>they keep reposting 30-year old shit
Pathetic.
Carson Scott
Post-Punk peaked in the late 70s and early 80s. Fuck your hipster revival shit.
Owen Morgan
crap
Andrew Barnes
>probably only heard Isreal or Spellbound
>hasn't explored their massive discography
Josiah Johnson
Charm me with your Ape bands from this century
Ian Murphy
Minutemen
Luis Thompson
Probably Passions, Echo, Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie and pic related
Luis Davis
Juju and the scream are boring and forgettable albums
Josiah Jenkins
IIIII DAAAAAAREEEEE YOUUUUUUU
TO BE REAL
Hunter Rogers
They build on everything that was great from the bands posted here and take it to the next level:

Evan Fisher
Juju is one of the greatest goth/post-punk albums of all time. What are you on about?
Ryder Phillips
TO TOOOOUCH
Zachary Walker
the foo fighters
Ayden Flores
A FLICKERING FLAME
Grayson Myers
>next level
The fucking song is literally nothing catchy, has generic vocals and instruments sounding like the 80s without the 80s production
Fucking next level your ass
The little melodic hook at the end picks up the song a bit which still isnt enough to make it anything worthwhile
Robert Nelson
THE PAAAAAAAANGS
THE PANGS OF DARK DELIGHT
Julian Sanders
That's true, but have you ever listened to The Soft Moon?
thesoftmoon.bandcamp.com
Aaron Gonzalez
That's just one song and they have literally hundreds. Anything is better that playing and parroting same bands over and over though.
Blake Morales
Okay, I'll give you that. The Soft Moon is great.
Jose Allen
Which seems like what they are doing with this song (provided any other songs of theirs sound vastly different), and it seems that all of those revival acts don't have anything new to offer making me stuck listening to older stuff whilst searching for modern acts that could actually grip my ears for longer than 2 seconds
Of course that kvb song isn't bad but it's basically lazy songwriting, and the same applies to the soft moon which I think you mentioned above, and shit like the horrors too
Ryan Thomas
What is she looking at?
Isaiah Ward
Don't forget Black Marble either.
blackmarble.bandcamp.com
Aaron Miller
U2
Isaiah Anderson
The Birthday Party
Isaac Ward
That wasn't me posting soft moon, but they are ok I guess. I saw them live and was less than impressed unlike the kvb.
I do agree with you about the modern revival acts in general doing a poor job, but I bet there are some out there and it would be cool if we could post more than just bands from the 80s when talking about post-punk.
Daniel Adams
Soviet Soviet is one of the better revival bands. I think they blow bands like Interpol out of the water.
Jaxon Parker
Thoughts on Drab Majesty?
Tyler Green
not super memorable outside a few songs which I really love
Logan Bell
...
Wyatt Allen
This is the greatest album to come out of anything punk related
Asher Rodriguez
...
Asher Ward
What did he mean by this?
Jaxson Lewis
Deceit is the greatest experimental post-punk album ever made
Landon Sullivan
Seriously no mention of Joy Division?
Ayden Murphy
Joy division is too patrician for these plebs.
Justin Young
Cocteau Twins. Specifically this song:
youtube.com
Joy Division is ok. If you're under the impression and they're the best goth band out there, then you probably haven't listened to very many.
William Clark
>joy division is okay
>posts cocteau twins claiming they're superior
Xavier Baker
The Clash
Adam Gutierrez
It's a numbers game. JD had two masterpieces, CT had at least four (and that's not counting EPs). I don't make the rules, buddy.
Kevin Robinson
>post-punk
yeah no
Blake Murphy
My fucking band faggots tonguesofire.bandcamp.com
Landon Wood
Jds albums are about 8/10 each tHe coccs clock in at around 4-5 at their peak
Benjamin Carter
You can go on being wrong, I guess.
Joy Division was some pretty amateur-ish, not great musicians doing a boring version of punk rock. It's alright for angsty pop music. But it's nothing special. Cocteau Twins, on the other hand, were genuinely wonderful musicians with a singer doing something entirely original. They're objectively the better band.
Carson Davis
Jeopardy >>>>> H&H
Ayden Rivera
The best Post Punk band
Jordan Gray
These threads are tough because post-punk and post-hardcore are clearly the most interesting corners of popular music. There's just so much experimentation and so many juicy bits, it's hard to pick a favorite. My vote is probably Dub Housing, but you could make a case for 20 other albums, and it'd be tough to argue against them.
Ian Lee
Cocteau Twins brought an approach that was so unique that it was off-putting. That she was singing pretty much syllables in a borderline holy voice is initially very hard to get your head around and it's hard to cross that threshold of embracing and giving yourself over to it. But no one I know that let themselves get to that point has ever looked back.
These as well.
Matthew Harris
Id rather listen to an amateur guy with a unique voice accompanied by catchy riffage rather than a generic feMale voice that's not catchy at all
Robert Carter
>Not catchy at all
youtube.com
Anthony Reyes
The Wake. Here comes everybody is a golden album
Jaxon Brooks
>all these posts
>no Gang of Four
baka my head
Dominic Mitchell
Compare that to day of the lords and it's puny, generic ape-Ass tomfoolery
by the way The fucks wrong witchu praising the joys saying they released two masterpieces and then calling it a boring version of punk rock, you fucking think every record to have ever been put out is a masterpiece of some sort? Intolerable
Kayden Rogers
idk but it's definitely not the Cure
candidates:
The Ex - Mudbird Shivers
Gang of Four - Entertainment!
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
The Pop Group - Y
In fact, I just made up my mind (pic related)
It's a real shame that Go4 didn't develop in as consistent a way as some of their contemporaries, like Killing Joke
Have a video:
youtube.com
I'm really drunk
I love fucking love Syrah
I've never been into drinking alone before
Syrah will be my undoing
Ryder Russell
Lowlife
The Bolshoi
Wipers
Noah Rodriguez
I've never really considered Wipers a post-punk band. I know they're dark, and they're obviously way smarter (and noisier) than most of their contemporaries, but their sound is so earthy and garage-y that I never felt comfortable grouping them in with cold, mechanical, atmospheric groups like Joy Division. I don't know what to call them - they're too early and much like 70s punk to be called post-hardcore, and "proto-grunge" isn't a thing...
Oliver Reyes
You can call them what Greg Sage calls them, just a punk band.
Christian Reyes
Hang in there buddy, don't ever think you're alone out there.
Ryder Turner
I wasn't the original user shitting all over JD, I just saw you claiming that Cocteau Twins weren't catchy when the album Treasure is filled with catchy and melodic songs. JD and CTs are both good, just on opposite sides of the post-punk spectrum.
Joshua Evans
Bumping because post-punk is better than punk.
Leo Evans
...yet all we have for both are just bands from 40+ years ago.
Jacob Young
Mgmt.
Mason Foster
Why....
Adam Wood
Probably Wire or PiL.
Brody Jenkins
Love Demonstration to death.
It's derivative for sure but it's the sound I can't get enough of.
Joshua Hughes
New Order, fella.
Kevin James
Marry me mate.
Adrian Adams
...
Tyler Mitchell
Scary Monsters is better and is more post punk
Gavin Cooper
This, early New Order is GOAT
Joseph Cook
The Police
Come on guys I'm, ashamed of you
Christopher Miller
what genre set does Lodger have?
Nolan Brown
poppy gay band and full on soyboy
Sebastian Mitchell
The raincoats are the most underrated
Blake Clark

Logan Gutierrez

Jose Gray
no CT album is as good as either JD albums. even les bains douches is better than all CT albums.
Nicholas Hughes
i wouldn't go as far as to say they weren't catchy. cherry coloured funk has the best bridge into the last chorus of any pop song i've ever heard. it is genius.
Ryan Martin
This is also the only song by them that has 'grown' on me (I've given the album and some others a few tries during my existence) and I do like it, a genuinely good song, but the other songs are a few levels lower in terms of songwriting, just nothing really gripping
Jace Mitchell
>TFW you get an interest in listening to post punk after listening to Bjorks early work in KUKL and Purrkur Pillnikk
>There just so happens to be a thread with people sperging about their favourite albums
This is why Sup Forums is the best board.
Entertainment is great!
Eli Thomas
>eye roll arrested development gif
we are reaching bottom levels of T that shouldn't be possible
Blake Allen
The Fall. Thought they were crap at first, but when it clicked I realised they were indomitable.
Kevin James
the fall are quite possibly the greatest band of all time
Nathaniel Sanchez
they weren't crap at first wtf you on about
