Whoa, that was the best new stuff I've heard in a long time! You got more, Nick?
I haven't really looked into the post-punk revival, but I'm a huge fan of the first wave. If any of you haven't checked out Public Image Limited, Wire or Sad Lovers and Giants, please do. If you don't know Joy Division.. just learn to know them right now, okay?

also, I'm listening to Liars right now, who kind of sometimes fit the stranger styles of post-punk.

No Wave is a branch of post-punk, I think. kind of the New York take on it.

Weep is another of my favourite bands! James Chance and the Contortions fucking own, but when it comes to No Wave, nothing really beats Lydia Lunch: Try out anyting from "Shotgun Wedding" or "Some Velvet Morning", her collaborations with Rowland S. Howard! Chants of Maldoror were new to me, but whoa, great stuff. Thanks, Selena! Swans: www.myspace.com/swansaredead The Chameleons: www.myspace.com/thechameleons

how is it determined who is post-punk and who is goth and who is new wave.
there's like 5003280899324398274 genres to say someone is a cool late 70's-80's band

Most of the early goth and many "new wave" bands were post-punk, so yeah. It's all up to you. (not really.) I, for one, have a tendency to label everything from the 80's which sounds grey and melancholic as post-punk, no matter if it's punk, pop or goth. I fail.

both Swans and Chameleons are bands that I like, but haven't really dug into.

I love post-punk and I love that Brian Eno's first two albums did post-punk before there was punk to be post- about.

Some good stuff up in this thread right here. Who knows about Siekiera? I posted this in the post-punk thread on the OB, and it was the last post and killed the thread. Maybe 'cause it's in Polish? Or I just came late to the party and no one was down anymore. It helps to be able to upload stuff. Nowa Aleksandria, 1986. Here's the album cover: A little later than the height of the post punk wave, but it's friggin' Poland behind the iron curtain, so big deal! Fight me. This download is of the rerelease; the first ten tracks are from the album and the last three are from an EP from around the same time. They were originally a hardcore punk band; you can hear what that was like here: www.myspace.com/jarocinwitness. I don't have any of that stuff but it's abound the blags.

Any way I can listen to the album without downloading? And Also The Trees: www.myspace.com/andalsothetreesofficialThis band is, in lack of better words, astonishing. A wonderful mix of atmospheric, Joy Division-esque post-punk and romanticism.

I'm not sure this is appropriate... KUKL: www.myspace.com/kuklIcelandic, dark, avant-garde post?-punk. Björk and Einar Örn shares vocals. It sounds horrible, it's just a ..vexatious mass of instrumental and electronic sound. Einar Örn sings on it (you'll see what I mean..) It's fucking chaos. I love them. I spend way to much time posting in this thread.

Ah, deathrock. Not post-punk, but they're still great. We should like totally make a goth/deathrock thread. EDIT: .................I wrote that? Shit.

Any way I can listen to the album without downloading? the whole album? You can buy it, if you can find it. ;D I went looking for a myspace, here we go: www.myspace.com/siekiera Listening to the whole album is better though. "Idziemy przez las" is the first song on the album, "Ja stoję, ja tańczę, ja walczę" is the last and so from the EP. "Nowa Aleksandria" is right in the middle

Judging from this thread, post-punk is practically all I listen to, haha.
"Not digging into" Swans is really a mistake. !! Some of the later material might uh, be more palatable for frequent listening. The early material makes him sound angry enough to shit his pants.
I would really like to find more Swans-style no-wave though. Cop Shoot Cop did it on their really early material but that's it. I'm not really big on the uh. . .goofy (??) style of it (i.e. the Contortions), I only listen to them very rarely.
I also like Rowland's band after the Birthday Party, These Immortal Souls.

Can't stand Lydia Lunch for some reason, actually. . .it might be that I read her uh, dirty story/memoir/who the fuck knows involving Nick Cave['s really oversized fist ] when I was still quite uh, young and unsoiled, and I forever associate her with, "But how. . .why. . .oh god." I think I also legitimately dislike her voice though. I guess theoretically it should've also soiled my view of Mr. Cave, but I'd heard his music and whatnot BEFORE reading that terrible thing. That was my first impression of Lydia Lunch. Ahahaha.

I listened through some music of Veil Veil Vanish, it's really good. thanks for posting this nick.
No mention of Killing Joke in this thread yet. They're a-ok with me.
'What Does Anything Mean? Basically' by Chameleons UK is a great album. But i never considered it post-punk.
It just seems to me that there's post-punk, new wave, goth, synth pop, death rock. And I've heard/seen many bands that fit into those categories also described as ones of other categories. Like Chameleons or Psychedelic Furs.
Then there's Gang of Four that I always just considered a punk band.

I like the ads on this page.. hahah. It's really hard to post anything in this thread. I don't wanna post Bauhaus, because they're too goffick, nor do I want to post Siouxsie and the Banshees because I consider them too up-beat and pop to be a post-punk band. Bah, I'll do it anyway. Bauhaus: www.myspace.com/officialbauhaus I just realized their myspace biography claims that without Bauhaus, there would be no AFI. Hahahaha. Siouxsie and the Banshees: www.myspace.com/siouxsieandthebanshees

I'm not sure if they're post-punk, new wave or something else, but I think The Jesus and Mary Chain and Talking Heads count. Although they came out in 1977, Television's Marquee Moon and Iggy Pop's The Idiot are also pretty much post-punk to me.
