This Heat: This Heat Vinyl LP - PRE-ORDER
āThereās an irony inherent in the term āpostpunk.ā Many of the groups that define the genre (think Pere Ubu or Cabaret Voltaire) existed for several years before punk. But these outfits had little hope of finding an audience until punk stirred up an appetite for the extreme, while also spawning a new breed of independent labels that could support challenging music. This Heat are a prime example. Formed in early 1976 by drummer Charles Hayward, guitarist Charles Bullen and ānon-musicianā Gareth Williams, the group were initially unaware of what was brewing elsewhere in London, yet they were driven by similar impulses: to make noise expressive of the eraās turbulence. Instead of punkās crude reduction of rock ānā roll, This Heat took their bearings from expansive inspirations: free jazz, Captain Beefheart, musique concrĆØte, and reggaeās disorienting dub techniques." - Superior Viaduct
- black vinyl pressing (please note: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo)
- original release year: 1979
- music label: Superior Viaduct 2026
