Post-Punk

Post-Punk is a genre of rock music that emerged in the late 1970s as music started to get more complicated from the minimalism of punk rock. Early Post-Punk is now known as New Wave and Post-Punk is now considered more atmospheric and avant-garde than New Wave, with bands like Swans in their heyday. Swans are most famous for their Post-Punk work in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Swans' work in the Post-Punk field started with the introduction of keyboardist / vocalist Jarboe in 1986. Jarboe brought more melody and musicality to the music, resulting in 1987's Children of God, a heavily acclaimed work by the band. The era ended in 1996 with Soundtracks for the Blind, a brilliant piece of work that many consider Swans' greatest album.
