Clearance
Albums

Clearance is an independent rock band from Chicago. Drawing equal inspiration from the Flying Nun school of art-damaged pop (The Clean), golden-era indie rock (Pavement, The Feelies), and the post-punk basement heroics of their contemporaries (The Stevens, Parquet Courts, Omni), the Chicago-based band's career is littered with witty and wiry gems. Formed in Chicago by songwriter/guitarist Mike Bellis and drummer Arthur Velez after meeting at the University of Michigan, the pair self-released a string of 7-inches and cassette tapes in 2013 and 2014. Guitarist Kevin Fairbairn and bassist Greg Obis cemented the group as a live act and, soon thereafter, as a consistent presence on the national DIY touring circuit. Debut album "Rapid Rewards" was released in 2015 via indies Tall Pat and Unsatisfied. Seven-inch single "Are You Aware" quickly followed in 2016. After extensive touring throughout the U.S., Canada, and Brazil, the band's second full-length "At Your Leisure" arrived in 2018 via Topshelf Records.
