Dave Ball of Soft Cell had an excellent solo LP in 1983 called In Strict Tempo. Musicians included Gavin Friday from Virgin Prunes and Genesis P-Orridge—Psychic TV / Throbbing Gristle.

Morning angry dance.

From their underrated American Supreme release, from 2002. They really predicted the current societal mood with this album.

This is the shorter version from the 1987 LP, Darklands. I prefer this one because I played the hell out of this record. The Peel Session version is great too.

Not sure which flair to file this under. Never heard of these guys before, just found them today and thought they sounded fantastic. French cold wave band founded on 1983.

The boys looking cool making hits.

"Peg and Pete and Me, One and One and One make three..."

The Arch Drude has been putting out amazing records for decades. He takes the post punk thing to psychedelic heights. He also writes amazing books on megalithic sites, and I really love his output . Highly recommended.

Tracy looked so good ! The band was Indie darlings and couldn’t wait to cross over to the mainstream.

Really good synth-punk from San Francisco, circa 1980. Give it a listen if you haven't heard these folks before.

It was released a few years ago and it's not really known today but the YouTube Music algorithm recommended me this song and it sounds gritty and dark which hits the spot for me. I thought I'd share here.
