s.o.t.r.-How do you feel about post-punk revival right now? Have you heard any acts that re-capture the former glory of the genre?
Janine-Interesting question – I don’t want to put a damper on any of the post-punk guys doing it now, respect to them and all and I haven’t heard much. But I did have a feeling when I first started listening to some a while back that what was informing them was just post-punk – not the multitude of sounds that informed our stuff and other post-punk acts the first time round - i.e. disco, funk, punk, jazz, reggae etc. – without these diverse influences I found some of what I listened to a bit one-dimensional. But having said that, since then I have heard a few more that seem to be heading in a different direction – a couple of local ones in particular – Das Fluff and Parking Offence.. Yeah Yeah Yeah’s of course are great. There are a plenty more out there…. can you or any of your readers suggest any worth a listen?
