The Clean // Influential Artist



The Clean are little known first-wave punk band from New Zealand who have been making music since the late 70's. The bands line-up has changed over the years but has always been revolving around brothers Hamish and David Kilgour. The band disbanded for much of the 80's allowing members to work on other projects but came back together at the end of the 80's to continue making music. After reuniting their sound became more commercial but still had an experimental edge. In 2007 they went on their first world tour and released a live album from that tour. The band although only ever having any success in their native country of New Zealand have been influential for many bands. I'd defiantly recommend getting "Anthology" which is a collection of their early material which was put out in 2002 as many of the records were hard to get hold of. Here are some of my favorites from that album.
