Best in Post Punk - Latest Releases
December brought us a stunning array of post-punk gems, from brooding cold wave synths to jagged guitar riffs and experimental electronic vibes. Let’s dive into what’s been shaking up the post-punk scene!
This edit features the latest releases from Dystt, Whippets, Age Otori, Rosa Damask, A Constant Murder, Suburban Ants, ZweiLaster, New Adults, and Jazz Vost.
Espejo - Dystt
I would describe Dystt’s Espejo, from their latest album, Rito, as a cold and loud mirror of self-reflection to which you can definitely dance.
So hit play and lose yourself in the hypnotic mantra of "consumiendo" as you let your body do all the work.
Give it a listen if you’re a punk-rock fan and you’ll surely like Dystt’s new wave gothic vibes.

C-Thru - Whippets
Turn things up with a little C-Thru, Whippets’ latest release, a post-punk jam laced with Bobby Hussy’s groovy vocals, Hart Miller’s crisp drums, and Tyler Spatz on the bass.
Give it a play and wait for a grunge-gaze wall of sound, where guitars are a mix of noisy fuzz and melodic hooks linger. It’s fun, it’s raw, and it’s messy in all the best ways.

Humdrum - Age Otori
Age Otori’s self-titled album release feels like flipping through static-laden VHS memories of a past that never really existed, and Humdrum is no exception.
Give this concoction of shoegaze haze, post-punk tension, and experimental grit a spin if you’re a fan of nostalgic vibes in post-punk, or you just love Daisuke from Mouthwashing!

Adore You (Dave Clarke Club Solitaire Remix) - Rosa Damask
This one is a post-punk electronic club mix that honors its goth-electro roots and has you moving your body to the rhythm. If there were to be a top three for this list, I would place Adore You (Dave Clarke Club Solitaire Remix) on there.
Wondering if my taste in music s*cks? Well, there’s only one way to find out. Give Adore You a spin and let me know if you liked it as much as I did!

Andrew in Drag - Bogatir, Sweet Teeth, Hainted
Andrew in Drag is a song many may have heard, but not in this version. Yes, the DIY punk energy and art rock flair are still there, but Bogatir, Sweet Teeth, and Hainted give this track a jangly, rough-around-the-edges punk rock vibe that takes Andrew in Drag to new levels.
If you’re into those old-school lo-fi vibes but still want something fresh, this must-have split delivers on all fronts. Find this limited edition split on Bandcamp.

Cannons - A Constant Murder
Don’t let A Constant Murder’s Cannons fool you with its indie post-punk and hardcore ferocity. Listen closer and you’ll find a bitter-sweet undercurrent of vulnerability running through it.
It’s as if you can hear the longing and feel the artist’s frustration when they just can’t bridge that gap.
'Send me a written letter I will fall for you'.

We Are 138 (Misfits Cover) - Suburban Ants
The Suburban Ants take the Misfits’ classic We Are 138 and give it a grungy garage rock reboot that drips with their signature gritty rawness. What starts as a familiar anthem gets twisted into something dirtier and moodier, with the Ants leaning into their black metal and hardcore influences to dial it up!
It’s punk with a scuffed edge and if you like the sound of that, you’ll definitely like what The Suburban Ants are doing in their latest album, Syncretic Basement Interpretations.

Allein - ZweiLaster
Minimalist punk meets lo-fi brilliance in ZweiLaster’s Allein, the first track of their latest album (third one so far) called Wieherd.
This Stuttgart-based duo—Marie (Ollenixxe) on vocals and drums, and Arno (AK99) on vocals and guitar—keeps things raw, sharp, and stripped to the essentials.
Give Allein a spin and you’ll notice an unmistakable sense of urgency—this is punk in its purest form, but with a poetic edge that flirts with no wave and esoteric garage-punk vibes.

Fired - New Adults
Hail New Adults for their creativity and the experimental free soul vibes they bring to Punk Rock music!
Fired feels like an almost frantic love letter, spilling out over the noise in a way that feels cathartic yet strangely tender.
Listen to New Adults once and you’ll know they’re the type that need to be heard live! Play this one out loud!

Mouv de teuf - Jazz Vost
Parisian trio Jazz Vost cranks up the chaos with Mouv de teuf, a gritty, synth-soaked anthem for the night owls and dancefloor nihilists.
This one feels like a disjointed fever dream of cold urban nights and you’ll surely enjoy it if you’re a fan of Jazz too!
File this under: the soundtrack to your next underground party meltdown.
