The Clay People

The Clay People

The Clay People is an industrial rock band based in Albany, New York. Singer-programmer Daniel Neet has been the only constant member throughout the band's history, leading the group as its sound has evolved to incorporate gothic, industrial and metal influences. Neet is also a member of Chicago-based industrialists Iron Lung Corp.

Originally known as "Clay People," the group added "The" to their name with the release of a self-titled 1998 album, marking a change in direction toward a less-synthetic/sampled approach to live performance with a lineup featuring Neet, Brian McGarvey (guitar), Mike Guzzardi (guitar), D. Patrick Walsh (bass) and Dan Dinsmore (drums). The Clay People (1998 album) was produced by Neil Kernon for Slipdisc Records (a Mercury affiliate); Kernon also worked with Queensrÿche and David Bowie, among many others. It was the band's most commercially successful release, and songs from the record were included in the soundtracks to films Strangeland and Universal Soldier: The Return, as well as on the soundtracks to several video games.

After several personnel changes following the record's issue, the band went on hiatus in the early 2000s as members pursued solo and side projects or launched new bands, including Idols Never Die [1], featuring Guzzardi and Dinsmore. A new album from The Clay People, Waking the Dead, was released on May 22, 2007 via Overit Records with a lineup featuring Neet, Dinsmore and McGarvey from the 1998 band.

Alongside the new release is a music video for the album's first single, "Supersonic Overdrive," directed by Jay Bender of Phobic Films.
