Inspired by punk's energy and DIY ethos, but determined to break with rock clichés, artists experimented with styles such as funk, electronic music, jazz and dance music; dub and disco production techniques; and ideas from art and politics, including critical theory, modernist art, film and literature. These communities have produced independent record labels, visual art, multimedia performances and fanzines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese three compilations are by no means 'Best Of' or collections of chart hits. They are compilations that endeavour (and we think they do  well) to take a wide-ranging look at the UK and American post-punk scene in the years from 1978 to 1984, but here almost everything stops in 1981, giving space to bands and artists that almost always didn't make it beyond the 45 rpm mark. A representation of the true 'Outside of Everything' of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eACID DROPS – Distance; Bromley, 1981 \u003cbr\u003eANOREXIA – l’m a Square; Hertfordshire, 1980 \u003cbr\u003eANOREXIA – Pets; Hertfordshire, 1980\u003cbr\u003eART FAILURE – In Vogue; Manchester, 1979 \u003cbr\u003eBLOATED TOADS – Happy Home; Sussex, 1980 \u003cbr\u003eTHE BOUNCING CZECHS – 1992; Bristol, 1981 \u003cbr\u003eTHE ARNOLD – God Is Walking A Tighrope; Kent, 1980\u003cbr\u003eREACTA – Sus; London, 1978 \u003cbr\u003eTHE RECORD PLAYERS – Dont Go Backwards; Kent, 1978 \u003cbr\u003eREPTILE RANCH – Saying Goodbye; Cardiff, Wales, 1980 \u003cbr\u003eSCHOOL MEALS – Headmaster; Leamington, 1978 \u003cbr\u003eSTEPPING TALK – Common Problems; Manchester, 1979 \u003cbr\u003eSTOLEN POWER – Little White Lies; London, 1981 \u003cbr\u003eSTRUTZ – Break Point; Scotland, 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Various - Postcards Vol. 2: D.I.Y Indie Post Punk from USA and UK 1979-1981","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":58596974526799,"sku":"Samizdat02","price":7.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2164\/3343\/files\/46862.jpg?v=1787986199","url":"https:\/\/www.vinylforger.com\/products\/various-postcards-vol-2-d-i-y-indie-post-punk-from-usa-and-uk-1979-1981","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
