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. 4 brings together five seven-inches, here presented in their entirety, released between 1979 and 1981 by cultish British bands. Original covers, labels and credits are fully reproduced on the back of the cover. Featuring Leopards, Monoconics, Eternal Scream, Look Back In Anger, and Academy One.
