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. Inspired by punk's energy and DIY ethos, but determined to break with rock clichés, artists experimented with styles such as funk, electronic music, jazz and dance music; dub and disco production techniques; and ideas from art and politics, including critical theory, modernist art, film and literature. These communities have produced independent record labels, visual art, multimedia performances and fanzines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese three compilations are by no means 'Best Of' or collections of chart hits. They are compilations that endeavour (and we think they do  well) to take a wide-ranging look at the UK and American post-punk scene in the years from 1978 to 1984, but here almost everything stops in 1981, giving space to bands and artists that almost always didn't make it beyond the 45 rpm mark. A representation of the true 'Outside of Everything' of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 ACID DROPS – Distance Bromley, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 ANOREXIA - l’m a Square Hertfordshire, 1980\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 ANOREXIA – Pets Hertfordshire, 1980\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 ART FAILURE - In Vogue Manchester, 1979\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 BLOATED TOADS - Happy Home Sussex, 1980\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 THE BOUNCING CZECHS – 1992 Bristol, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 THE ARNOLD - God Is Walking A Tighrope Kent, 1980\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 REACTA – Sus London, 1978\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 THE RECORD PLAYERS - Dont Go Backwards Kent, 1978\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 REPTILE RANCH - Saying Goodbye Cardiff, Wales, 1980 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 SCHOOL MEALS – Headmaster Leamington, 1978\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 STEPPING TALK - Common Problems Manchester, 1979 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 STOLEN POWER - Little White Lies London, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 STRUTZ - Break Point Scotland, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samizdat","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50466856436043,"sku":"2179039","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/7427244912846_16983d24_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727326053","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/postcards-vol-2-diy-and-indie-post-punk-from-great-britain-1978-1981","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
