Findom + Lunch Money Life + Handle
Three of the best representatives of post-punk's new generation.
Meet a trio of acts that represent a new generation of post-punk commitment. First up, London-based no-wave-meets-industrial jazz act Findom, aka Financial Domination. With members from as far afield as Buenos Aires, Tokyo and Manchester, they create a mutating cacophany of cultures and sound, tackling issues including police corruption, transphobia and racism.
Also from the Big Smoke, five-piece Lunch Money Life combine unhinged punk energy with club dynamics and the tightness of a well-drilled jazz-fusion group, best heard on recent single Telecommunion, their most daring work to date. Completing the line-up is Manchester's Handle, an unusual trio - they dispense with guitar in favour of bass throb, drums and keyboards, to create a distinctive take on taut post-punk inspired by A Certain Ratio and Liquid Liquid.
