The very first group to record on Flying Nun Records, fronted by legendary experimental guitarist Roy Montgomery. Dark and Gloomy, evocative recordings - suitably earning the nickname 'Roy Division'.

The key group of New Zealand underground legend Peter Gutteridge (despite being a founding member of BOTH the Clean and the Chills). Snapper made driving, droning guitars-infused with synths post-punk throughout the 1980s and 1990s before Gutteridge disappeared from the public eye.
FLASHBACK TO 29 March 2012 with Peter Gutteridge and Brother Love at Darkroom. One of the Christchurch musician's later live performances, captured in a review originally published in the Christchurch Press on 5 April 2012.
The Clean have left a giant stamp on New Zealand Independent Music. The group that came to define 'The Dunedin Sound' had a terrific topsy-turvy career that spanned 5 albums and a number of EPs, singles, compilations and live releases over a 31 year time-span.
