First off, I know viet cong/preoccupations has a polarizing effect on you guys but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other current (or past) post-punk bands similar to them. I've checked out DIAT, Protomartyr, Merchandise and a handful of other bands but nothing is scratching the itch that Preoccupations' "March of Progress" or "Continental Shelf" gives me.
Also, does anyone know where I could find the Viet Cong cassette ep? It seems to have disappeared from the internet.

Research the sticky.

>album starts with droning

Already love Women, they're what led me to preoccupations, thanks to my undying love for Chad Vangaalen. Have you seen the animated tribute to Chris Reimer? It's cool. Shame that guy had to go and die.
Their new name fucking sucks. Seriously, "Veitcong" was a great name for a punk band.
Robert White
Added! Thanks!

>First off, I know viet cong/preoccupations has a polarizing effect on you guys really? news to me although I havent heard the new one since its not even out yet.
Austin Nelson
It was perfect! Same with Andrew Jackson Jihad. I don't understand these bands changing their names to be more PC. I mean, I kind of get it in that they want to reach a wider audience but, come on. If they aren't offended by AJJ's lyrics they certainly won't be offended by the name. Preoccupations doesn't have as crazy lyrics but seriously, who's offended by that?
Aaron Scott
Is this the only band to have two self titled records, each with a different name?
Jackson Jackson
Probably because them changing their name makes people think it makes them "cucks"
Also, spoonfeeding thread

Logan Ortiz
This heat are one of my favorite bands, trust me when i say Preoccupations wouldn't exist without them. so much influence is present
Adam Stewart
Only half the member in Women are in Viet Congoccupations, they're not the same band
Alexander Cook
Look up all the Cindy Lee shit Singer from Women, the band before Viet Cong's solo project that's super droney Listen to Public Strain by Women first though; there's a decently obvious dichotomy between the really droney stuff and really technical guitar interplay that Viet Cong did a bunch on their first album and from there check out Act of Tenderness and Malenkost
Nolan Torres
Seriously this. Cindy Lee is probably the best band currently making music. The noise / no wave / drone / pop mix is fantastic.
Brayden Taylor
>Post-punk with heavy drone influences? You know we're barely better than Sup Forums
Angel Torres
Beneath the Commons is the only song I haven't liked so far. I hope this is a Beach Boys cover or something.
