The Cliks new album Snakehouse reveals a band of
such primal power and unguarded emotionality that it will
take your breath away. "Oh yeah, oh yeah, I've fallen
down/But I can get up," sings Lucas Silveira in a voice at
once scarred and defiant, over a pummeling rhythm
section and a guitar riff of barely controlled fury. This
unambiguous declaration kicks off "Oh Yeah," one of 10
fiercely expressive tracks on Snakehouse, and it could
serve as the credo of the Toronto four-piece, as well as

Another stunner, opening track "Complicated," leaps out of the speakers like
a Pitbull with fangs bared, building to a series of explosive climaxes before
hitting a bridge that takes the song to another level altogether. Just as
captivating is the bands improbable transformation of Justin Timberlake's
"Cry Me a River" into a seething rock anthem, driven by a hopped-up reggae
groove that shows you what a super-tight unit this is. Listening to these
indelible tracks, one can understand why The Cliks have frequently been
compared to the original Pretenders, as the multitalented Silveira writes and
sings with the unbridled intensity of Chrissie Hynde while also playing
electric guitar with the thrilling dynamism of the late, great James Honeyman-
Scott.
The Cliks - led by vocalist/guitarist Lucas Silveira with Morgan Doctor
(drums), Nina Martinez (guitar), Jen Benton (bass) - are known for their
blazing, uncompromising live performances. The ferocious Toronto-based
band will be touring the US performing songs from their forthcoming album,
'Snakehouse' [April 24/Tommy Boy/Silver Label(US/International) Kindling
Music/Warner Music Canada(Canada)]. From the brash, energetic first
single "Oh Yeah" or the sexy yet gutsy "Leading Me On," to their crowd
favorite radical re-working of Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River," The Cliks
deliver a "defiant intensity" (MTV.com).
"The Cliks are the band we have all been waiting for. No one else can
inspire such crushed-out admiration and full-on rock star screaming. I
thought those embarrassing fangirl days were long gone for me, but The
Cliks have brought them back with a vengeance." -Margaret Cho
"The Cliks, a foursome out of Toronto, rock with primal, stylish ferocity
reminiscent of the early Pretenders" - Boston Globe (at SXSW)
"Part of my mission with the True Colors tour was to provide a platform for
some new and exciting acts. A band like The Cliks are all that and more.
They are a force to be reckoned with and I am really excited to be sharing the
stage with them." - Cyndi Lauper

The Cliks are for real. Don't expect cheesy, drippy bubblegum pop-rock from
this good looking and styling group. From the first note, chord and beat, they
hammer their balls-to-wall rock. They're tight and have a great rhythm
section that keeps the foundation together, and a lead guitar axe-woman
who's going to have the boys and girls drooling. - Chart Attack (Canada)
