This week on TRANSMISSION, we celebrate the first wave post-punk scene: the bands that were bored of and felt limited by the punk movement back in the late '70s, the bands that wanted to flex their creative and artistic muscles and do more than just scream into a mic. And though an hour is quite limited to cover an entire groundbreaking movement, Jake Rudh will do the best he can by fitting in the big names like The Cure, The Smiths, Joy Division, The Psychedelic Furs, and others that missed many radars back in the day, like The Sound, Wire, and The Monochrome Set. Want to know where bands like Interpol, Block Party and Franz Ferdinand took direct influence from?
