For fans obsessed with the quest for an essence rare that lay at the heart of what soon became known as "post-punk," the Feelies offered direct, body-rocking access. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Yup, you heard right: perhaps due to Dave Ghoul's (sp?) arena-rock band Food Fighters's (sp?) success at reviving '70s AOR hits like 'Baker Street' and 'Band On the Run' for the (likely) one-radio-station-per-city-market that plays Radiohead, Interpol, and Nine Inch Nails (say), Dick has decided to drag our post-punk musical culture backwards as well! ❋ Christopher Snyder (2011)
All a refreshing change from "write what you know", but Summer Camp's music is a far cry from the stadium post-punk of Simple Minds and Psychedelic Furs. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Pow Wow was a little more eclectic -- more girl groups and pop songs in addition to post-punk and glam rock, we think. ❋ Fritz Hahn (2011)
For those unfamiliar, Wedren began his career fronting the seminal Washington, DC post-punk outfit Shudder to Think, a band that helped define the scenes in the '80s and '90s. ❋ Mike Ragogna (2011)
The influence of these mostly white post-punk groups comes through in the squalling, abrasive sound of the records he produced, which had little in common with the smooth funk backings preferred by the earliest rappers. ❋ Tim Marchman (2011)
And just as post-punk emerged to offer a way forward, so a term that's been springing up rather a lot this year is "post-dubstep". ❋ Unknown (2011)
Some of the perpetrators over the past decade include Interpol (who vividly recall post-punk bands like Joy Division), Amy Winehouse ('60s pop-R&B, from Motown to Dusty Springfield), the Black Crowes (early-'70s Rolling Stones), and Oasis ("Revolver"-era Beatles). ❋ Michael Azerrad (2011)
Like a post-punk Werner Herzog, the documentary producer has visited many of the strangest outposts on the planet, hanging out in tranvestite mosques and exposing the secrets of psychotropic jungle toads. ❋ Steve Dollar (2012)
But it was rough even at the dawn of the new century when the Strokes emerged from the Lower East Side read: Dwight School with their post-punk guitars and biscuit-tin drums to capture a city's insouciant attitude and inveigle the rest of the country with it. ❋ Andy Beta (2011)
She recorded her first album of country and blues covers for Smithsonian Folkways but wound up on post-punk label Rough Trade by the end of the 1980s. ❋ Andy Beta (2011)
Officiating on launch night will be the resident DJs, playing obscure bands and genres du jour including post-punk, Italo disco, synth-pop, no wave, machine funk and art-rock. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Live acts include post-punk trio Factory Floor, whose sparse instrumental electronica recalls a certain early-80s, Factory Records-era bleakness, happily counterbalanced by Retro/Grade, recent darlings of the summer festival circuit and purveyors of camped-up, Italo disco. ❋ Unknown (2011)
For the Chanel show at the Grand Palais on Monday, which Lagerfeld started planning months ago, he sent out a stream of dark, almost menacing post-punk gray suits and gowns down a runway surrounded by smoking black rocks and gravel. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Like a post-punk "Ocean's Eleven," Alex Cox's 1987 Spaghetti Western rounded up a motley crew of musician pals the Clash' Joe Strummer, the Pogues, Elvis Costello, Grace Jones and a teenaged Courtney Love, added what must have been considerable supplies of alcohol, and turned them loose in the arid desolation of the Spanish desert. ❋ Steve Dollar (2011)
Mr. Reynolds, 48, uses as his gold standard the music of his youth (post-punk) and the music that clinched his professional reputation (rave); he presents few, if any, upsides to the digitalization of music and instead remembers fondly his visits to the local record shop. ❋ Michael Azerrad (2011)
Certainly, that's where the young band seem to be on the strength of their debut album New Brigade, a well-produced, claustrophobic and at times intimidating surge of post-punk energy, slightly gothy, but with impressive dynamics. ❋ Unknown (2011)
