Beat City Radio #574 - March 15, 2011: Post-Punk, Punk, New Wave + Connect the Artists "Game"

Captured Tracks will be re-issuing two of The Wake's 7" vinyl singles, as well as a tribute 7" featuring covers by Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing, as part of this year's Record Store Day celebration slated for April 16.

The Wake were a Scottish post-punk-turned-postmodern indie band that existed from 1981 to 1994 and briefly included Primal Scream front-man and Jesus and Mary Chain drummer Bobby Gillespie.

Downloads are below, and if you like what you hear, look for these releases on Record Store Day (I suggest talking to the folks at Budget Tapes & Records to ensure the availability of these releases in Pocatello):
