Post-Punk is a pretty broad genre. It basically encapsulates anything that is inspired by punk but also brings in other influences such as Jazz, Reggae, Disco and experimental music. Post-Punk began to rise in the early 80s with amazing bands like Joy Division, The Smiths, The Cure and Wire. However the genre was a little short lived. Shortly after Joy Division released their influential album Unknown Pleasures, the genre started to decline in popularity

Now-a-days though there are some incredible Post-Punk bands being started. Obviously Black Country, New Road just released their amazing album Ants From Up There, just a short year after For The First Time. Last year, Black Midi released Cavalcade, the follow up to their album Of Schlagenheim. The band Shame also released Drunk Tank Pink last year. Along with Dry Cleaning releasing their album New Long Leg and IDLES releasing Crawling. Squid released Bright Green Field and there are so many other bands releasing music and it makes it such an exciting time for the genre
