Icarus Line "Big Sleep" 2004
It's RaWK day on thatsplenty, and frankly I am shocked that the sheer, brutal force of Icarus Line hasn't made them super stars. This band blisters. Its all there, the falling-apart rhythm section, the atomic battling guitars, and the menacing and incredible singer. After being taken on tour with Ink and Dagger before any of them were 20, the Icarus Line went on to eventually record the incredible Penance Soiree LP in 2004, confirming themselves as the greatest working band from California.

Turn Pale "Slow to Drown" 2004
Turn Pale is one of the best gothish bands running around today. What is so refreshing about them is that although Joy Division is vaguely involved in their music, they obviously really don't give a shit about any of the now-hip goth sound IE: they sound nothing like interpol. Fantastic live.

That Turn Pale song is veryvery Birthday Party, who, if I'm not mistaken, seems to be one of the few early 80's postpunk bands whose catalog hasn't been poached by the young whippersnappers. Nice find.
