Today’s Special: Polvo & The Clean

Usually it’s the summer when your favourite bands of dwindling youth reform and play the lucrative summer music festival circuit. You know you’re not as young as you used to be when the style of music you were into in university starts to resurface once again as an immerging trend. But Polvo and The Clean haven’t reformed or gone away entirely. They’ve simply been on a long hiatus. But unlike so many groups that return with decent or sub-par albums and then promptly return to the “Where are they now?” file, these two acts have just released some of the best work of their careers. Sure, they all look older, have kids, and worry about throwing out their backs on stage, but they’ve honed their craft like professors telling their new students how to do it. It’s back to school time. You may think your teacher is old school, but then again, those were good old days.
