Description:

Fans of the intersection in the musical universe where the populist, DIY spirit and spartan values of garage rock, classic punk and 80s hardcore intersect with the intelligence, ambition and...

There are groups dedicated late 70s/early 80s post-punk, late 80s/90s post-hardcore, and new, poppy post-punk, but no groups that effectively cover all of them, hence this group. If you feel an artist or a label should be connected, feel free to suggest, but try and back up why they should be added. I say this because I don't want a bunch of blockheaded Oi! bands or pretentious Prog Rock bands clogging the group up. Keep things open-minded and fun!

A harshly underrated Boston band from the early 90s, one of the best pieces of raw shoegazing sound ever: http://www.last.fm/music/Drop+Nineteens
