Clagg are a sludge/stoner/doom group based in Melbourne, Australia. Formed in October 2002, they draw inspiration from bands such as Iron Monkey, Eyehategod, Earth, Kyuss, Electric Wizard, Black Sabbath, and numerous others. A self-titled demo was released in April 2003, featuring a range of bizarre lyrical themes including, most notably, an inexplicable yet intense dislike of actor David Arquette. Early shows were held at the Central Club and The Arthouse, before a "home base" was formed at the Green Room.

In 2004, bassist Ash and vocalist Ben were replaced by Adam B. Doom and Scotty respectively, and a full-length album entitled Let The Galaxy Burn was planned. Recorded at St Andrews Studio in October 2004, this was to be set back and finally released in June 2005 after Ozz recovered from a serious injury. The year culminated in Clagg supporting English doom heroes Electric Wizard, in Sydney and Canberra, and finally in Melbourne along with Swedish death metal legends Dismember, and Canberra's Pod People.

In March 2006, drummer Ozz left the band and was replaced by Al, formerly of Panty Raid. Clagg once again shared the stage with an international act in September, in the form of American stand-up comedian Neil Hamburger, and also played the final Metal For The Brain festival in Canberra on November 4, 2006.
