Any love for post-punk here? What are your favorite artists and albums?
I think my favorite album in the genre would depend on the day. To boot, I've recently discovered more and more 80s artists I never knew about like Modern Eon, Breathless, and And Also the Trees. There was something of a revival of the genre in the 00s with Interpol, the Strokes, the Editors and again now in the 10s with Savages, Iceage, Viet Cong, and Protomartyr. I think the one that's most recently been on repeat for me is Viet Cong's self-titled.

It's a sub-genre I've dabbled in before but am still a bit of a newb. Too many other artists to check out atm! But I'll get around to it eventually.

The post-punk bands that I like that come to mind are Interpol, The Creatures, and some of early Killing Joke (I prefer industrial metal-era Killing Joke though).
Some of my favorite post-punk albums: Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights The Creatures - Feast The Creatures - Anima Animus The Creatures - Hai! Killing Joke - What's THIS For

Turn on the Bright Lights is brilliant, pun intended. Killing Joke is great as well. I haven't really heard much outside their early era however.

^If you have an interest in checking out Industrial metal, I highly recommend Killing Joke's later albums.

^Cool. I imagine I'll probably find myself in an industrial metal phase sometime soon.

Yeah, i've been getting into a lot of post punk and post hardcore. Although it's a large umbrella term for different far ranging experimental sounds that can overlap with other rock sub genres. I guess i really like The Cure, Minutemen, Nice Cave and Bad Seeds, Violent Femmes, The Chameleons, This Heat, Swans, Devo, Echo and the Bunnymen, Bauhaus, This Mortal Coil, Midnight Oil, Husker Du, Fugazi, NoMeansNo, Big Black, Sonic Youth. I have lots more but these are the ones who have albums that fall into this category that i seem to like the best. Also like industrial stuff but don't really consider it punk related

^All great bands (I've not listened to Midnight Oil or NoMeansNo, though). Seeing Swans tomorrow actually.
You'd probably enjoy some of the bands on this list. Some surprisingly great and sometimes groundbreaking stuff. I found it by chance and have been checking out the bands listed this week. |

I know and dig Big Black, it was NoMeansNo I hadn't listened to. Unless you were posting those for everybody.

Nearly 15 years ago, I really dug post-punk and new wave acts, but it's been a while since I really feel like exploring this stuff.
Moreover, I'm surrounded by people sticking to a 1978-1983 period, and I'm a bit fed up with musicians trying to sound like "Suicide meet Siouxsie meet Pere Ubu meet Soft Cell". But last time I went to a record library, I rented some records by Siouxsie & the Banshees, the Monochrome Set and Cocteau Twins - that I still enjoy. |

^Well, I know what you mean. A lot of Chameleons-esque post-punk bands over here. Almost everyone where I live is trying to be a revivalist of something, though, so post-punk isn't really remarkable to me in that regard. I see far more groups in a psych or garage rock format. There are still some neat recent groups in all of these genres, though– a little more revisionist than some of the revivalists would be comfortable with.
