Jenni Sex – Treasures

Tom

São Paulo based post-punk band Jenni Sex will be releasing their debut album for Wave Records later this year. The band, whose influences include The Cure, The Chameleons and The Sound to name but a few, have released the first single from the album. Called Treasures it invokes that classic eighties sound that one associates with the darker side of the genre and I can imagine this one going down well on dance-floors at Goth clubs across the land. Now, where have I seen that cover art before? Treasures is available digitally from the usual digital outlets including Bandcamp. Facebook Continue reading Jenni Sex – Treasures

Liiek – S/T

Tom

Berlin post-punk band Liiek release their self titled debut album next month. Currently there are four tracks available for streaming. These follow the direction of the art-punk sounds of The Fire Engines, The Scars and Josef K as well as the revivalists such as Navvy and Franz Ferdinand. The guitars are raw & sharp whilst the vocals have a literary, sometimes shouty, feel about them. It sounds flippin’ great! The band also contribute the non-album track Consent to the ACHTUNG ADK compilation recently released via the German label Billo. The album will be available in vinyl and digital formats which … Continue reading Liiek – S/T

Post-Punk Sunday

Tom

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 Inquisition. Maybe it’s one for the fans who are familiar with the originals but given it’s available on a pay what you want basis it’s also a good introduction to the band. Midnight Cure always … Continue reading Post-Punk Sunday

Weekend Round Up #2

Tom

I am writing this one later than expected and as I listen, being a nice varied mix on this blustery Sunday Night. Australian indiepop legends Even As We Speak will be releasing a new album on Shelflife Records and Discos De Kirlian in June. Forgiving is the first single to be lifted from said album and it is, as you would expect from the band, to be a lovely twee/c86 inspired slab of pop music. The band play London’s Lexington on March 28th supported by Jetstream Pony and The Hannah Barberas. Guess who can’t make it – sigh. Talking of … Continue reading Weekend Round Up #2

Plenērs – Būris

Tom

Plenērs hail from Riga and on new track Būris they supply a tasty slice of new wave inspired post-punk which contains enough hooks and melodies to declare it anthem like. Well almost! Let me give it another couple of spins first. As Google Translate failed to decipher the band’s native Latvian into English I have no idea what the song is about. I hope is not doom and gloom as I would then feel guilty about jumping around to this one. Or maybe not. Superb artwork too. Facebook Continue reading Plenērs – Būris
