I imagine the upsurge that country has had in the last decade or so has been because mainstream rock radio has only had the likes of Nickelback and Avenged Sevenfold to throw up, while hip hop reigns supreme, so all the rednecks just end up listening to Toby Keith instead. Rednecks would totally eat this **** up. I could so see this band possibly revitalizing mainstream rock if given the right chance.

Agreed entirely dude, one of my favorite bands. But part of them not being mainstream is the fact that, to my knowledge, they're pretty much completely self supported. I think they've gone back and forth on non independent labels but most of their **** is done on their own. Thats why they don't get as much coverage, and why they regrettably don't tour far from their home base.
Of course, I'm lucky enough that they come to Michigan like three times a year
Everyone loves Clutch here.
