Can this be considered modern post punk?

The "Post Punk Revival" of the early 00's is much different sounding than the post-punk movement happening now. So bands like The Rapture and Franz Ferdinand then had these sort of angular, spiky guitar tones that defined that genre. So no, QOTSA are certainly not post-punk. I said Sonic Youth because their experimental art rock they did is seeping into post-punk music today, such as the band Ought and their new record.
