government did not specify how it would gather vital intelligence to combat extortion cases, which are estimated at 18, 000 this year, up 30% from last year, according to Sanchez, in the decree formally declaring the emergency.
In recent years, there have also been more murders as a result of the rise in extortions. Police reported 1, 690 homicides between January and September, up from 1, 502 in the same time period in 2024.
The state of emergency will end all people’s constitutional rights, according to Sanchez.
After being impeached during which lawmakers claimed she had been unable to combat the rise in crime, Dina Boluarte was removed from office by Peru’s Congress on October 10. She was immediately replaced by Jeri, the speaker of the legislature, who will serve as interim president until July of next year.
Anti-government protests led by Gen-Z activists have erupted in Peru for weeks, and they have been rampant.
On Thursday, violent demonstrations erupted demanding Jeri’s resignation. Police officers, some journalists, and about 100 others were hurt, including one fatality and about 100 others.
Jeri has stated that he won’t step down.
Following the murder of a well-known musician, Boluarte had earlier instituted a 30-day state of emergency in March, but it had little effect on reducing crime.
We can all agree that the cold, dark mornings are the worst kind of winter as we enter the fall. A cozy dressing gown is a must if you’re sick of waking up and having a cold right away, before you even have your morning coffee.
And Princess Andre’s super soft and snuggly Victoria’s Secret one is the best if you’re looking for a new one. You can still purchase the Iconic Pink Stripe Fluffy Short Dressing Gown in all sizes for £49. She donned it as she prepared for the Pride of Britain Awards earlier this week.

The pink and white stripe dressing gown is ideal to wear while you wait for the shower to warm up, lounge on the sofa at night, or glam before a nighttime show like Princess. It can be draped away from the makeup without smudging it, but it can also be used to wrap itself in a shawl collar for extra warmth.
The Iconic Pink Stripe Fluffy Dressing Gown fastens with a tie belt at the waist to keep it secure, and it has side pockets for things like keeping your hands toasty and warm. It also has a shorter than usual length, which is great for making it easier to move around in but might not be as warm as a full-length one.
The Cosy Ribbed Fleece Midi Hooded Dressing Gown from Pour Moi is the best option if you want to purchase one that will keep you warm from head to toe. It costs £47 and comes in two colors, with a length that extends to mid-shin to keep you extra warm.
If you prefer the length of Princess Victoria’s Secret dressing gown but want something a little cosier, you can purchase Boux Avenue’s Fur-Trimmed Midi Dressing Gown. Although it costs $62, it also has an extra-heavily cozy hood and faux fur trim around the cuffs and collars to make it feel a little fancier and extra warm.
Victoria’s Secret customers, however, gave Princess’ Iconic Pink Stripe Fluffy Dressing Gown a 4.5 out of 5 rating. Although it has received a lot of positive reviews, only one left one, writing, “Gorgeous dressing gown, very good quality, very pretty.”
The dressing gown is available in three other colors, including black, pale pink, and red, if you don’t like the pink and white stripe print. Additionally, you can order it in three sizes, with Princess’ pink and white pick currently having all of its sizes in stock.
