Post-Punk

Post-Punk artists ran the wide gamut, but all were initially linked by an arty, intellectual spirit; from the obscure such as of Mission of Burma and The Fall, and Doll by Doll to cult favorites the Jesus and Mary Chain & Siouxsie and the Banshees. Whereas Punk wasn't exactly musically innovative, Post-Punk bands experimented with guitar textures, the ever-expanding role of synthesizers and darker themes.
