The Claim is an influential indie pop band from the 1980s. Hailing from Cliffe, Kent, England, they were part of the thriving indie scene at that time. Known for their catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics, The Claim's music resonated with fans who appreciated their unique sound.
With a sound reminiscent of bands like The Jasmine Minks and Felt, The Claim carved out their own niche in the indie music landscape. Their songs captured the essence of everyday life with honesty and sincerity.
Although they may not have achieved mainstream success, The Claim's impact on the indie music scene cannot be understated. Their influence can still be heard in contemporary artists such as Another Sunny Day and Holiday Ghosts. For fans of authentic indie pop music, exploring The Claim's discography is a must.

A Turntable Friend Records present a re-mastered re-release of the second classic album by The Claim, Boomy Tella, originally released on Kevin Pearce's legendary Esurient Communications in 1988.

The Claim from Cliffe, Kent were one of the key players in the then thriving "Medway Scene" alongside The Prisoners, Billy Childish, and The Dentists. This second album received glowing reviews at the time including Bob Stanley's 8/10 review in the NME alongside numerous plays by John Peel. If you want to hear where early Blur got their sound from, look no further. The Claim's guitarist David Arnold also played on early Jasmine Minks releases. Liner notes by David Arnold. Remastered using the original ¼-inch tapes.

LP - Limited Edition Green Colored LP packaged in gatefold sleeve. Includes download code.
