Maybe I just don't know what the f*ck post punk is supposed to sound like anymore. My mind may have calculated progression with the sound I guess. Anyway, here are some more that some of you might have problems with. That was a joke.

This song still makes me melt, it's like everything I want music to be. Same for "Silhouettes" really.

This band is great. I saw them this summer at Wayhome festival and "Death" conjured up one of the best mosh pits I've ever been in.

They are changing their name soon.

I respect their decision, though I still have mixed feelings. Ultimately the music is what matters, like they said, but I still hope they pick a good name. Fucking internets, this wouldn't be happening if people didn't always have to share their opinions about everything.

I like these. But Baston and Straight Arrows are garage rock (even garage pop), Royal Headache more like garage punk and power pop.

I think I'll check out more from those bands. I already had Royal Headache in my queue but hadn't heard that song.

Yet Anal Cunt, Fucked Up, even fucking New Order don't get haggled like Viet Cong. That goes without saying they're pussies for changing it.

I hope they change it to 'Viet Cong Killed Your Grandpappy, You Whiny Bitches'.

I used to Jam with Matt Flegels (viet cong singer/bassist) younger brother. Most of the family seemed very musical. Also Women (which consisted of a lot of current Viet Cong members) was really influential on my local scene. Any Women fans here?

I recently made a little post punk instrumental you guys may like not sure if it is okay to post it here. Highly inspired by the XL Capris a some what forgotten Aussie post punk band.
