CLIQUE exists not as a traditional band but as a forum for radical discourse within hardcore's landscape. Formed in 2022 in California with members spanning the Bay Area and Los Angeles, CLIQUE has quickly made a name for itself through an undeniably vicious live show and a depth that's been long missing from the scene. In a world increasingly defined by individual recognition, CLIQUE operates anonymously, rejecting the spotlight in favor of their message and finding strength in collective struggle.

CLIQUE's first collection LP, "In Lives That Won't Last", compiling three self-released EPs — "Looters in Paradise," "A Worldwide Clique," and "Communique" along with debut single "Future Denied" — is out now through Closed Casket Activities. Drawing from influences spanning Crass to Neurosis, Earth Crisis to MBV, they forge a sound that defies easy categorization while undoubtedly belonging to hardcore. Having shared stages with ZULU, The Body, and Candy, CLIQUE moves forward with momentum and conviction.
