Bauhaus since I was 13 years old in 1988.

[@pedalpartners]

[@nickolasecker9596]

I’d say my favorite post punk band is Siouxsie and the Banshees. As much as I adore the cure, particularly disintegration, I think Siouxsie and the banshees really embodied the genre and sound the best. Their work in the late seventies and early eighties established something of a prototype for what would become shoegaze and clearly inspired bands like Cocteau Twins (garland is really inspired by them and Head Over Heels is amazing as it’s a mixture of post punk and shoegaze, literally 50/50 of each). Juju is an absolute masterclass in post punk/goth, spellbound is the definitive post punk track. Joy Division and The Cure are my other two favorite post punk bands. In regards to the sound, I’d say nab a Roland JC style amp, doesn’t have to be the jc120, the jc40 is much more reasonably sized and is still fucking loud. Distortion, overdrive and fuzz were dialed way back for post punk and even new wave music. I think post punk was much more melodic and didn’t rely on guitar solos or fat fuzzy guitar tones that were famous in the seventies. Instead a more ethereal approach was taken and modulation such as chorus, flange and vibrato were more widely used. Analog, tape, and digital delay were also heavily used. From my experience, without breaking the bank from buying another amp, nab a used boss bf-2, the cure and the smiths I believe had both used the bf-2 as I’m sure other post punk guitarists had. It’s a flanger but is also capable of chorus, really a Swiss Army knife of a pedal. The boss ce-2w would also be ideal as most post punk groups used chorus/vibrato or flange. You won’t get the swooshing of a flanger, but the chorus tones are really lush and beautiful, and instantly help dial in the post punk tone. Next I’d say nab a good analog, tape or digital delay. It varies regarding what era of post punk or band you enjoy and wish to help emulate or get in the ballpark of. A deluxe memory man style analog delay like the recent EHX reissue, UA starlight which has the dmm, Echoplex and 2290 digital delay would be a great addition. The boss dm-2w is also great for a bauhaus ish post punk echo. For tape echo the boss Re-20 or Re-202/2 work great for post punk. A used boss dd-3 would also be a good addition as those were introduced during the era and used by Robert Smith and Johnny Marr (the dd-2 at least). Lastly distortion really wasn’t widely used but some tracks do use a touch of grit. Really all that was even available at the time were tube screamer clones. Boss sd-1, Ibanez ts9 or ts808 would do. A good compressor pairs well with modulation, like the mxr Dyna comp or Xotic sp comp or Keeley comp.

[@grimlyfiendish7474]

Killing Joke, New Model Army, Siouxsie and The Wipers. Can’t decide. Depends on the day

[@zachary963]

The Cure is my favorite band! Seventeen Seconds, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, Disintegration, Wish, and Wild Moon Swings are in my top albums ever, with Head on the Door as an honorable mention.

[@freestyleshaver]

Early to mid-era Cure for me. If we're talking revival: I really like the first few albums by Editors!

[@PetefromSouthOz]

Yep three great bands. Magazine is one of my favourite bands that might fit in here.

[@pantheon777]

[@Kulturmatt]

Nice. I picked up a used MD500 recently and I've been wondering where in the chain to use the slicer. So this is really useful! So far I've mostly had it going into a DD500 rather than the other way around. Have you tried the slicer before drive as well? That's on my xmas holidays to-do list.

[@pedalpartners]

at this rate i think i've put slicer in all different sorts of combos! i really want to get the sl-20 & of course the new one they just put out. they say if you really want something you should hold off a few days & if you still want it get it, think it's been 2 years now for the sl-20! 😂 will have to get it sooner rather than later!

[@Kulturmatt]

@@pedalpartners yeah. I’m very tempted by the new one. But I figure I should get the hang of the md500 version 1st! Also, hard to justify the money on something i already sort of have when there’s so much other great gear I don’t have!

[@TLCARCHIVE]

Great topic to cover. I'm going to select MODERN EON. They only made one album ('Fiction Tales') but it's essential post-punk listening @50mpb.

The Cure. Robert Smith is a genius

[@pedalpartners]

[@wallacewizard3934]

@williamjpwallace My favorite post punk band is Joy Division. Personally, I play bass, and I take a lot of my queues from Peter Hook, and I think the dynamics that exist between Ian Curtis' vocal lines and Peter Hook's high, mid-rangey riffs are so tightly knit. I wish they could have done more together.

[@palmereldritch92]

My favorites are Sentimiento Muerto, 80's post-punk from Venezuela!

If revival is allowed then it's probably Protomartyr. Fantastic albums and a killer live band too.

I like Chrome a lot, no one sounded like them. I would call their sound industrial-alien-post-punk.

And I so love New Ordwr too. A band I can recommend for the Joy Division kick would be early Interpol.
