there's no such thing as a post punk band of the 2000s because post punk is not an easily definable genre, rather more of a time period

post punk happened 30 years ago


i think i went on a rant about this a long time ago

Echo and the Bunnymen before This Heat or Wire?

Scandal!

See, I'd consider Wire "art punk".

...fuck it.

there's tonnes of stuff like this around at the moment, check out these labels:

siltbreeze
s-s records
fashionable idiots
sacred bones
columbus discount

also, The World's Lousy With Ideas series of compilations

my favourite 21st Century band in this category is Teenage Panzerkorps

Gonna check out World's Lousy, this is the second time I've heard good things about them. I really like what I've heard from Fashionable Idiots. That Condominium 7" sounds badass. Teenage Panzerkorps sounded too derivative the first time around but I'll give em another shot.
