Metz is a weird inclusion here? post-grungey band on subpop and their debut was 9 years ago...I guess Ice Age fit the sound somewhat too, but again their debut was a decade ago.
Viagra Boys are a lot of fun live, but both live and on record i'm still just wishing it was some new Pissed Jeans

I was told there are no more bands! and yet here there are so many, right in one thread
― In on the killfile (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 13:25 (three years ago) link
one local band I always thought was brilliant and never got its due was Brute Heart, but they were more i guess post punk in the slits/young marble giants way...but also very original they had their own sound, loved this band so much

I don't mind Viagra Boys...but in 2021 I'm not listening to an album called "Welfare Jazz" by a band called "Viagra Boys"

look buddy if I had to dodge all the bands with dumb names I wouldn't listen to anyone

it's more welfare jazz that gives me a vibe I don't like

I listened to a small clip of Dry Cleaning the other day and I remember suddenly wanting to listen to Animals That Swim?

it’s a good album though

Like about 80% of the bands in this thread they are fine
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 22:18 (three years ago) link
they’re in my top 2-3 (with tropical fuck storm and dry cleaning) in this list before a big drop. my fav music is like midwestern garage punk and pigfuck styles of obnoxious punk music with dumb band names and jocular humour though
― flopson, Wednesday, 7 April 2021 22:59 (three years ago) link
you ever listen to The Blind Shake?
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 23:17 (three years ago) link
ya! they’re great :) saw em around 2010 with michael yonkers
― flopson, Wednesday, 7 April 2021 23:32 (three years ago) link
it’s p funny that Viagra Boys are swedish . i had assumed australia
― flopson, Wednesday, 7 April 2021 23:33 (three years ago) link
yeah that period when they were working with yonkers was greattho hope you get to see them without him, they were a lot more restrained w him obv

my top 4 would be the same as the results just in a different order
I also like Iceage and Metz. liked a couple of songs by Viagra Boys and Fat White Family but not really a fan of either. never heard any of the others.
― CP Radio Gorgeous (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 8 April 2021 13:03 (three years ago) link
oh Amyl & The Sniffers are alright too but Simon forgot to actually include them as a poll option
― CP Radio Gorgeous (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 8 April 2021 13:07 (three years ago) link
oh are they good?the name made me think there were one of those retro sleaze l.a. punk kinda things
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 8 April 2021 13:15 (three years ago) link
I actually did listen to and consider them for this poll but they struck me as musically up to something less self-consciously arty than most of these bands
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Thursday, 8 April 2021 13:20 (three years ago) link
I'm not sure I would say they were good, but they are alright. only heard a couple of things
― CP Radio Gorgeous (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 8 April 2021 13:48 (three years ago) link
Just catching up on Dry Cleaning, this is nice

love their album from last year.

I wouldn't have said either A&TS or The Chats were "post-punk". They're just... rock bands?

more violins in post punk!!― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown)

yeah I only mentioned them because Simon did in the OP
― CP Radio Gorgeous (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 8 April 2021 16:43 (three years ago) link
I'm fine with calling both bands punk but no, not post-punk by any definition I recognise
― CP Radio Gorgeous (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 8 April 2021 16:44 (three years ago) link
I was going to say punk but then I'm not even sure that The Chats are that. But nah, I guess they are.
― emil.y, Thursday, 8 April 2021 16:46 (three years ago) link
I guess The Chats are like the Sham 69 version of punk? That's okay by me.
― emil.y, Thursday, 8 April 2021 16:47 (three years ago) link
The Chats are Australia's answer to HMHB
― imago, Thursday, 8 April 2021 16:48 (three years ago) link
Last album a blast too yeah
They’re as post-punk as Idles, which is to say not much but they have elements (groove, MES sprechsang-y bits) that aren’t just ‘punk.’
― Joe Bombin (milo z), Thursday, 8 April 2021 16:49 (three years ago) link
I would err toward the broad church when it comes to a genre that fundamentally just means ‘came after the first half of 1978 or so.’
― Joe Bombin (milo z), Thursday, 8 April 2021 16:52 (three years ago) link
Not knocking The Chats here (though I'm not into it enough to make it through a whole album, I still get 'Smoko' stuck in my head every now and again), just can't see a world in which they belong to the genre of post-punk, as elastic as that genre might be. It just feels like it doesn't suit either the music or their own intentions.
― emil.y, Thursday, 8 April 2021 16:55 (three years ago) link
I also endorse Brute Heart, they were great.
I think “Welfare Jazz” was referring to some Swedish program to provide funding for musicians that was oriented towards classy/respectable styles of music.
― JoeStork, Thursday, 8 April 2021 16:55 (three years ago) link
love "smoko"
The Chats are basically a live band Sleaford Mods

sometimes i wonder if slum of legs were aware of king of the slums, another noisy violin wielding indie band also with a bit of a gobby singer, except they were from manchester in the 80s

We weren't until people started comparing us to them! They're cool, though.
― emil.y, Thursday, 8 April 2021 21:54 (three years ago) link
This is a tangent but I used to see this band The Danglers in tiny coffee shops when I was in high school, playing heavy prog and Slayer covers with a drums/violin/upright bass lineup, and they would absolutely blow my mind

I like this Dry Cleaning thing as well. The guitar tone sounds a lot like something that I haven't been able to place so far.
