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.

Sounds interesting, gonna check it out.
Here's the thread for that:

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.

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.

I'll definitely have to check it out.

^ I've listened to that a few times but it hasn't really sunk in. I really enjoy the ominous start of the album though.

Another one from DIÄT:

DIÄT - "Blue Skies Over the Ocean" (Positive Energy, 2015)

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.

I liked The New Life a lot already so I wasn't sure how I would receive this one, but I dig it and it seems to have more life/energy.
