(Classic Rock) Jean-Paul Gaster says Clutch are aiming to start writing their 12th album within the next eight weeks. And the drummer hopes they continue to play live while they compose, because he enjoys the additional information provided by playing unfinished music to fans.

Gaster tells How Was It Detroit: "We'll take off the first three months of next year and we'll get down to writing, see what kind of direction that's going to take us in, then start making plans to record.

"Probably what will happen is we'll do some shows in the spring. For us, it's really important to play the new songs live. Those experiences are crucial to recording a record that you feel proud of. In the live setting you can immediately tell where the pulse of a tune is.

"You gauge by the audience reaction, how they're latching on, and you start to tweak things. That's really crucial - it brings the songs to life." Read more and watch the full interview here.
