Suffering For Kisses – Change Tony D’Oporto aka Suffering For Kisses has always had a deadpan vocal style to run alongside his blend of moody inspired darkwave beats. But on Change he turns in his best vocal effort to date sounding something like Johnny Cash fronting a post-punk band. This is good, really good. Facebook The Harrow – Beyond Stars The Harrow return with a … Continue reading Post Punk Tuesday

Another round-up of post-punk, synth-pop and goth-rock via a YouTube playlist. Maybe I should have kept some of these tracks back for the end of the month and for the Halloween kitchen/living room dancefloors! BlakLight – Unknown Love (Facebook – Buy) Sara Stuttgart – Женщина в Колодце (Facebook – Buy) undertheskin – End This Summer (Facebook – Buy) The Last Passenger – If It Was … Continue reading Pandemia

A quartet of post-punk tunes with some nice video accompaniment on the side! True Faith – Feel The follow up to the True Faith’s self-titled debut EP has been out since last month. Feel is an addictive listen with enough synth hooks to catch a shoal of fish as the song blends synthpop and goth influenced music to great effect. Feel can be purchased from … Continue reading Post Punk Tuesday
This weeks pack of three concentrates on three new or recent post-punk releases. The City Gates – Siegfried 1969 Montreal post-punk band The City Gates have released their new single Siegfried 1969. It’s a pulsating and addictive coldwave/gothic rock song. I was a bit confused as to why they were singing in German rather than French or English, given their native city, but have since … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? Three (More) Post-Punk
The Dreams Never End are from Lisbon and this song was originally recorded for the Polis Noire compilation by Portuguese label Z22 which, not for the want of trying, I cannot find anywhere. Vai is a slice of synthpop that edges further into darker territory as the song progresses with some swirling, haunting keyboard sounds accompanying the vocals. Grasshopper hail from Brighton and, in their … Continue reading The Sunday Post-Punk Session
The late May bank holiday listening session is primarily synthpop and coldwave. Surely even the “indiest” indie kid needs some coldwave and synth-pop in their lives….. Personal Touch – Egami The label of Australian two-piece Personal Touch writes that they draw “heavily on influences from new wave and post-punk”. The four tracks may initially sound a bit too dancey for the average coldwave/post-punk fan but … Continue reading The Bank Holiday Session
The new single from Los Angeles based Mo Dotti is a dreamy shoegaze song but with forsaken words. The vocals seems sad and lonely as they blend with the fitful but sometimes wavering guitars. It’s hard not to sigh with the feelings of desolation the song brings. Mesmermising. Facebook Continue reading Mo Dotti – Inverted Skies
The new single from Cold Cave is a cover of Absolute Body Control‘s Waving Hands. It stays faithful to the original although sounding darker and denser. Get it from here whilst the original version is available here. Warsaw Pact have released an album of demos called, erm Demos (2016-2109). The release includes two previously unheard demos in the shape of Made by Design & Discshop … Continue reading Post-Punk Sunday
