Punk 2020

Marking 40 years since Joy Division's epic final album, Closer, and Ian Curtis’ tragic suicide, Joy Division’s surviving members revisit their 1980, while MOJO’s covermount CD, Atmospheres, traces the band’s fertile milieu and legacy through Wire and A Certain Ratio to Idles, Jehnny Beth and Black Country, New Road.

The apocryphal tale of the Stooges performance at the Goose Lake festival has been told countless times over the past five decades. Bassist Dave Alexander, due to nerves or overindulgence or whatever you choose to fill in the blank, absolutely spaces in front of 200,000 attendees. He does not play a single note on stage. He is summarily fired by Iggy Pop immediately following the gig. Here starts the beginning of the end of the Stooges.

First ever officially licensed CD release by Fingerprintz brings together 22 tracks from their 1979 debut single to the final recordings of 1981. All 22 tracks, over 78 minutes, have been dynamically remastered from original master tapes from the Universal Music archive for the best possible sound quality.

13th studio album by Eddie Spaghetti und his SUPERSUCKERS! Raw, direct and often funny, "Play That Rock 'N Roll" has become exactly the album of a band that spent thirty years uninterruptedly on the street (with the exception of a one-year break during which Eddie struggled with throat cancer). No frills, no guest stars and no collaborations either: This album deserves to be heard because you can feel that the Supersuckers are passionate about it.

Highly influential post punk stars, The Psychedelic Furs release their new album, their first in nearly 30 years, Made Of Rain, through Cooking Vinyl.

This re-issue of the 2007 album Reformation Post TLC comes with two bonus discs of demos, early rough mixes and alternate versions, as well as a fourth disc; the Live at Hammersmith Palais album – as with the other Fall reissues these have notes by Fall guru Daryl Easlea and have been mastered by long time engineer Andy Pearce.
