A lot of the music covered under the “post-punk revival” centers around the poppier set of bands from the early ’80s, the ones you can still hear on the radio today – your Cure, Joy Division and Gang of Four.

They explore the work of Coil overtly, but also acts like Pere Ubu and Swell Maps. As such, their newest album No Promotion is not an album you’ll see gushed about on social media or subject to countless think pieces on Reddit’s Indieheads community, but if your taste in post-punk runs to the noisy, chaotic and slightly scattershot, then it’s an album you’ll need to add to your listening pile.
