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\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A (USA 1980-1984)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 BLUE TRAPEZE - In The Still Darkness Orange County, 1984\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 BOUND \u0026amp; GAGGED - Chains \u0026amp; Polymer Boston, 1980\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 CARDBOARDS - Electrical Generator Pittsburgh, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 CARDBOARDS - On The RITZ Pittsburgh, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 CHEMICALS MADE FROM DIRT – Ike Long Island, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 THE ADULTS - Call On Me Seattle, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide B (UK 1979-1981)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 COLLECTIVE HORIZONTAL - Tortured Meanderings London, 1979 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 COLOURS - Dierdre Is An Artist London, 1980\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 COMMERCIALS – Simon North Berwick, Scotland, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 CRASH ACTION WINNERS - Hurricane Fighter North Berwick, Scotland, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 DRY RIB – Alaska London, 1979 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 THE CZECHS – Suffocation Cardiff, Wales, 1980\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 THE DIFFERENT I’s - This Week London, 1980\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samizdat","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50488996921675,"sku":"2179035","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/7427244912839_f702e9e2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727635056","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/postcards-vol-1-diy-and-indie-post-punk-from-usa-and-uk-1979-1984","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
