Post-Punk.com Hears Iconic Influences In Charm School’s Sound, Including The Fall, Magazine, The Birthday Party, and Mekons

Charm School is at radio now with Simulacra Remixed, which revisits the band’s earliest song and includes a mix by the legendary, late Steve Albini. When the original was released, Post-Punk said “this track bursts forth with lo-fi grit, howling with urgency. It calls to mind the chaotic brilliance of The Fall, the jagged edges of Magazine, and the brutal beauty of The Birthday Party. Screaming vocals cut through the static, carrying a political fervor that feels both reckless and righteous. There’s a kindred spirit here, too, with the Mekons, the sound swirling like a storm, messy and magnificent. [Bandleader Andrew Sellers] stands unflinching in this skin, throwing caution and convention to the wind, daring the world to keep up with the noise.” Read more here, and get the new mixes spinning today.
