Swell Maps
Vastly underrated and overlooked post-punk band.
Jane from Occupied Europe is a great album, so get it if you find it.

I like them. They remind me of Wire but not quite at the same standard. I only have ...In Jane From Occupied Europe however.

bump just because...
One reply for a thread dedicated to such an excellent band is a shame. I'm gonna listen to both their albums soon, maybe tonight since I have no money to out. I haven't listened to them for a little while, so I'm going to grace this thread with fresh opinions as soon as I'm done. At the moment I'll leave it at...Swell Maps rule! |

Jane From Occupied Europe epitomises the DIY sound... i love it. it's just a couple of Manc teenagers recording, pressing and distributing on their own.
Nowadays they would just post them up on myspace and leave the music to drown... If you haven't, cardboard adolescent, for Allah's sake read 'Rip It Up and Start Again: Post Punk 1978-1984' by Simon Reynolds, it came out in '06 and is a the definitive (and only) book on the subject it has a whole chapter on Swell Maps and the indie label movement (Rough Trade etc) |
