Canadian Post-Punk? I quite liked a few songs by Images in Vogue, they were kind of glam post-punk/synthpop. Same with Strange Advance. That's a lot of synths, though (we like our synths).

[@aloys7716]

Indochine and Étienne Daho, french bands. They're more synthwave than post-punk and they're not really dark, but they're cool

[@Witheld]

[@VIDEOGEDDONx]

I remember back then on Tumblr people used to use a picture of either Morrissey, Ian Curtis, or Robert Smith, take a line from one of their band's songs, and then misattribute it to the wrong back. So like take a picture of Morrissey, go into MS paint, quote lyrics over the picture from a Joy Division song, and then say it was The Cure. I remember I did it and some girl was furious over basically what was nothing but a little Tumblr trend by people who wanted to troll fans if goth/post-punk bands. And I'm a fan of all 3 bands myself 😂

What’s the song?

[@Timsturbs]

@@jeeptoe this is postpunk by desmond doom, truly a classic. still remember when i fist heard it as a grown male, like it was yesterday. but actually it was 10 minutes ago 😭 oh how the time flies by.

[@marguskiis7711]

It was 1980 and it was minor underground hit in Germany. John Peel played it and the smartasses in NME heard it. Rest is history. Actually the real title is "Posh Bonn" and it was some German "joke" towards the evil West Germany by Desmond Doom which was a (W) Berlin band. Berliners despised the vessies a lot.

[@marguskiis7711]

Later the guys from DD formed Alphaville.

[@banjoj8579]

Found this video randomly today and was like "Wait a minute, I know that name!" Discovered your Surf Goth EP a few months back and instantly added it to my library. great stuff. As a post-punk/darkwave musician myself, I'm a little jealous of how quickly you can compose a track for these videos and they still sound brilliant.

this was my *exact* feeling too❣...felt like some laid-back darkwave in the vein of She Past Away

[@ordinarymadman2784]

Isnt’t darkwave a subgenre/derivate of post punk anyway ?

[@iltourcinico]

@@ordinarymadman2784 Well, in general, for me the typical post punk (raincoats, pere ubu, pop group, slits, gang of four, fall) it's different from darkwave, Gothic rock.

[@ianwalker3950]

Literally chuntered this to myself after the video finished.

[@LeavingCaladan]

idk.. to me post punk was very solidly defined by joy div and siouxsie and the cure. pil and the fall and gang of four were just a different direction, but all post punk imo. no “darkwave” yet as far as i knew. looking back they’re obviously much darker than those new wave sounding post punk bands (devo raincoats gang of four) though.

[@rikaisha]

it does not sound like New Order, but is postpunky enough love your videos!

[@now-semen-up]

this is post punk in every definition of the word

[@nickdubesa8068]

Is joy division not considered post punk? They were before new order, this sounds like joy division to me.

[@odeposito9122]

New Order is New Wave, not Post-punk.

[@rikaisha]

@@odeposito9122 you can’t really limit the music by a certain criteria like genre, especially when you’re talking about a band which exists for several decades. And ‘post-punk’ as a criteria is too broad to define in exact terms to describe the sound. It’s more of a direction, not a genre.

[@niajefferson717]

@@rikaisha That is true; however, every genre -- no matter how vague it is in actuality -- has it's typified version of what it generally sounds like. For example, post-punk became typified somewhere in the early to mid 1980s. An average band playing post-punk would sound somewhat like the video.

This is the sound of the last of Joy Division. New Order is always sleek. Post Punk (and this) sounds as sleek as glass polished with steel wool.

[@JuniorJr...]

A mix of Xymox with New Order and Cure. Astonishing! (loved the t-shirt 😂) Regards from Brazil

[@viktorturon]

Good sound. Very atmospheric. I'm singing now: "This is post-punk...This is post-punk"

[@MrMllx]

Awesome Sisters of Mercy vibe

[@ScisaacFisaac]

Sounds like Molchat Doma more than anything. Every step of the way it just sounded more and more like one of their songs, especially from Etazhi New Order was a bit sunnier and danceable pop, Joy Division was more fly-off-the-handle punk but with low fidelity and a dark lead singer

[@DesmondDoom]

Love the Molch, Slavs make the best modern Post-Punk in my opinion.

Hell yes! Glad I could inspire you to make stuff! Enjoy m8

[@carl13220]

Actually this sounds pretty close to some of the Clan Of Xymox's songs. Or maybe if Ian Curtis told to the other guys in JD : "let's add more synths here and there to sound like Robert". Nice !

Post-punk is such a diverse genre. However, while I have enjoyed goth music, it has become way too synonymous a sound with the contemporary version of the post-punk genre. This song is a perfect example of that sound lol. BTW, checked out your surf e.p., good stuff!

I wanted to try and hire a singer so I could finish the demo and turn it into a band so I can just play bass lol

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

@@TheVioletBunny I can try to give the vocals a shot, if you'd like. I'm pretty flexible as a vocalist so odds are I can come up with a vocal delivery that will work, even if it just ends up serving as a template for the next person to imitate. Failing that, if you're used to belting when you sing I'd try to stick as close to slow, rhythmic speech as possible. Basically break as far away from how you're used to singing and start developing a different approach from there. Or, just mix your post-punk with post-hardcore until the SDRE style vocals don't sound out of place.

[@DesmondDoom]

@@TheVioletBunny Funny, I wish my chest voice was a little bit higher (I'm just out of that Layne Staley/early Ozzy range, rats!). Gotta work with what you got and write for your voice in the end.
