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.

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.

Wire exhibit little inclination to look back - rather they remain resolutely focused on producing music which is smart, vital and defiantly modern. Mind Hive is the group’s first newly recorded material since 2017’s Silver/Lead. That album garnered rave reviews and career best sales. Yet, if Silver/Lead set the bar pretty high, Mind Hive seems to have no problem vaulting over 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.

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.
