Sorry for the radio silence! I was supposed to publish a post on this one, but my work had me busy, so let's just say i took a break for nearly a month. Now i'm taking the time to publish it.

Clean (or Cleanxxx) is one of the early bands from Zagreb, Croatia, formed in 1998. They played Ebulition/Stonehedge styled 90's emocore with XStraightxEdgeX ethics on their sleeve. They released a very small discography, one having an EP released in 1999 and later released a discography tape containing new songs recorded in 2000 before finally calling quits. Afterwards, the members went on to play Amok, Dead Dog Summer, Don't Mess With Texas, Kinoklub, Latest, Nikad, Ponor, Radio Free Isaac, Senata Fox and Storms.

Their music is slow but steady, melancholic and cathartic with soft-loud dynamics. Part spoken word, part shouting and part raw, out of tune singing just spurs of an emotional moment. It's been hard for me to pick any song from them since the entire discography is already good. Let's just say these two songs right here can speak for themselves.
