CLAMM
Words by Coco Veldkamp
The lives of CLAMM’s Jack Summers and Lulu’s Records’ Yasmine Sharaf aren’t underlined by the 9 to 5 or colourful salaries. They haven’t chosen the easy road, but they’ve chosen the most gratifying.
On the edge of reason, the edge of conventionality and the edge of the Melbourne music scene, frontman of punk rock band CLAMM, Jack Summers, divulges his vendetta against the 9 to 5, the black dog and the state of contemporary Australia.
Having worked a bunch of odd-sod jobs to support his creative endeavours, and now taking a leap of faith, as he puts it, into his music, the 23-year-old wants anything but to be a cog in the system, despite admitting it would make his life a whole lot easier.
