HALFMOON T SHIRT – POST PUNK JP – BLACK

Original Post Punk T Shirt - JP 

Punk had burst onto the scene in 1976 with its aggressive, raw energy; confrontational lyrics and rhythm guitars spewing out arrangements that were totally unorthodox. It was a moment of revolution, overturning what had gone before. Kicking out the old guard, without a plan as to how the new guard might sound. Though Punk had not run its full course: it continued and continues to this day with its music, spirit and attitude still in practice. But by 1978, it fell on the next wave of bands to exploit the change that had been bought about. Hence Post Punk began to emerge.

Post Punk is the refining of the raw art form of Punk. Lyrics don’t shout protest like Punk; but explain, discuss contextualise political and social issues. Overwhelmingly independent, usually experimental, often Avant-Garde, mostly monochrome, artistically diverse, continually moving forward and always Post.
