Post-Punk Thread

[princesschad]

I didn't see another, so here this is.

For discussion on anything post-punk. Don't be shy.

I love me some Joy Division...

[IntoTheSun]

I like this stuff. I need more of it.

[kearn1tm]

Andy hates this shit.

I've been listening to feedtime lately. I recommend them. NqC7tsyfOII

Post-Punk is one of the best things to ever happen to music.

[Rawrr]

mmmm, maybe my favorite genre.

Keep this thread alive! I want to find even more good bands in this genre mmm.

Was just listening to The Birthday Party eariler:

For more modern fare, get into Blessure Grave.

Blessure Grave is just a shitty Joy Division knock-off, but I do like your avatar.

This could be said for any post-Joy Division post-punk band so I'm not sure I agree with you. In fact, I don't. Why stack every band against Joy Division instead of just liking it?

[IntoTheSun]

duh.

The Estranged

The Soft Moon

They just dropped an EP. They're noisey/post-punky/industrial

It really doesn't apply to every post-punk band after JD. I would never accuse The Chameleons or Echo & the Bunnymen to be Joy Divison rip-offs.

EDIT: I've never actually heard the supposed band in question, just making an observation.

[Rawrr]

Because Blessure Grave has an album entitled "Unknown Blessures"

But really, I know that every modern post-punk band sounds like JD, yadda yadda yadda, but I just get the vibe out of BG more than any other band, I don't really need anymore shitty Ian Curtis inspired vocalizing.

Oh, well maybe they should apologize for wearing their inspiration on their sleeve. If you don't need anymore shitty Ian Curtis inspired vocalizing you probably shouldn't listen to post-punk.

I prefer Youth of America, but Return of the Rat is my favorite track of theirs. They're both good.

[kearn1tm]

The Walkmen

Yeah, yeah. Hype band, whatever. Bows + Arrows was awesome.

Today I have learned many a things. Thank you all.

been 'rockin' demonstration tapes a lot these days

[FullCollaspe]

The Pop Group are one of my favorites

[Rawrr]

Also going to back Fad Gadget, seems under appreciated to me. Same goes for Silicon Teens, especially in the context of this whole synth/coldwave revival that's going on.

Mmm, favorite Jerks song, so good, feel weird lumping in No Wave wih Post-Punk, but I recently discovered DNA on DNA again and I've been listening to it a lot lately, for some reason it never really clicked with me when I bought it last year,but it has been lately so idk. Arto is a genius (maybe)

This is the first band mentioned thus far that I hadn't previously heard of. It sounds good. I could google this, but I'm crippled by laziness. What album is this? I'm going to download it.

A lot of early No Wave, Industrial and Punk spilled over into Post-Punk. You could throw in Industrial acts like Minimal Man or New Wave/Rave acts like Fad Gadget in or Synthpunk stuff like Nervous Gender. It's hard to have a unified, rigid criteria for inclusion here. DNA's good stuff.

[kearn1tm]

Thanks, man.

Didn't know Dead Can Dance is post-punk, cool. Lots of good stuff dropped so far, and lots of stuff I haven't heard of. I should try listening to Teenage Jesus and the Jerks again, didn't like them too much the first time around.

[kearn1tm]

Huh.

[GuitarR0cker1]

Love this thread, thanks guys.

Young Marble Giants? A bit more sparse than most post-punk, I think.

[kearn1tm]

Young Marble Giants? A bit more sparse than most post-punk, I think.

Maybe more minimal, but that's not entirely uncommon in the genre. They're definitely Post-Punk.

The only inclusion that seems a bit suspect is Television. If anything, they're more of a Prog band dressed up in a Punk aesthetic/from New York. That isn't an insult in the slightest, as I love Television.

[IntoTheSun]

This is one of my favorites.

ClUKTveX7Lo

Yummyyy. 'Paperwhite' is super catchy as well. Love the lyrics.

Yeah the whole album is great. One of my favorites ever.

Huh.

I guess they're not post-punk.

ClUKTveX7Lo

glad my for against thread turned at least one person onto the band!

[IntoTheSun]

Every piece of obscure music ever can be linearly traced back to its origins: Cuddley.

[Rawrr]

Do any of you losers listen to Psychic TV? At least a million albums, where to start.

[futureparachute]

Psychic TVs killer, I haven't give a listen to them in awhile but their one really "popular" and super-expensive EP is really good.

[DilesMavis]

I love Psychic TV, great, great stuff. I really like Just drifting (for caresse) a lot.

[myplanforescape]

Awesome thread, I'm going to have to go through it when I have more time. I was only familiar with a few bands I saw posted. Here's my contribution though.

The Soft Boys - Give it to the Soft Boys

xpMSlzF4Ezo&feature=related

[Rawrr]

Nice calls on the Soft Boys and Pylon, both groups are great.

Nice Screamers avatar as well, someone should make a Synthpunk/New Wave thread, not really that well versed in the genre, but pretty much all I've been listening to lately.

[IntoTheSun]

Don't even know what's synthpunk/new wave is, do tell? Or ya know, guess I could always wiki it.

Cudz got me into Bob Dylan.

I need recs in regards to The Raincoats. Where to begin?

[Rawrr]

The Raincoats, make sure to find a copy with 'Fairytale In the Supermarket"

[Rawrr]

http://vimeo.com/15648757

Dude I'm so excited for this album, really like the new direction they kind of went in + adding a drum machine.

[ohmessylife]

Dig this band. Odyshape is probably my favorite release, but I haven't heard them all so it's hard to say.

[ohmessylife]

New Mr. Dream is pretty fucking good.

man i want to start a thread for bands like psychic tv, the residents, terminal cheesecake, etc, but don't know what to call it. industrial/noise punk thread?

edit: fuck it

[FullCollaspe]

Been listening to Pere Ubu alot recently. Especially Dub Housing

Starting to get in to the Fall also, but why do they have so many albums? Too much. Anyways, liked Slates so seems like This Nations Saving Grace is next

Eccentric frontmen, huh?

[ruffian]

at least mark e is still the man. i haven't heard good things about david thomas.

this nation's is essential, but perverted by language is my favorite. it's got the same sinister vibe as 'an older lover etc.'

[rezma]

Pere Ubu were great, have you checked out The Modern Dance? That's my favourite of theirs.

But aye, I Love a bit of post punk, The Chameleons, Joy Division, early Cure, Mission of Burma, The Fall, Wire, Gang of Four, Bauhaus, The Birthday Party, For Against, Interpol, Liars, Have a Nice Life, Les Savy Fav etc.

Any of you guys checked out a new album by Iceage called New Brigade? They're not doing anything new or that, but it's a good little ode to early post punk.

[FullCollaspe]

I've listened to both, but I think I prefer Dub Housing

The Pop Group (as always) have been a staple for me as of late. For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder is just too good
