why though? they've had a concert canceled particularly because of it, and they've declared the band name was chosen on a whim. i think gauging backlash between bands with incidentally and intentionally offensive names is kind of pointless; one band's lack of criticism shouldn't excuse another band. i think you could have used better examples, though.

good on them for going through with the name change.

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.

Gotta say, pretty disappointed in myself with my huge lists of band a couple pages back that consisted mostly of non post punk bands. It was one of those moments where you think you know what a modern day version of an old genre sounds like but ends up being completely not the case. Turns out I just had no idea what the f*ck new post punk was supposed to sound like.

This is why I'm not a fan of genres. I suck at them.

Only Sidewinder and I will understand

I started listening to this record today, unbeknownst that this a post-punk band wrapped in gothic, industrial, & black metal chic. Recommending if you like any of these genres.

The new Girls Names album is quite good. Got the limited cream-colored vinyl last week.

I'm really enjoying it. I like it a thousand times better than The New Life.
