    The Clean

    Modern Rock - 2025 Reissue

      'Modern Rock' crackles with spontaneous energy, as if The Clean namely, Hamish Kilgour, David Kilgour, and Robert Scott couldn’t help but make music together whenever they were in the same room. Following their 1989 reunion tour and the 1990 release of Vehicle, those opportunities were rare, with Hamish in New York City fronting The Mad Scene, David releasing his first solo album, and Robert recording albums with The Bats at a breakneck pace. Then, for nine days in April 1994, the stars aligned over Dunedin and Modern Rock bloomed into life.

      It’s an album of easy charm by a band so attuned to guitar pop that they make the creation of their sonic universe seem easy, as if what you’re being let in on is a long-running conversation between three masters at a point where all three are riffing off of each other, line by line and hook by hook. Significantly, after making 'Modern Rock', The Clean decided to keep the project going on a part-time basis. More than just a reminder to listeners of the reverence fans and musicians had for The Clean, each new record was a welcome surprise that established them as one of the great active bands of the 1990s and 2000s, their second act on par with the many, many groups their first act inspired.

      Screensaver

      Clean Current / Repeats

        Naarm/Melbourne 4-piece screensaver is back with a double A-side 7-inch single just 6-months after delivering their 10-track debut album Expressions of Interest on Upset the Rhythm (UK) and Heavy Machinery (AU) to positive international response.

        The band return with two distinctly different tracks that extend upon the blend of post-punk, new wave and synth-punk on their debut.

        Side A, Clean Current is a burst of high-energy: nervy guitars and groovy bass underpinned with krautrock drums and cosmic synth noise, overlayed with delay heavy vocals. Repeats is the flipside of the coin, a moody post-punk stomper, led by gritty sawtooth synth, chorus-soaked guitar, textural percussion and soaring vocals. Lyrically Clean Current spits out retorts aimed at the engulfing nature of anxiety whilst Repeats critiques the repetition of modern life, languishing human existence.

        Clean George IV

        God Save The Clean

          Tenement Records is pleased to announce the release of God Save The Clean by Clean George IV on 28th November.

          It is a modern British pop/rock epic, the sound of one mans very singular worldview.

          The last time George released a record (2007's 'First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women' included here in a new version) it received extensive play on radio's 1,2 and 6 making several end of year lists and scoring them live sessions with Huw Stevens and Vic Galloway on their radio 1 shows.

          Soon afterwards the band went on hiatus for various reasons, mainlyastrological and geographical. George moved back to Edinburgh and joined a myriad of side projects, attempted to undertake a classical music degree, got sued by Kraftwerk and co-wrote and produced a few albums with various friends in various places. He eventually decided to tackle finishing this album with the help of band member and record producer Tom Morris and his brother Tom McFall, also a producer and engineer.

          It is an album with more than it's fair share of bombast and ambition. From the swaggering anti cocaine anthem 'Real Men Take Speed' through the power pomp of 'Winter Son' and the post-landfill gloom of 'Fat=dead' this is a record made up of conflicting elements from many disparate genres, all underpinned by George's cosmic deadpan. Other highlights include 'London Scotland', first single 'Pets in the Blitz' and album closer 'Ex-Life'.
