In the spring of 2010 Eef Barzelay and his band Clem Snide were invited to take part in the Onion AV Club’s undercover series. The song they chose to do was Journey’s 1983 power ballad “Faithfully”. Stripping the original of its bombast and opting instead for a soft spoken and tender solo uke performance proved to be a winning formula and was quite well received. This inspired AV Club editor and long time Clem Snide friend Josh Model to suggest exploring this approach further for a possible EP. After a very successful Kickstarter campaign Clem Snide’s Journey is now available digitally and as a limited edition vinyl.
