Been listening to a lot of post punk lately and its offshoots and wanted to make a genre thread. Been really into Lemon Kittens recently. We Buy A Hammer For Daddy is good punk music for quickly walking by an arguing couple in the street and has some of the coolest sax tonguing I've ever heard.
Good looking out Chief. Love how haunting this thing could get like on Everyone Squeaks Gently or the outro (that's almost late stage scott walker) but then it just rips halfway through with the drum machines. I was kind of blindsided by the fact that this is where Klasky Csupo gets their logo music from. Rugrats will never be the same. Got very Meredith Monk at times, lots of middle eastern influence. I digged thoroughly.
Anyone into Liquid Liquid? This is seriously one of the greatest eps ever made. The rhythms here are just the most danceable no wave this side of the Atlantic.
I fucking love post punk so much. I've gone so deep into the underground that I've discovered fantastic band and absolute shit but it was all worth it. But still, nobody beats Nick Cave.

That is not this thread.
EDIT: This could legit make my Top 100 and it's on Spotify:

Fixed. That post of mine pretty much applies to a few styles
I'll check out the band you mentioned. I just saw their tags on last.fm and Rateyourmusic. They look like the kind of thing I'd listen to. _________________ Do it yourself and let me play my music: https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=61802

Post-punk is a fluid, amorphous term that takes in so many different tentacles of punk's DIY attitude, from Joy Divison's and Magazine's and The Fall's early industrial, angular Mancunianism, to the sci-fi synth-pop of the Human League in Sheffield, to the VU- and disco-indebted wonk-pop of Orange Juice and Aztec Camera in Glasgow, not to mention the mod-revivalist ska of The Specials (in Coventry) or the aggressive romantic working-class white soul of Dexy's (in Birmingham), or The Pop Group and The Slits (London) leaning on reggae, dub, and Soweto street sounds, or the purist, nationalist bad vibes of Sham 69 etc..
Post-punk is not one thing. It could never be one thing. Speaking about all of its various strands is the only way to speak on it properly. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
Scritti Politti are great. Skank Bloc Bologna is an all timer. Giving this comp a check now as there so much material here I'm unfamiliar with. Thanks!
Yeah I loveeee Swell Maps. Some all timer interludes on their debut. Love when the motorik beats kick in on the second half on that one.

I know that. Why do you think I love it? Hell the same can be said about punk rock. In punk you can go as poppy as Blink-182 or go as extreme as Dropdead, and there are many different kinds of metal punk combinations like grind, crossover thrash, metalcore, deathcore, etc. And this doesn't include the wackier genres like like synth punk and ska punk. Post-punk is very much the same. The interchanging with new wave that Talking Heads and B-52's are known for, the atmospgere of cold wave, the mysticism in Siouxsie's take on Gothic rock, and the utter darkness of Nick Cave are what make it such a special genre. Let's not forget the common overlap with punk rock that define early Wire amd Talking Heads, or the simple dance-punk of LCD Soundsystem.
The whole idea of post-punk was to go beyond punk's limitations. I might even go as far as to say that post-punk could potentially be the greatest form of rock music ever. I love both punk and post-punk very closely. _________________ Do it yourself and let me play my music: https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=61802
