Lydia Lunch, The Art Gray Noizz Quintet

Manchester Post-Punk

Before the baggy trousers: basslines, empty space, and a city building its own outlets.

Vancouver Punk

The west-coast first wave that coined 'hardcore' — political, tuneful and absurdly early.

Austin Post-Rock

Instrumental Texas music built on patience: guitars that swell instead of riff, drone that behaves like weather.
