Post-punk (originally called new musick) is a broad musical genre that emerged in 1977 in the wake of punk rock. Post-punk musicians moved away from punk's traditional elements and raw simplicity, adopting instead a broader, more experimental approach that included a variety of avant-garde sensibilities and non-rock influences. Here now is another enthralling volume in the Postcard series. The Postcards saga continues, discovering lesser known -- but no less significant -- names from the post-punk, new wave and D.I.Y. scenes around the UK and the US. Groups whose recording career was minimal and stopped, in 90% of cases, at the first and only 45 rpm (which is the cream of the crop here). Vol. 5 is deliberately an Anglo-American issue. It covers the period comprised between 1980 and 1983 and features three American and two English bands. Original covers, labels and credits are fully reproduced on the back of the cover. Two more fundamental pieces of the movement history. Featuring Slow Children, Elements Of Style, Dizzy And The Romilars, Twisted Nervez, and European Toys.
