mcr profile                

Seventies punk rock still hasn't died in Detroit, Mich.  Whether you're a fan or not, you've got to admit that the Clone Defects embody an old-school rock & roll ethic that's pretty darn admirable. That means 'let the Pabst flow and turn er' up.'  This band is not one of the self-pomotin', latter-climbin' persuasion.  They do their thing, and if you like it, great, and if you don't, well that's too damn bad.  Timmy Vulgar even had to be talked into doing a publicity photo for the Detroit MetroTimes once.

They released their first singles in 1999 on the Ypsilanti-based Tom Perkins Records and Dave Buick's Italy Records. Timmy has produced and engineered virtually all of the Clone Defects recordings except for a couple singles which were recorded by Jack White and then mixed by Timmy along with Jim Diamond. In 2003, they recorded 
Shapes of Venus at Ghetto Recorders. --Ryan Sult
