10:14 PM |
| Joy Division The Kill Still Rhino 2007 Compilation released by surviving members of Joy Division following the death of Ian CUrtis. Album consisted of rare and previously unreleased cuts. "Still" was recorded during the Unknown Pleasures sessions. |
10:16 PM |
| Metal Boys New Maiden Tokio Airport Acute Records 2004 French post-punk band formed after the disolution of synth-punk band Metal Urbain. |
10:24 PM |
| Nina Hagen Future Is Now Nunsexmonkrock SMI 1982 Debut solo LP from the German singer who rose to musical fame in the late 70s with her punk rock looks and theatrics. |
10:27 PM |
| Big Boys Movies The Skinny Elvis Touch and Go Records 1993 Early 80s Austin punk band that blended punk into its sound. Often shared the stage with The Dicks. |
10:29 PM |
| The Avengers We Are the One Avengers Devoted Ruins 2012 San Francisco punk band. Opened for the Sex Pistol during an American tour. Steve Jones liked the band enough that he recorded the first Avengers EP. |
10:32 PM |
| X-Ray Spex I Am a Poseur Germ Free Adolescents (Deluxe Version) Castle Music 2001 1978 classic from that UK punk explosion. Only studio release by the band... up until 1995's surprising Conscious Consumer LP. |
10:34 PM |
| Bags Survive Dangerhouse Volume 1 Frontier 1991 Short-lived Los Angeles punk band fronted by singer, writer, and activist Alice Bag. Included on the documentary The Decline of Western Civilization. |
10:37 PM |
| Dicks Anti-Klan, Pt. 2 Kill from the Heart / Hate the Police Alternative Tentacles 2012 Big Boys stage mates and my favorite 80s Texan punk band. Fronted by the openly gay Gary Floyd, whose lyrics attacking the police and military, along with satirical lyrics on taboo subjects, made him a pariah within the local Texan conservative community. |
10:45 PM |
| Disco Zombies Here Come the Buts Drums Over London Acute 2011 Third single from this overlooked late 70s English punk band. Thanks again to Acute Records for shining some light on them last decade. |
10:49 PM |
| X Movin' On At Home With You Laneway Music 2015 Australian punk band X, not to be confused with the Los Angeles punk band of the same letter. Australia's X had a heavier and darker bluesy punk sound. Bet lots of booze was involved. Or maybe that's just Australia. |
10:52 PM |
| Volcano Suns Descent Into Hell The Bright Orange Years Merge Records 2009 Remind you of Mission of Burma? Probably because Volcano Suns were formed by MoB drummer Peter Prescott. Also, Bob Weston played bass for a stretch. |
10:55 PM |
| Units Bug Boy History of the Units: The Early Years 1977-1983 Community Library 2009 San Francisco synth-punk band that eschewed guitars entirely, almost religiously so. |
10:57 PM |
| Sunday Painters Rebel Rebel In My Dreams What's Your Rupture 2015 More overlooked 80s post-punk, this time by way of Australia. Heard here covering David Bowie. |
11:01 PM |
| Shopping No Show Why Choose Dead Funny Records 2015 Second studio LP from this English post-punk band, in the vain of Gang of Four and the Au Pairs. |
11:04 PM |
| Protomartyr In My Sphere No Passion All Technique Domino Recording Co 2019 2012 debut LP from this Detroit band and opening cut. Squint hard enough and you'll think you're listening to The Fall. Original LP was released in limited quantities and fetched a pretty-penny in the secondary market. Prices died down upon the LP's re-release. |
11:08 PM |
| The Nomads Psycho Showdown! (1981-1993) Sympathy for the Record Industry 2011 Swedish garage punk active since 1981 with a cool Sonics cover. |
11:10 PM |
| Naked Raygun I Remember All Rise Quarterstick Records 1985 Influential 80s punk band from Chicago and a favorite of Steve Albini's (Big Black, Shellac fame). |
11:12 PM |
| The Misfits Come Back Static Age Astralwerks 1997 Originally recorded in 1978, this would have marked the Misfits' first studio LP. Except it was not released decades later, following several other LPs. Before then, it was only available through bootlegs, then Misfits compilations, before seeing a proper solo release. |
11:23 PM |
| METZ Spit You Out II Royal Mountain Records 2017 As you can guess from the album title, this is the second studio LP from this Canadian noise-punk band. |
11:28 PM |

11:43 PM |
| Jesu Brave New World Ascension Caldo Verde Records 2011 Noisy project -yet calmly so- from Napalm Death and Godflesh founder Justin Broadrick. |
11:47 PM |
| feedtime All Down The Aberrant Years Sub Pop Records 2012 Austrlian noisy blues rock band. Didn't call themselves punk or post-punk. Sub Pop released the band's 80s studio LPs on this in-depth box set. |
11:50 PM |
| Fugazi Pink Frosty End Hits Dischord 1998 Goodnight!
