I've never heard of them, but I've never been huge on post-punk. Although I do LOVE me some Echo and the Bunnymen. I'm more of a hardcore/punk angst type guy shrug All I can think of is Swans, you like those guys?

I've never heard of them. Who are their influences?

Idk exactly, Swans has been around since the early 80's. Their early sound is pretty post-punk and more or less Joy Division influenced from what i can tell but their recent albums are more like experimental noise rock with a pretty bold sound. Very epic with long, building, songs comprised of walls of sound and, uh, interesting vocals.

Here's a song off their newest album to give ya an idea

Dang that's catchy as hell. I'm not a big fan of the vocals though haha. Other than that it's really good! What other music outside the post-punk genre would you recommend?
