What is Post-punk (en.wikipedia.org)

Post-punk is a diverse genre that emerged from the cultural milieu of punk rock in the late 1970s. Originally called "new musick", the terms were first used by various writers in the late 1970s to describe groups moving beyond punk's garage rock template and into disparate areas. Sounds writer Jon Savage already used "post-punk" in early 1978. NME writer Paul Morley also stated that he had "possibly" invented the term himself. At the time, there was a feeling of renewed excitement regarding what the word would entail, with Sounds publishing numerous preemptive editorials on new musick. Towards the end of the decade, some journalists used "art punk" as a pejorative for garage rock-derived acts deemed too sophisticated and out of step with punk's dogma. Before the early 1980s, many groups now categorized as "post-punk" were subsumed under the broad umbrella of "new wave", with the terms being deployed interchangeably. "Post-punk" became differentiated from "new wave" after their styles perceptibly narrowed.

The genera itself being foundationally typified by groups such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, Wire, Public Image Ltd, the Pop Group, Cabaret Voltaire, Magazine, Pere Ubu, Joy Division, Talking Heads, Devo, Gang of Four, the Slits, the Cure, and the Fall. But not limited to. And has spun off many sub genera such as alternative rock, dark-wave, cold-wave, synth-wave, synth-pop, and some indie rock

CTRL by ACTORS, released 13 February 2026

turn the light down soft and low
bend it into shape - and let it go satiate your aching need
disconnect erase the memory
I take my time now
I make it right now
No control CTRL
No control CTRL
dark devotion dressed in black flooded streets drown in your regret
between the teeth of misery
the hunger takes a hold of me I take my time now
I make it right now
No control CTRL
No control CTRL

Just stumbled across them this afternoon. Realy liked the vibe. But as is custom anymore I prepared to do some cursory research. Expecting to find they were ambiguous or outright AI like the other two I looked at today. But nope. Live video of them performing, they've apparently also toured with French Police (also good).

No idea if it is AI or not. Though one single release on Bandcamp nearly two years ago I think is fairly safe to say that it's not likely. I was definitely enjoying the vibe regardless.

Listening to it now and loving it. It's classic Corpus. Good classic goth rock releases seem in such short supply in recent years. To have one from a classic goth rock band no less is awesome.

It's that time of year. And there's hardly a more appropriate song for the season. I wish we had more from Creature Feature in recent years. But with talk of crowd funding an actual feature we may not have much longer to wait.
