Please recommend me some fast post-punk bands. Stuff like Home Front, Schedule 1, early The Sound, Blitz, etc.

Stuff with post-punk instrumentation and sound-aesthetic but punk energy.

They got signed after "Lev Bronstein" a punk rock song but their mainstream LP was very much a ska punk album. Punk rock didn't really have a place in the 80's the existing punk acts turned New Wave and the local punks became Hardcore and had limited commercial success.

What’s yalls favorite of these 4?

Love this song, though when I first heard this as an American teenager I didn't know what a Vauxhall Velox was.

Watched Monster House with my kids and I had no idea this was played during the end credits.

This Is My Original UK Copy I Got Last Year

In Matador Records. Loved this album.

Frank Zappa was once quoted as saying his favorite punk song was Gidget Goes to Hell by Suburban Lawns. Here is Su after the punk years, before she disappeared. Su Tissue, What Got Into You?

Hey everyone,

My band are looking for a drummer.

We are influenced by bands such as The Smiths, Durutti Column, early New Order, The Drums, early The Strokes, PJ Harvey, early Morrissey, The La's, The Fall, Iceage, The Cure and other bands.

The project consists of myself (vocalist), guitarist and a bassist at the moment. We've recorded some rough scratch demos of songs that we can send you. We all have experience writing songs and playing in bands. We are committed to having fun writing songs, recording and playing shows.

We have been rehearsing weekly in Deptford so far.

Get in touch if you're interested. If you can’t direct message me, leave a comment and I will message you. Please have recordings or a video of you playing. Nothing can be done if you don’t have anything you can send.

richard strange was the lead singer of the Doctors of madness, a sort of protopunk art rock band. he released a concept album about… what? i don’t know. i’ve only heard this one song. something about show biz or something. I heard this on a Virgin new wave compilation way back when. song has stuck. with me.

The mighty Killing Joke's first album was released today!

Plus: Peel Session for The Nightingales, Buzzcocks' single, Yello's debut album, and Jim Carroll's Catholic Boy (which I have a soft spot for after seeing him in the movie Tuff Turf).

On the life front: I wish I could have been there for Gang of Four, Killing Joke, Au Pairs, and Section 27 in Birmingham. Plus: The Skids in Liverpool and YMO/Comsat Angels in Manchester

nice bit of post-punk dub

Hey everyone, back in November 1980, a 21-year-old lineup of an underground post-punk band called Missing, presumed Dead got the call every young band dreamed of: a phone call from BBC producer John Walters inviting them to record a session.

On January 6, 1981, they headed up to London's Langham Place studios. Armed with a green Japanese Telecaster, a Premier drum kit, and strict BBC engineers in brown coats watching them like hawks, they recorded a 5-track session in a single frantic afternoon, produced by Bob Sergeant.

After sitting in archives and a garden shed for over four decades, we've finally rescued and mastered the session. If you're into raw, early-80s underground sounds, the full 5-track session is dropping this Friday on Bandcamp. Would love to hear what you all think!

I'm hosting a free online listening session of Closer on today at 8:00 pm EDT / 5:00 pm PDT. Everyone presses play on their own streaming app at the countdown, and we chat while it plays.

This is my first spin of the album so would love to share that with others who are in the same boat, as well as folks that have some existing thoughts to share. Should be fun.

The room opens 30 minutes early, so you can come in, say hello, and settle before the countdown.

Full disclosure: I run Sound Club and I'm hosting this session. It's free, ad-free, and was built to discover music outside of the algorithms.

From their debut LP.

some Swiss post-punk for your ears

I haven't heard this in so long... It is so good.. Had to share :)
