one of the best post-punk songs you've probably never heard

You know, 9 times out of 10 when someone makes a claim like that I wind up underwhelmed, but in this case holy shit are you ever right! I've never heard of that song or that band before I really dig it. What's the name of the album it's from?

Glad you liked it! It's on the album From the Lion's Mouth by The Sound. I know what you mean with that claim being overused but I was pretty sure I'd be right on this one because "New Dark Age" is one of The Sound's lesser-known songs, and they're a somewhat obscure band to begin with. What post-punk do you like?

Oh, I like a lot of post-punk type stuff. Off the top of my head, some post-punk or post-punkish stuff I like:

Joy Division
Bauhaus
Gang of Four
Wall of Voodoo
The Church
The Cure
ESG
Pylon
Killing Joke
PiL
The Smiths
Alien Sex Fiend
Christian Death
Love & Rockets
Siouxsie & the Banshees

I like most of those, especially The Smiths, Joy Division, and The Cure. Bauhaus, not so much. I'd never heard of Pylon before reading your list, so I checked them out and liked some of what I listened to (particularly "Danger," "Cool," and "Feast on My Heart").
You should look into The Chameleons if you haven't yet.

(poor audio quality but contains 2 songs I'd recommend)

Pylon are awesome! Gyrate is such a sweet album.

The Chameleons are cool, I really have to be in the right mood to listen to them though. A lot of that 'dreamy' post punk stuff (Chameleons, Lowlife, some Cure albums, etc) isn't stuff I could just stick on and enjoy, I need to be in the proper mood for it.

I think I'm going to need to look up this band The Sound. I really enjoyed that song and could totally use them to help mix up some of my mixtapes I've been making on 8tracks.com I'm not really that big into post-punk minus the usual suspects like Joy Division, The Fall, and arguably Killing Joke.

The Sound don't sound half bad, might check them out.

This is pretty sweet yo, thanks for posting it.

Gyrate is frankly great - have you checked out their other albums? I've been meaning to.

I'll third the Chameleons recommendation... Strange Times is a godly album and one of my post-punk picks, but they're pretty consistent in general really.

Not as of yet, but I've also been meaning to. I'm gonna try find their second album just now, I'll hit you up with a link if I've any luck :)
