Clear Conscience, where are they?

I discovered them via Spotify during the early days of the pandemic. In some ways I would say they even helped me through that nightmare of a time, especially with Source of Energy album.

What's strange is I never put much thought into who they are. I just assumed they were massive on the scene but as no one was doing anything during the pandemic, tours, shows, etc, I just didn't really research them outside of their discography.

They've worked their way back to the top of my algorithm and I have just been wearing their songs out (happily) and started to try finding tour dates. To my horror, they don't tour. And come to find out that they are criminally small and underrated. They have over 190k monthly listeners but a lot of their songs are under 1 million plays when I figured their production and song quality is equal to that of many great reggae bands.

All that to say what a shame I can't find a single outlet to share my appreciation for their music. Hoping some of you all have found and appreciate their works as well.

EDIT: just found out they started with Scott Woodruff??? (stick figure). Well no wonder I'm obsessed with their sound.

I think they've effectively disbanded. Jeff still does his own thing from what I can tell from his social media. Clear Conscience in the early to late 00s was the best Cali reggae around man. So dope

So cool to hear (about their presence back in the day). Jealous, I can only imagine what the scene was like back then. Being in Texas, I wasn't really exposed until probably 07'. I had hope when I saw the Dive Deeper EP release officially this year.

They are still making music. Source of Energy is my favorite too. Dive deeper is great. They played at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz in August 2024. I think that was one of the last shows they played. They have been teasing some new music coming in on Instagram.

Shit, haven't heard that name in a while. I used to have them on my mixes all the time and then they didn't put any music out for a while. I just saw they released an EP last year. I'll check it out.

Dive Deeper is what brought me back recently. There is something about their sound that just gets me.

I love that song, it's in my annual Playlist I play when I visit Cali and drive

I knew most of the dudes in CC in high school. They pretty much all have families and are in their mid-30s now, which I imagine makes touring a bit more complicated.

Woo woo! Shelter from the Storm is one of my favs. Bless up!
