hiya i saw ur tags on the songs recent post and i just wanna say i discovered the cleaners from venus recently (from their song drowning butterflies) and added the ones you mentioned to my “to listen” playlist hehe do you have any more recommendations? my favourite music is rock, punk, and everything that falls under the huge post-punk umbrella (esp. new wave)

p.s i love your blog <3 it makes me discover so much cool music that is right up my alley!!

omg hey !!!!! sorry i have taken ages to respond to this, i went to see glass animals 2 nights in a row this weekend and i am currently inconsolable about it. but pls know when i saw this in my inbox the other day it made my morning <333 i'm gonna put these recs under the cut bc my god do i ramble

so first and foremost if u haven't gotten into the more jangle pop area of 80s college rock i am chock full of recommendations for you as it was the primary thing i listened to when i was 13/14 and i am a certified expert in this genre. i have a beginner's guide playlist which i'll cheekily plug here :-) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3OExljFrNZgOZEgygZkFhA?si=f7a97a3fd869492e

but if i had to recommend some specific artists from that playlist i would 100% recommend the go-betweens and robyn hitchcock. the former are an aussie indie group and the latter is a quirky british dude who sings about trains, cheese and cats. i never have anyone to talk to abt these 2 artists so give em a listen and lmk what you think !!

some starting songs for u: go-betweens: love goes on, was there anything i could do, spring rain, cattle and cane, bye bye pride robyn hitchcock: so you think you're in love, if you were a priest, flesh number one (beatle dennis), i feel beautiful, my wife and my dead wife

while we're on the topic of indie rock/pop, if u haven't checked out bands from the dunedin sound yet i would highly recommend !! my faves are the chills, the clean & the bats. the whole dunedin sound is post-punk inspired and a bit more homemade in its sound - i'll link another playlist (not my own but a great starting point that got me into it too !!) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0qJGjUouZATPL5shPWpTgj?si=a0c0d1ecab2d41c7

for general punk stuff, my favourite bands are probably the jam and the stranglers whom i'm sure u already know heaps about :-) the stranglers are far more underrated though & i love the black and white album sm <3 also the minutemen !!! i love their album double nickels on the dime, especially the song viet nam. what a certified banger

and lastly some post punk/new wave stuff i've been into recently - my friend rec'd me the song second skin by the chameleons and it is SO good !! idk much abt the chameleons but he's really into the manchester/post punk scene and his recs never miss tbh. i've also been getting into the the lately - this is the day and uncertain smile are constantly on repeat in my household atm

thank u again for the ask !!!! it always makes my day to talk abt music w people and rec stuff :-) i'm so glad my blog has given you some cool stuff to listen to <333

#also !!!!#im sure u already listen to them but if u dont listen to the church u should !! excellent post punk & my no1 80s aussie bitches i lov them #god this answer is SO long i am sorry i am physically incapable of shutting the fuck up abt music at any given time #answered
