Passive Restraints is the second EP by American rock band Clutch, released in April 1992 via Earache Records. A reissue called Impetus was released in 1997 with extra songs. [2]
It was a three-song EP with some early punk/metal tracks that don't make the live set list much anymore, though they were a good example of their influence by bands such as Bad Brains. Vocalist Neil Fallon stated, after hearing Bad Brains on their debut self-titled album, Bad Brains : [3]
The EP has, in recent years, become much more of a staple in the band's live sets. The title track, as well as Impetus, are played almost regularly.
The second EP from Clutch was also to become a rare find. It was released on CD and 12" vinyl, but according to Earache Records the 12" is no longer available. It was also the second album produced/engineered with Lawrence "Uncle Punchy" Packer at his studios in their home state of Maryland.

Bad Brains are followers of the Rastafari movement.
