A crash course in North American post-punk, courtesy of The Lost End

Hailing from Norman, Oklahoma, The Lost End produce passionate and haunting post-punk with tint of psych. In February 2018 they dropped their self-titled album, and they’ve been on our radar since.

What became clear is that they’re hardly alone in the northern hemisphere. In fact, The Lost End had plenty to chat about once we started enquiring about the post-punk scene in their parts.
