Founding members Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson are working closer together now than ever before in their 45-year recording history, creating their most coherent album yet. Discussing the new album, the band’s guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, Martin, talks about ACR’s current relationship, working with producer Dan Carey, Jez’s morphine induced lyric writing and […]
- [2024](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2024-1): NICK CAVE + THE BAD SEEDS @ O2 ARENA, LONDON The band’s first full lineup-written studio album release in 8 years, ‘Wild God’, saw them embark on a European tour to promote the release and play widely from the new track list, doing two consecutive nights at the O2 as part of their 28 dates. The Bad Seeds are headed by Nick Cave (vocals, piano) and Warren Ellis (backing vocals, guitar, violin, keyboards) and began their set on the new tracks, performing ‘Frogs’ and the album title track ‘Wild God’ – both full of uplifting gospel backing from a choir […]
- [2023](https://postpunk.co.uk/talk/2023-2): DAVID THOMAS: PERE UBU – WORRIED MAN BLUES The experimental art, noise group release the next chapter of their journey following 2019’s ‘The Long Goodbye’, which waved off the band’s first phase following a grand total of 18 studio albums. Pere Ubu now begin a new chapter and, almost 4 years on from their last album, founder and songwriter David Thomas brings together a fresh lineup to tell this story. The new record, ‘Trouble On Big Beat Street’, fuses noir-style cool jazz and Southern blues with hyperactive dance-pop rhythms and nonsensical lyrics that takes particular inspiration from David’s love of […]
- [2023](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2023-1): SUEDE @ ELECTRIC BRIXTON, LONDON Finally delivering their postponed sold out three-night London residency, the band performed songs from their new studio album, ‘Autofiction’, released in 2022; an autobiographical work that frontman and band founder, Brett Anderson, called their most punk rock album ever. Anderson arrived onstage after a noise intro, opening on the new album with autobiographical track ‘She Still Leads Me On’, jumping up onto the monitor at the edge of the stage and extenuating his vocals in a fit of energy, summarising why he is one of the greatest frontmen of his generation. He continued to perform […]
- [April](https://postpunk.co.uk/april): The Zombies – Begin Here (Beechwood Park) Marking its 60th anniversary last year, the Zombies’ 1965 debut album is now remastered in mono in the month of its original release as the band always intended it, which follows on from the reissue of the critically acclaimed ‘Odessey and Oracle’ in mono last year, with ‘Begin Here’ now the second of four remastered albums the band is reissuing. This definitive new edition also combines all 17 tracks from the UK and US version track lists. Overseen by Matthew and Jamie White (sons of founding member Chris White) and mastered by Reuben […]
- [March](https://postpunk.co.uk/releases/march): Squeeze – Trixies (BMG) Written by original Squeeze members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook when they were just teenagers, the band’s first studio album in nine years is conceptualised. Themed on a mythical nightclub, the thirteen tracks are a homage to ‘Trixies’ and their earliest songwriting, technically making this the band’s real first album and their earliest songwriting. Dreamy opening track ‘What More Can I Say’ is a slow nostalgic dazzle at the end of the night with the tribute “Trixies is alright”; the bubbling acoustics of ‘You Get the Feeling’ continuing the utopia vibe of a club filled with […]
- [February](https://postpunk.co.uk/releases/february): CAN – Live in Paris 1973 (Mute) This compilation is the fourth release in a series of live albums that commemorate the Krautrock improvisional group at the height of their formation during 1973-1976, recorded at live shows from various locations in Germany and Europe. It’s a live recording of five tracks they performed at L’Olympia, Paris and, quite poignantly, this record coincides with the recent and shocking passing of Can’s vocalist Damo Suzuki just weeks before its release, who originally joined the group in 1970 alongside Michael Karoli (guitar), Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), Holger Czukay (bass) and Jaki Liebenzeit (drums). As […]

The film was released in 2023 and premiered at the BFI London film festival. The 22-piece track list delves into the subterranean, weird world of the Scala cinema which […]

After randomly picking up two classic post-punk CDs from a HMV store while at university in Liverpool and seeing a photography exhibition featuring the Simon Reynolds quote at the bottom of this page, Ayisha Khan, London based qualified journalist, created an archive by single […]

The album, having been released on an American label, is a strange mix of Americana alternative rock and Wobble’s own basslines. It opens on the spoken word narration styled, ‘Last Exit’, about the esoteric experience of being in America and the sensory overload of its culture, featuring a voice encoded chorus and guitar parts by Wobble’s album collaborator and friend […]

- [2022](https://postpunk.co.uk/releases/2022-0): Blancmange – Private View (London Records) Following several lockdown releases including their last studio albums ‘Commercial Break’ (2021) and ‘Mindset’ (2020), the band, headed by their sole founding member Neil Arthur (vocals), enter the 40th year since their debut album, ‘Happy Families’, with another new record. It begins on a track composed during lockdown: ‘What’s Your Name’, which, in Arthur’s manner of the mundane, describes the phenomena of social distancing no contact; its abrasive electronics and percussion are testament to the skills of producer Benge (with whom Arthur also works with on his other project, Fader) who, as an electronic […]

The band’s ‘World Tour in One Night’ was performed as an online stream from the infamous Abbey Road studios, where their original lineup had recorded ‘Odessey & Oracle’ more than half a century earlier, with founding remaining members Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent now at the helm. Ahead of the stream Colin spoke via Zoom about how much he was looking forward to performing live again, his memories of returning to Abbey Road since all those […]
- [2021](https://postpunk.co.uk/releases/2021-0): Barry Adamson – Let’s Steal Away (Mute) Back with a new EP, Barry Adamson releases four new tracks to coincide with the launch of his recent autobiography ‘Up Above The City, Down Beneath The Stars’. The release opens with the title song ‘Let’s Steal Away’, which mixes Spaghetti Western dramatics with a melodic chorus. The EP also has two tracks released as singles: ‘Broken Moments’ and ‘The Climber’. Continuing the Americana sound of the record, the former is an acoustic memoir with hints of country music and backing vocals while the latter contains soulful folk blues and a lyrically reflective […]
- [2021](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2021-1): WOLFGANG FLÜR @ THE LEXINGTON, LONDON Due to release the first instalment of his latest studio work ‘Magazine 1’ this March, ex-Kraftwerk percussionist Wolfgang Flür returned to The Lexington to perform a techno and electro set, as usual accompanied by a Kraftwerk visual archive slideshow in the backgroua certnd. Selecting from his catalogue of mixes and collaborations with other artists, he started with ‘Futur I’ by NEWMEN and ‘I Was A Robot (Club Mix)’. He later did a mix of ‘Beat Perfecto’ before a cover of Kraftwerk’s 1978 song ‘Neonlicht’ (‘Neon Lights’) from their ‘The Man-Machine’ album. Flür would sometimes […]
- [2020](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2020-1): ONLINE STREAM: MODERN ENGLISH @ INDIGO AT THE O2, LONDON To mark almost 40 years since the release of their second studio album and their biggest hit single, 4AD post-punks Modern English performed the entirety of ‘After The Snow’ in track order to an online audience. The album was also streamed to the US where the band’s main fanbase resides. Original members Robbie Grey (vocals), Gary McDowell (guitar), Michael Conroy (bass), Stephen Walker (keyboards) also did an interview backstage at the O2 talking through the recording process at the famous Rockfield studios where the album was recorded under the supervision […]
- [2020](https://postpunk.co.uk/talk/2020-2): SHAUN RYDER @ THE WATER RATS, LONDON Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder did an intimate Q&A in which he had “more stories than a fucking library”, touching on his early life growing up in Salford, musical influences and time in the Madchester indie dance rock group, which saw him work with  legendary producers such as John Cale, Martin Hannett and DJ Paul Oakenfold overseeing the creation of the band’s best known albums ‘Squirrel And G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile’, ‘Pills ‘N’ Thrills And Bellaches’ and ‘Bummed’.

- [2020](https://postpunk.co.uk/releases/2020-2): LIVE SKULL – DANGEROUS VISIONS (BRONSON RECORDINGS) The no wave Manhattan Sonic Youth and Swans contemporaries release a new studio album (following last year’s first release in almost thirty years). The current material features both recently recorded and archive tracks taken from over three decades. The first half of the album contains new recordings from 2019 to 2020 and starts on the Sonic Youthesque abrasive guitar streams of single ‘In A Perfect World’, with founder and guitarist Mark C on vocals, moving onto the walking bass of the re-recorded version of 1987’s ‘Debbie’s Headache’ and ending on the dystopian ‘Twin […]
- [2019](https://postpunk.co.uk/talk/2019-2): A CERTAIN RATIO − 40 YEARS IN FLIGHT More than four decades on and dance-funk punks, A Certain Ratio, are still going strong with a plethora of music behind them, having just released some hidden gems from their archive as a special box set compilation. Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson have remained the core of the band since its early days as Factory pioneers who share their heritage and rubbed shoulders with contemporaries Joy Division and New Order. ACR take time out from their busy anniversary tour to talk about their past, present and future over 40 years, […]
- [2019](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2019-1): HANS JOACHIM ROEDELIUS @ CAFE OTO, LONDON His first London appearance since 2012, Hans Joachim Roedelius, one of the founding fathers of Krautrock and the co-founder of bands Cluster and Harmonia, performed an intimate session alongside guest Swiss-born English composer Christopher Chaplin. Roedelius began by playing a cantata composed by his ancestor Johann Christian Roedelius in 1732, and then a version of the same piece by Chaplin. He moved onto a long, warm keyed piano composition which he played from memory. His wife then read some poetry aloud before Chaplin joined Roedelius onstage to perform an improvisational electronic piece to […]
- [2019](https://postpunk.co.uk/releases/2019-2): THE RAINCOATS – THE RAINCOATS (WE THREE) Commemorating 40 years of their eponymous debut album, The Raincoats reissue their classic record as a limited edition transparent marbled gold vinyl pressing of 1000 copies. In 2019, the band’s songs hold more relevance than ever, and sound as innovative in sound as they did 40 years earlier, with DIY ethic and multi-instrumental layering that took the definition of punk beyond its boundaries. Songs such as ‘No Side To Fall In’, ‘Off Duty Trip’ and ‘The Void’ summarise the band’s many faces of sound, harnessing the ideals and emotion of punk whilst reinventing […]
- [2018](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2018-1): ADAM ANT @ ROUNDHOUSE, LONDON Back due to popular demand, Adam Ant played two consecutive pre-Christmas shows at the Roundhouse doing a 25-song setlist, made up in large part of Adam and The Ants cover hits, and also several of his solo singles and B-sides. Together with his posse formed of Will Crewdson (guitar), A P Leach (guitar), Joe Holweger(bass), Andy Woodward (drums) and Jola (drums), Ant began the show playing from his solo discography, with ‘Dog Eat Dog’ and ‘Vive Le Rock’. The setlist was familiar to previous tours with the inclusion of fan favourites such as ‘Antmusic’, ‘Fall […]
- [2018](https://postpunk.co.uk/talk/2018-2): GLEN MATLOCK − READY STEADY GO Glen Matlock recently released his latest studio album, ‘Good To Go’ − a work in progress now finished. The album touches on his old school rock ‘n’ roll heritage, personal journey through life and features a return to his roots, far flung from his brief stint in The Sex Pistols. I met Glen over a coffee near his home in west London to discuss his new album, discovering Scott Walker and reminisce about his part in one of countercultures’s most controversial movements. The new album is true-to-its-roots rock ‘n’ roll. How does that reflect […]
- [2017](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2017-1): TAPETE PRESENTS: 15 YEARS OF QUALITY POP – BILL PRITCHARD @ THE LEXINGTON, LONDON To mark their 15th anniversary, Hamburg-based indie label Tapete Records put on a special weekend hosted by The Lexington to celebrate some of its current roster talent, which included ’80s indie-pop artists Bill Pritchard and The Monochrome Set. Opening for The Monochrome Set was singer-songwriter Bill Pritchard, who has released two albums on the label to date following a decade-long absence from the scene: 2014’s ‘Trip To The Coast’ and 2016’s ‘Mother Town Hall’. He began his set on 1991 single, ‘Number Five’, moving to the […]
- [2016](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2016-1): THE DAMNED + PENETRATION @ O2 ACADEMY BRIXTON, LONDON Celebrating four decades of existence, The Damned were on a special UK tour commemorating the milestone, which saw a live incarnation of their 1976 debut album, ‘Damned Damned Damned’, including their first single ‘New Rose’, both of which are also marking their 40th anniversaries this year. The night began with support from Pauline Murray’s Penetration, who this year also celebrate their 40th anniversary, performing from their newest studio album, ‘Resolution’, released after almost as long and a selection from their classic collection of punk hits, such as ‘Don’t Dictate’ and Buzzcocks […]
- [2015](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2015-1): KILLING JOKE @ ROUNDHOUSE, LONDON Following the release in October of their 15th studio album, ‘Pylon’, Killing Joke returned to London two years after playing their last show in their hometown. Opening the set on ‘The Wait’, Jaz Coleman entered the stage with trademark face paint, acting out his characteristic joker hysterics, before the band played more classics in the way of ‘Eighties’ and ‘The Beautiful Dead’, and from their latest album with ‘I Am The Virus’. Coleman touched on the political issues closest to his heart, such as the international refugee crisis, which led him to release his feelings […]
- [2013](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2013-1): UK DECAY @ O2 ACADEMY ISLINGTON, LONDON UK Decay played their second London date of 2013, following on from their sell out show at Electrowerkz and the release of their new studio album, ‘New Hope For The Dead’, earlier this year. Entitled ‘Night Of Celebration’ and tagged as the band’s only southern show for the forseeable future, the evening was a mix of their early and new material performed by a line-up featuring original members Steve ‘Abbo’ Abbot (vocals), Steve Spon (guitar) and Ed Branch (bass). They performed from their new album, which was produced by Chris Tsangarides, including jarring […]
- [2014](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2014-1): PINK FAIRIES @ DINGWALLS, LONDON Following on from their appearance earlier in the year at The 100 Club, Pink Fairies returned for another show in their home town, albeit missing original drummer Russell Hunter, in what was billed a “one-last-roll-of-the-dice” performance. The dark abrasive riffs of ‘The Snake’, sang by Jaki Windmill (ex-Space Ritual; vocals/percussion) came early in the set and with George Butler’s (Dirty Strangers) stark, racing hardcore beats, it’s not hard to see how this band influenced forthcoming punk musicians. They then paid homage to the late Lou Reed in ‘Waiting For The Man’ – a blues rock […]
- [2012](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2012-1): HAPPY MONDAYS @ ROUNDHOUSE, LONDON Within the rontunda magnificence of this splendid north London venue, Happy Mondays delivered two special Christmas shows, their fourth and fifth in the capital this year following their recent reunion of the full original lineup after more than 19 years. With the addition of singer Rowetta, the band, featuring its 1980 personnel of brothers Shaun Ryder (vocals) and Paul Ryder (bass), Mark Day (guitar), Paul Davis (keyboards) and Gary Whelan (drums) alongside dancer/percussionist Bez, opened with club mix ‘Hallelujah’ and chart classic ‘Kinky Afro’; their trademark keyboard and guitar chimes pumping out. The majority of […]
- [2011](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2011-1): REZILLOS @ UNDERWORLD, LONDON After three long years, the Rezillos are back touring the UK, now with a new single, ‘Out Of This World’, which was released earlier this month and has already been a sensation amongst fans. Original members Eugene Reynolds, Fay Fife and drummer Angel Paterson were joined on guitar and bass by Jim Brady and Chris Agnew. Coming on to the old Batman theme, the band played classics off their 1978 studio album, ‘Can’t Stand The Rezillos’, including ‘Flying Saucer Attack’, ‘Top Of The Pops’, ‘Cold Wars’ and ‘(My Baby Does) Good Sculptures’, which were accompanied by the […]
- [2010](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2010-1): THE BERMONDSEY JOYRIDERS @ THE 100 CLUB, LONDON What do you get when you cross classic London 1977 punk with addictive power chorded rock ‘n’ roll and a heavy sprinkling of Johnny Thunders? Something not far off The Bermondsey Joyriders – the missing link between the ’60s and the ’70s. Gary Lammin (ex-Cock Sparrer guitarist) and Martin Stacey (ex-Chelsea guitarist) were joined on the drums by guest for-one-night-only, the formidable Rat Scabies (ex-The Damned). The Bermondsey Joyriders are a band that puts angular on cue drumming and slide guitar effects at its centre. They broke open with an instrumental warmup […]
- [2009](https://postpunk.co.uk/live/2009-1): PiL @ ELECTRIC BALLROOM, LONDON It’s here. The infamous PiL, reunited after 17 years of supposedly being on hiatus. A band that John Lydon claims allows him to “express proper emotions”. So a media storm (concentrating on the one-legged natured loss of original members) over a reunion tour planned for the last month of 2009, including 3 consecutive dates in London, would suggest a big deal. It’s only natural for the music to suffer. PiL cannot be neatly chocolate boxed as post-punk at its barest level: stripped down to mere hyped Jamaican dub and something like disco electricals, which Lydon […]
- [2017](https://postpunk.co.uk/talk/2017-2): RICHIE RAMONE – ANIMAL BOY As the only drummer for The Ramones who sang on and wrote some of their songs, Richie Ramone is credited as having saved them at a time when his multi-talented skills were crucial in keeping their rock ‘n’ roll spirit alive. He now writes and sings lead vocals with his new band, having two solo albums under his belt and a third due out next year, and has recently been touring worldwide, showcasing his own preferred heavier sound. Richie takes time out after his London show to talk about breaking out as a new artist, […]

Following on from the success of their last album, ‘Work In Progress’, a production which saw the marrying of old Subs ideals with contemporary refurbishment, there’s promise of an even more exciting variation of noise that puts the band back to the beginning of a ‘Brand New Age’ of discovery. Punk rock machine, Charlie Harper, original vocalist and founder, talks album themes, artwork and the mechanics behind the […]
- [2012](https://postpunk.co.uk/talk/2012-2): KEITH MORRIS – OFF!: THE SHOW MUST GO OFF! Keith Morris, once lead singer of the abstrusely influential punk bands Black Flag and the Circle Jerks, has returned with his second studio album from new band OFF! – a fresh onslaught of LA hardcore not far flung from Black Flag’s ‘Nervous Breakdown’ EP, produced through Morris’ firm belief in rough and ready recordings. Angrier and more hateful than ever before, Morris, at 56, explains why he is moving on from his dishevelled departure from a 31-year-old band legacy to the window of opportunity and the West Coast melting pot. The […]
- [2011](https://postpunk.co.uk/talk/2011-2): EUGENE REYNOLDS & JIM BRADY: THE REZILLOS – THE THEN AND NOW The Rezillos are back touring the UK after three years, now with a new single, ‘Out Of This World’, available as a digital download, CD and 7″ vinyl. The new track, written and produced by old and new members of the comic sci-fi art punk group, encapsulates the past and present of one of the best loved bands in the cosmos. I caught up with The Rezillos’ one and only frontman Eugene Reynolds and guitarist Jim Brady ahead of the band’s first gig in London for three years. […]
- [2010](https://postpunk.co.uk/talk/2010-2): HENRY ROLLINS – THE MAN BEHIND THE SCREEN   A quick-fire email round with the former frontman of LA hardcore punk band, Black Flag. Where are you now? In Los Angeles at the moment. Just got here from eight weeks of travel all over. I started in Riyadh and ended in Beijing. What topics are you going to be covering for your 2010 tour of the UK and Europe? Is it important to be able to do shows abroad for people who don’t get to see some of your TV shows in America? The topics will be where I have […]

- [2018](https://postpunk.co.uk/releases/2018-2): THE MONOCHROME SET – MAISIE WORLD (TAPETE) In their 40th anniversary year, The Monochrome Set release their fourteenth studio album, comprising 10 songs that continue their traditional sound while adding new flavours that they’ve been experimenting with since their last album, ‘Cosmonaut’. It opens on ‘Give Me Your Youth’; a bassline track that brings to mind 1989’s ‘I Want Your Skin’. ‘I Feel Fine (Really)’ is the typical Monochrome Set sound, with acoustic guitar simplicity and a comical doctor-patient dialogue, for which the band also made a video. Also acoustic based is the thick organ-led ‘Cyber Son’, utilising a brass […]
- [2017](https://postpunk.co.uk/releases/2017-2): MARC ALMOND – SHADOWS AND REFLECTIONS (BMG) In his 60th year, Almond brings us a collection of covers, various musical styles and personas, all set to a grand orchestra. There’s a flamboyency about this record that brings out the theatricality of the man but at times it can be a little unoriginal, flat and over the top. The album opens with the instrumental composition, ‘Overture’; surreal, dreamy strings and harps with sirenic female vocals, which introduce the jumpy title track but which unfortunately doesn’t live up to expectation. However, the following song, Billy Fury’s ‘I’m Lost Without You’, recovers things […]
- [2016](https://postpunk.co.uk/releases/2016-2): THE MONOCHROME SET – COSMONAUT (TAPETE) Following the second instalment in their compilation album series ‘Volume, Contrast, Brilliance:…Unreleased and Rare: Volume 2’ earlier this year, The Monochrome Set release their 13th studio album, the second on German record label Tapete after last year’s ‘Spaces Everywhere’. Opening on single-to-be, ‘Cosmonaut’, the music video of which was filmed at London’s The 100 Club when the band played there in March, there’s an immediate feel that true Monochrome Set ideals have been preserved and developed. The theremin waves, jangle-pop and chuckling, winddown riffs with the addition of female backing vocals (present throughout the […]

The set included hit singles by these artists such as Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s ‘Two Tribes’, played with Horn’s five-stringed funky basslines, and his own 1979 chart topper, ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’, which was number one in 15 countries and saw him sing […]
- [Releases](https://postpunk.co.uk/releases): Melvins – Thunderball (Ipepac) Released under the name ‘Melvins 1983’, the band’s 28th studio album sees the return of founding members Buzz Osborne (vocals, guitar) and Mike Dillard (drums) collaborating on five tracks, alongside Atlanta electronic musicians Bristolian Ni Maîtres and Void Manes. The release opens with the chocking guitar riffs of dark sludge metal track, ‘King of Rome’; a titanic, bellowing song that lives up to its name. The fire cools off for an electronic, cosmic white noise interval, ‘Vomit of Clarity’; an unusual slant on the noise rock band written by Ni Maîtres and Manes. The electronic distortion […]
