In support of its ripping debut album, Maybe We’re Not So Far Apart, local band Clavus is currently embarking on a perilous tour with The Holy Ghost Tabernacle Choir (Savannah) into the heart of the Sunshine State and back, undoubtedly leaving a trail of destruction to mark the way home. Clavus, half of whose members you may recognize from the exceptional heathen honky tonk band Newport Transplant, delivers math-tinged screamo replete with crushing drums, shimmering modal guitar passages and Amie Clavus’ stunningly diverse vocal performances, in much the same way a grenade would be thrown into a room. Maybe We’re Not So Far Apart comes in at a blistering 20 minutes and 31 seconds, giving you no excuse not to be familiar with the band’s music. Clavus will conclude its 10-day tour at The World Famous on Jan. 28, where it’ll meet up with its companions on the journey, The Holy Ghost Tabernacle Choir. Screamo money, baby.
