The Clean is an indie rock band that was formed in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1978. Although they originally disbanded in 1982, they made a comeback in 1988 and continued to tour sporadically thereafter. Tragically, drummer Hamish Kilgour passed away in December 2022.
During the years when they were not active as a band, The Clean continued to release songs, including rare tracks and live recordings. Their influence can be seen in bands such as *The Bats* and *The Verlaines*. In recognition of their contributions to music, The Clean was inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall Of Fame in September 2017.
If you enjoy the music of *The Bats*, *The Verlaines*, or other artists like *David Kilgour* and *Tall Dwarfs*, then you will definitely appreciate the unique sound of The Clean.

Originally released in 1996, Unknown Country is available on vinyl for the first time in the US! In 1978, The Clean were the seeds of New Zealand punk. In the years since, they have carved out a big sandbox for everyone to play in, and their influence resonates not only in NZ but around the world. A group that thrives when free of expectations, The Clean's Robert Scott, Hamish Kilgour, and David Kilgour are, as Tape Op described, "a casually wonderful band."
