The Clean have been making punk-interesting-pop since 1978. Their latest album, Mister Pop, released September 8 by Merge Records, maintains their Kiwi punk perspective, with a dash of the experimental.

Below are a few bites of The Clean: a performance from last year and a few vintage interview clips. Enjoy.

Mister Pop is available on CD and digital download in the Merge store.
