I want to make a synth-punk new-wave band!
- High energy fast drums
- Tight funk punk bass
- Catchy rough vocals
- Snappy guitar melodies and riffs
- Add fat dancy synth action!
These post punk genres had a fairly fleeting lifespan from around '77 - '84, and many bands popped up and disappeared again...
Many of these bands sound so contemporary now, because many bands in the last few years have brought back the stylings of these guys.
I think bands like Cut Copy and CSS are very reminiscent of these bands. Even Flight of the Conchords also have many songs inspired by this era of music.
Here's a few gems that have particularly inspired me!
Check out High Pressure Days '79...

Dow Jones and the Industrials are rad...
Can't Stand the Mid West
Ain't Good Enough

Gang of Four
Damaged Goods is a real corker.
