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.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Modern Rock and “Late Last Night,” both vinyl reissues have been remastered from the original tapes by producer and engineer Tex Houston and preserve Hamish Kilgour’s original artwork. These vinyl releases represent the first time either title has been in print on the format since its initial release.
