Playlist of the week
Last week, it was announced that VNV Nation was coming to Minneapolis later this year. One of the opening bands is Holygram. I was curious and started checking out a song or two on youtube. I really dug their post-punk sound,and after the Holygram song, a song by Principe Valiente (another post-punk band) came on and I was hooked and that in turn inspired me to create my own post-punk playlist. Most of the songs on my playlist consists of modern post-punk bands like Holygram, Second Still, The Foreign Resort, and the list goes on on. I threw in a couple of familiar tracks from the past but the playlist as a whole consists of modern post-punk bands.
I created this playlist by by using both Spotify and the website Post-Punk.com as reference sources, and in the process I discovered a slew of artists and bands I was completely unaware of their existence. I will plead ignorance since for the longest time I have focused most of my energy on EBM, synthpop, and some metal and hip hop. Since creating this playlist I have been listening to it a lot at work and at home. For the first time in months, I have found music that I can listen to and not it bring me down while I am continue to go through the grieving process for my father. I find on some days that I can't listen to certain songs or certain genres of music but not with this new playlist. This is definitely one of the best playlists I have created in a long time.
I have posted several links to the Bandcamp pages to the bands that really stood out with me (or are personal faves of mine for some time).
