The Clique

The Clique stand as a distinctive voice from the 1990s UK mod revival movement, rooted in the rich tradition of British rock. Emerging from the United Kingdom, this group carved out a niche with their authentic approach, merging the mod subculture’s melodic sensibilities with punchy rock exuberance. Their 1995 album, Self Preservation Society, remains a highlight, featuring tracks such as “Why Do I Cry”, “Painting Pictures”, and “Bareback Donkey Riding”, all of which showcase their flair for catchy hooks and energetic arrangements.

Known amongst discerning fans for blending classic rock influences with a uniquely British flavour, The Clique have maintained a strong appeal, particularly for those passionate about the mod revival’s enduring resonance. Their catalogue, including tracks such as “Crystal Ball”, “Reggie”, and the inventive “Medley: The Cadbury’s Flake Theme”, continues to capture the spirit of the genre without ever sounding dated or derivative.

In June 2026, The Clique are set to bring their dynamic live act to the stage at the New Cross Inn in London, supporting Contention at the CONTINENTION NUCLEAR SUMMER EUROPE event. For those seeking authentic British rock and a glimpse into the mod revival sound, The Clique offer both nostalgia and vital musicianship.
