Underclaire has been making music together for more than ten years.  They have shared the stage with acts such as Living Sacrifice, Candlebox, Saliva, Corey Glover (Living Colour), Attack! Attack!, The Kicks, and Sparta to name a few.  Consistently putting out albums and playing regionally, they have made a name for themselves as a Little Rock, AR mainstay.

After spending the better part of 2009 in the studio, Underclaire released Making Sky January 1st 2010.  This 3rd full-length album was recorded at Poynter's Palace with Barry Poynter (The Juliana Theory, Living Sacrifice, Ho-Hum, South Park, HBO, etc) filling in on the bass guitar in addition to his usual Engineer/Producer duties.  A different approach was applied to this project—it is a concept album that is lush, layered and polished (in comparison with the indie-rockish, stripped, minimal-overdub arrangement of 2004’s Smalltown X). It is the story of twin siblings—brother and sister whose lives and luck take a turn for the worst.  The cover art was provided by Canadian artist, Socar Myles (www.gorblimey.com).

“…sweeping, bouncy, sometimes dramatic collection of layered and wellcrafted songs” -Sean Clancy, Arkansas Democrat Gazette

“Underclaire, on this third album, continues to put its two-guitar-pronged attack — of Mike Mullins and Edison DeLeon — out in front, with striking lines that weave and build and come crashing together in anthemic ways. Mullins, who also writes the band's lyrics and sings, wraps everything around a song-cycle about fraternal twins. Relationship problems, a suicide and a killing spree factor in, but the darkness doesn't overwhelm the band's warm instrumental approach.” –Lindsey Millar, Arkansas Times
