why is chappel roan on the top tracks??? girl read the room

Definition of post-punk revival: It is 1999 (but you wish it was 1983). You have been listening to a lot of post-punk artists recently and want to start a band that has a similar sound. Your band consists of a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, a synth player, and a vocalist, all of whom are about equal when it comes to musical experience. You wear a suit almost everywhere you go.

Imo, for me this tag transcends and changes. Before 2012-2014, there could be bands as listed, but for now there's real post-punk revival - bands like Skeleton Hands, Ritual Howls, Soft Kill, Traitrs, et cetera. Just whole new mass of true post-punk that was produced lately, being enormously huge rise of a genre.

arctic monkeys = post-punk revival?? biggest joke

shitty music

Two Door Cinema Club WTF?

Motorama

Most of these are just indie bands and have little in common with true post-punk.. That said I have discovered quite a few gems in this sea of shite, so thank you taggers.

The worst shit

V V V Get over it, you obviously hate music.

PROFANE. Altough this is somewhat nice to listen with your girlfriend (at last better than the other pop bullshit a girl might prefer to listen), still this is a BLASPHEMOUS name for this music. Gothic rock even has more of the romanticist, ethereal cold sound of original post-punk...

Two Door Cinema Club Post-punk revival??/ O.o

Most of these are a disgrace to post punk and honestly i don't see the justification to call them post punk in the first place they all play the same brand of indie rock

The core of Indie bullshit. [2]

Нахер не нужен, когда хипстоте ничего не мешает лабать альтернативу и называть её обычным пост-панком.

best tag ever

There is no characteristic sound or style that makes a band Post-punk Revival. It essentially just means bands that were influenced or have a similar to sound to bands from the Post-punk movement, which in itself was extremely broad and general. Stop being so surprised that a certain band is listed here.

THIS TAG IS A LIE [2]

Two Door Cinema Club?

Having said that, most of the artists branded with "post-punk-revival" on here really aren't post-punk bands, are they?

Red-pumpkin, go ahead and compare Franz Ferninand to the post-punk band Gang of Four. Slight similarities, isn't it? Clearly inspired by post-punk bands such as them .

Interpol is pretty well the only band that really fits into this category.

Franz Ferdinand, seriously? which song sounds like post-punk revival? ;o

there's some great band and a lot of shit...

most of these bands are terrible [2]

because some people don't know what post-punk is and when it happened

@Filip_Howard exactly why is it ridiculous?

http://open.spotify.com/user/spotifymarvinus/playlist/6pdMEzkOucw63JQjcdqjIG sharing my playlist of heavily post-punk influenced emerging british bands

possibly the most ridiculous tag on last.fm -_-

Interpol, Editors, White Lies ftw.

most of these bands are terrible

New single of Vranorod (shoegaze/post-punk/melancholic pop)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi6Cq0glE7I If you're into post-punk revival, you'll definitely like it :)

manicure...the new post punk revival expression

Joy Division was great, better than Interpol, but am I such a douchebag to dislike Interpol to prove my love to Joy Division? Oh well. [2] Also huge 'seen live' fan too!

oh and bloc party is quintessential post-punk revival.

NOT ALL TAGS ARE GENRES, unless i'm wrong than i love the 'seen live' genre

I'm an elitarist myself, but debating the indie genre or dismissing the garage rock and post-punk revival seems like a very low level of elitarism to me. I mean, Joy Division was great, better than Interpol, but am I such a douchebag to dislike Interpol to prove my love to Joy Division? Oh well. You all got very much to learn, Padawans.

Lol, "post-punk revival"? Bloc Party? Funny.

THIS TAG IS A LIE

skinnydrifter, oldschool post-punk also were indie as you can see. so don't write something stupid

a lot of popshit in this list

Cool story skinnydrifter

It's easyer to explain what is indie, than trying to pronounce post-punk revival. Srsly, don't get so disturbed, just because of the name :)

Like I said, "You guys are listening to indie rock, because assholes complain indie is not a genre of music."
