Interview Magazine chats with The Clean

the_clean_soter_1_loInterview Magazine‘s Erik Morse had a conversation with The Clean’s David Kilgour for their music blog. Read the full interview here.

EM: In addition to some personnel crossover between a lot of the Flying Nun bands, was there a unifying working methodology that everyone shared?  Did the label ever have a political bent?

DK: Oh yeah, it was the post-punk, indie answer to the corporate rock industry monster.  The Clean carried many a punk ideal, and well before Roger came along with Flying Nun. We cared, maaaaan!  Still do!  I think it’s fair to say that in the early days we did want to stick the finger at the MAN.
