Summary :

Post-Punk

Growing out of the punk movements of the late '70s in both Europe and North America, this is the birth place of what is now referred to as alternative. A group of bands tied together by their counterculture spirit, use of electronics, deep dub-bass and knowing defiance of accepted rock conventions. After the punk explosion of 76-77 and after all that chaos, violence, attitude and fun came a time to transform the sounds and the style into darker more introspective realms. Whereas punk used traditional rock and roll structures, the Post-Punk style used influences as varied as Jamaican reggae, french philosophy, synthesisers and latino-disco funk to promote their metropolitan world view.

The main cities involved in the Post-Punk emergence was New York and Manchester, UK. Bands like Talking Heads, Joy Division, The Fall, Blondie, Pere Ubu were all different in form, but all promoted clever, wry, stylish and jaunty rhythms that spanned both rock venue and nightclub. All had a common ground of being experimental and all will influence future generations of musician and artist. http://www.corduroy.com.au/chapter/can'tstopit.html Can't Stop Can't Stop, a compilation of Australian post punk/new wave tunes. http://www.piccadillyrecords.co.uk/ Piccadilly Records Mancunian dealer that covers all the classic genres: Post-Punk, Kraut-Rock, Punk-Funk.
