New infographic for a quick and simple summary of post-punk. Made for Obscura Undead

One thing I’d like to add that I did not have room for in the infographic is: while almost all goth subgenres fall under post-punk not all post-punk is goth. There are quite a few bands that are not even close to goth like Devo, Franz Ferdinand, Orange Juice, Dry Cleaning, or Bloc Party

Hope you all find this useful!

Hey y’all! let us in on some great opportunities for some bands! 12/17 is the deadline! Read this as it comes directly from It's that time of year again for our Obscura Undead music compilation 2022! Hoping to round this year out with a wonderful flock of bats. UnObscured Vol. 4 will be Name Your Price on Bandcamp. We are seeking band submissions for the opportunity to appear on our Year End comp. Songs must have been released in 2022, be owned by the band and not a label (Unless you are the label owner and you have the band's permission). Although the comp will be free, any money earned will go to support us with venue rentals and keeping the OU machine churning. And just like last year, we’ll only be selecting about 30 tracks out of all submissions
Deadline is Saturday, December 17th for submissions
