Who Was The First Post-Punk Band?

I think it was throbbing gristle. they recorded the 1st annual report in '75 and pretty much created industrial. Television was also one of those proto-post-punk bands dating back to '73. I know there are some no wave bands that date back to '75 as well but they didnt put out anything until the no new york record.

so who do you think was the first post-punk sounding band?

What does industrial have to do with post-punk again?

You can target a good start date for post-punk in 1976 or thereabouts. So whoever released a post-punk album in 1976 created it.

It was me. I created it.

Well it can`t be Devo, their first album came out in 1978.

1973 man, they released an album of demos, some of their best songs.

Wouldn't proto-post-punk be... punk?

You mean the inacessible demos that Brian Eno refused to put on the debut album!!! Luckily, Brian Eno`s decision prevailed and we ended up with one of the great debut albums of the late 70`s.
