UK rock band Clockwork Wolf & Co. have released a music video for the song “Idle Hands” from the 2018 E.P. In The Sunshine. The music video was put out on December 24th and can be viewed at the link below.
Clockwork Wolf & Co. play a heavy, groove-laden style of blues-tinged rock music and are fronted by someone who may be a familiar face to those who are fans of British guitar music, Rob Chapman. Rob Chapman is perhaps best-known as the founder and owner of the acclaimed guitar brand Chapman Guitars, who have seen a great deal of success over the last few years, working with artists such as Lacuna Coil, Tides of Man and popular YouTuber musician Rob Scallon. Much of Chapman’s following was also amassed from his work as a presenter for the YouTube channel of music store Andertons, and his own YouTube channel, where he would demo various kinds of music gear.
Chapman was also in a similar band called Dorje, who have amassed several million streams on Spotify between their two E.Ps Catalyst (2015) and Centred and One (2016). Unfortunately, Chapman confirmed earlier this month that the group had officially split up after several years of inactivity.
In an Instagram statement posted on the 16th of December, Chapman said: “Hey guys, I am very sad to say that @dorjeofficial is no more… I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the incredible people who supported us on our musical journey over the years… From now on all of our energy will be directed into our individual projects @thetotemistofficial @clockworkwolfandco @musicisum thank you for being a part of our journey and we hope to see you at a gig soon, Rob.”

In addition to this new music video, Clockwork Wolf & Co. released a new E.P. entitled Church Of The Wolf earlier this year, which can be found on all streaming services alongside the rest of their musical catalogue. The band are also issuing vinyl copies of the E.P, which can be pre-ordered at this link.
The group are also very active on their social media, posting frequent writing and recording updates. On the 1st of December, they posted a series of photos to their Facebook with the caption: “1st Dec Photo-dump! Album writing is almost complete, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the tracks!”
