Post-punk vinyl
Post-punk took punk's energy and pointed it somewhere stranger: angular guitars, dub-heavy bass, art-school ideas. Joy Division, Wire, Gang of Four, The Fall and Siouxsie and the Banshees defined it from the late 1970s into the 80s, and bands from Protomartyr to Fontaines D.C. have brought it back.
With anniversary reissues of the originals alongside new records from today's bands, there's a lot to keep track of. Here's every post-punk record we've covered, with its status and where to buy it at retail price.
