The Pop Group “We Are All Prostitutes”
Classic jams from one of my favorite uk post punk groups. Raw, dark dub influenced stuff, kinda similar to Public Image Limited in that, but rather different. Really good stuff.
just uploaded my first youtube vid, moral hex, the jokes on us. this is our brand new stuff.
This is super awesome! Moral Hex is the shit!
Amazing downloadable compilations of Los Angeles based punk, post punk, new wave, diy, power pop, weirdo nonsense, underground rock n roll from 1977-1987 with great/informative “liner notes” of each post. Rhino records should give this blogger a job. These mixes are fucking great.
Agreed! I’m listening to the first one, it’s fucking awesome! I only knew a handful of the bands, most are new to me, and it’s a really good mix of styles. Very interesting compilations, will be looking into more on the bands featured.
A classic, everyone should be familiar with this song, older or younger.
Malaria! - You, You
I’ve posted this before, but yeah. Malaria! rule. Classic post punk jams.
Lizzy Mercier Descloux - Herpes Simplex (Rosa Yemen)
The album by Rosa Yemen is my favorite stuff from Lizzy so far, I love the jagged yet intricate compositions, they were really ahead of their time, kind of a precursor to a lot of post rock stuff that would come later. I’d say that Sonic Youth definitely owes them a big debt, but they owe everyone in in that scene a debt really.
I do enjoy Lizzy’s solo work as well, though not quite as much. Hopefully it’ll grow on me though.
The Mob - No Doves Fly Here
I’ve been getting into more anarcho punk stuff lately, primarily the post punk leaning stuff rather than crust and d-beat or whatever (that stuff is ok but most of it isn’t my thing, though I dig darker stuff like Amebix).
I really dig what I’ve heard of the Mob, and this track in particular is great. I need to check out more of their stuff. I think they only released one album?
Knetics ( live at reed college, 1980)
I can’t find any info on this band, but they are really good. This is apparently from a documentary called Northwest Passage - The Birth Of Portland’s D.I.Y. Culture, which I’d really like to see. But yeah, these are really good dark post punk jams.
Jeri Rossi - I left my heart but I don’t know where
WHOA… This is some intensely good stuff, very awesome no wave kinda stuff. Jeri Rossi was in Your Funeral, who I dig a lot, but this is a much more experimental, free jazz / no wave sound with really good spoken/ sung vocals, screaming raw sax, and a loose kind of goth jazz backing track… really good stuff. If you like no wave / more abrasive post punk, you will probably dig this.
