Scratching the Surface – A Post-Punk Playlist

We may be a bit biased, but the appeal of post-punk music lies in its diversity and the quantity of top-shelf bands that explored the darker, artier, and weirder side of the punk spectrum. Even after all these years, new bands pay homage to the movement and old, forgotten records are unearthed from the abyss and given new life.

With that in mind, please enjoy this two hour continuous mix of some second-tier post-punk bands, mostly from the UK. Many of our readers may already be familiar with most of these artists, while fans freshly exploring the genre should find lots to love outside of the standard post-punk diet of Siouxsie, Smith, and Moz.

Enjoy, and feel free to share some of your favorites in the comments!
