Killer bassline from Steven Kilbey...
This Australian band is one of my favorite. Probably not "strictly" post-punk but maybe neo-psychedelic, jangle-pop.
They still make (beautiful) records.
Ian Curtis 7/15/1956 - 5/18/1980
Opening track from "Remain in light" and one of their finest
Best rhythmic session of their era, probably. I love them.
This awesome band issued a couple of records for the Factory Benelux label. In particular, "Swimming", their second and last album issued in 1982, was produced by Martin Hannet (who also produced Joy Division and New Order).
I loved this album from the first time I heard it.
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.)
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.
Just reading that 47 long years ago this single was released. The 1978 album, their third one, named Armed Forces is a masterpiece. A special mention to Bruce Thomas, whose sumptuous basslines made this record more precious.
Walk, walk, walk, it's better this way
We can't carry on
As if nothing's happened
As if nothing's wrong
Truth, truth stares in our face
It closes its book, book, book, book, book, booklet.
First post here...
I have always loved the LP "Strange free world", hope that someone likes it, too.
