Great tracks Saltymonkey! I hadn't heard a bunch of those.
Me neither... I really liked the Angels of Light track. It had me digging around thru some of Gira's other stuff.
Also "discovered" Survival Knife this weekend, in the wake of that Unwound track.
Speaking of Fugazi ("post hardcore?" I guess that makes as much sense as anything) ...
They were one of those bands (like Sonic Youth) that I didn't make an immediate connection with, but somehow I came around... and they (like SY) would now be on my desert island list. Hard to even pick something to post...
I know this is straying from post punk, but since its going there... here are a couple other post punk influenced(?) bands that I like.
(It's either this, or I start posting Human League
)
Nada Surf
Autolux (detect some SY-esque noise-scapes in the first track "Plantlife")
