WL//WH Weekly Post-Punk / Darkwave / Dark Synth Tips

• French electro-punk/coldwave/post-punk five-piece from Paris, FRUSTRATION “Some friends” from forthcoming 5th album “So cold streams” on Born Bad Records                                                                   

Paris veteran dark punks Frustration unleash a bass-driven new single replete with that fidgety edge, energy-fuelled intensity, poignant sombre melodies and, mechanical, pulsing rhythms that made the band one of the most solid purveyors of post-punk.

• New York‘s dark electronic/minimal wave female artist Bad Penny “ein Gedicht”                                                 

Through lashing snare beats, pulsing droning bass, icy eerie synth strings over distant, longing voice, NYC‘s musician Bad Penny deftly delivers a compelling, minimal and propulsive dark synth ‘gedicht’. Not the most prolific, but absolutely an artist to be reckoned with…

• 3-dimensional Franco–Belgian garage rock/post-punk band, VISION 3D “Fannick” from the S/T debut album co-released via Six Tonnes De Chair Records, Belly Button Records and Wake In Fright Records.
  

Thrilling all-girl trio VISION 3D will take your lethargic senses by storm with a no-brakes chaotic andrenaline rush of stripped-down, highly-addictive, unwashed and heartfelt punky tunes peppered with jittery and angular post-punk guitar riffs, crashing garage vibrancy and alluring French speaking vocal hooks.  Anything new under the sun, but definitely a band to fall in love with!
