Punk rock
Punk rock

Clinic is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Ratatat, Pional, Mahogany, Gang of Four and Silver Apples. Those roots explain a lot about how Clinic arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Crystal Stilts, The Beta Band, The Fiery Furnaces, Electrelane and The Futureheads, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, Roky Erickson, Arcade Fire and John Cale, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 44 connections around Clinic, reaching back through Ratatat and forward to Radiohead.
