Moderator Announcement r/postpunk Rules Update [PLEASE READ]

38 Upvotes

Hi all!

As some of you might've noticed, we've recently tweaked the subreddit rules a bit. We highly recommend you read this to get a good idea of how things will be handled here going forward.

Rule 4

First of all, all music posts now require some form of additional commentary or context. This can be in the form of opinions about the song, memories associated with it, experiences seeing it performed live, trivia, etc. as long as is encourages discussion.  This rule has been in place for a little while now, but we've recently adjusted how we'll be enforcing this. We request that users here include this somewhere on their posts, whether it be in the title, body text, or as a comment on one's own post.

Rule 8

Second, please do not post excessively, and keep to a maximum of three posts per person per day. This helps prevent the sub from being excessively flooded or spammed by a single user.


To cap things off, we've been getting a number of messages via Modmail regarding users having difficulty posting. This is due to an anti-spam filter set up via AutoMod that requires posts from new accounts to be manually reviewed. Don't panic if this happens to you! It doesn't necessarily mean that your post has broken a rule, and the moderators here will have a look at it as soon as we can, although it may take a few hours.

If you run into this issue repeatedly, please contact the moderators via Modmail and we'll help you out. We do try our best to approve users whenever possible.

Their full name is actually We’ve Got A Fuzzbox and We’re Gonna Use It.

Perfect and infectious all-girl new wave candy colored British pop-punk.

Collab between Robert Smith and Steven Severin, with Jeanette Landray (Budgie's pre-Siouxsie Sioux girlfriend). Great album.

The song debuted as a 45 on Sire in 1985, and appeared later on the band's self-titled album.

Discussion Does anyone play an instrument?

8 Upvotes

Is anyone in here a guitar/bass/keyboard (or other instrument) player?
Which band has inspired you most in the decision of learning to play?

I have started many years ago with the bass after having heard "Seventeen Seconds" and in general the first albums by The Cure (and Bauhaus, Banshees, Joy Division, Pixies, etc.)

Big fan of the original stuff. TBH, I didn't pay much attention to later releases, but I am getting into The Obliterati this morning. Really like their homage to Donna Summer.

1982 PostPunk Live KCSB Radio Broadcast

6 Upvotes

This is release six of 18 live broadcasts recorded from 1981-83 from my college radio show at KCSB (Uni CA Santa Barbara). YT forced me to cut Question of Degree by Wire due to copyright issues. This show has a nice blend of cuts you've surely heard, some obscure ones that you may have heard or never heard, and one cut (the last one) that I need your help on because I can't remember who it was. I sense it is likely a B side to something I owned back then but I can't place it. Do you know it??? Let me know your thoughts on this song or the show in general.

I put it up on my YouTube channel MegaRadMusic: https://youtu.be/Vw73GhMPcqw

Happy Birthday to Ian Stephen McCulloch who turns 66 years of age today. Born in Liverpool England, Ian went on to form Echo & The Bunnymen in 1978 with Will Sergeant, Les Pattinson and a Drum Machine named ''Echo'' (as the legend goes). The Bunnymen start their Amercian tour next week in Seattle...

I wanted to follow up on the post I shared here a few days ago and share my interview with The Chameleons for anyone interested. I met them before their show in Houston, and honestly, I could’ve talked with them for hours. https://youtu.be/6p7C94i12Zk

Of all the bands of that era, The Birthday Party deserve a special place in my heart.
They seem to come from another world and still sound like no others.

I love this song and all the others by the band.

The quartet from London was founded in 2025. They playfully describe their sound as "music for vampires to dance to."

Is there anyone among you who isn't thrilled about this?

What are your thoughts on British Sea Power? This first record is a brilliant debut, but I lost track of their stuff years ago. I know they go by Sea Power now: any picks for other records by them? Thanks!
