Old Bands, New Albums - 5/8/15




It usually doesn't bode well when a band or artist, long past their prime, decides to come back and try to recapture some of that former glory from their respective heyday. But post punk was always ahead of its time so when the world finally caught up, many a PP veteran found they still had something meaningful to contribute. Tonight's show was centered around those veteran, classic bands, all of whom released new albums in past 5 years or so and featuring tracks from said new albums.

Tracks that for the most part, were all pleasant surprises to me. Genuinely good songs from people who I didn't think still had it in them. A pleasantly surprising amount of people too. So many congratulations to them and congratulations to you as well if you are able follow this link and successfully play/download the show.
