Who says punk has to be short and simple? This week, I’m playing a lot of more technical, experimental punk music. This style of “post-hardcore” started in the 80s and was popularized in the early 90s with innovators such as Drive Like Jehu, Fugazi, and Slint, before branching off in a million different directions by the time the late 90s and 2000s rolled around.
