On the fifth episode of the Post-Punk Podcast, our Editor-in-Chief Alex Baker spoke to Wayne Hussey of The Mission, a band that formed in wake of The Sisters of Mercy's debut album First and Last and Always, and its aborted follow-up.
During the interview, Wayne talks about his work with several other bands, including Pauline Murray and the Invisible Girls and Dead or Alive. Wayne also spoke on what the original Goth scene featured at Planet X in Liverpool was like, as well as his visit to Danceteria in New York, and the origins of some of the iconic Goth fashions of the 80s, including the famous Goth cowboy hat.
Wayne discussed all of this and more, including the origins of some iconic songs from both TSOM and The Mission, with more in-depth details on these stories to be found in part one of his autobiography Salad Daze.
Wayne also launched The Remission International Charity collaboration, where various artists from the Post-Punk and Gothic Rock scenes came together in support of front-line workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic. You can find more info about the "Tower of Strength 2020" aka "TOS2020" here.
Be sure to check out Wayne's Lynchian duet of ‘The Delicate Balance of All Things” with his wife Cinthya for Michael Ciravolo's Beauty in Chaos, a collaborative track that heralds more to come between Mr. and Mrs. Hussey.

On the fourth episode of the Post-Punk Podcast, our Editor-in-Chief Alex Baker catches up with his old friend Doc Hammer following the release of his band Weep's recent album Too Much Nothing.
You may know Doc Hammer as Dr. Girlfriend on the Venture Bros, an animated program that was on cartoon network’s Adult Swim, that he co-created along with Jackson Publick.
But before Doc was known as Eric Hammer, a baroque, flamboyant, Dracula-looking, and often shirtless, Gothic Rock guitarist from the bands Requiem in White, and Mors Syphilitica.
During the interview, Doc discusses exactly what Goth is, as well as talking about Bauhaus, The Damned, Sisters of Mercy, and Siouxsie and the Banshees. As well as his acquisition of guitar that if you were to open a museum of post-punk, it would be the highlight of the collection.

In light of Clan of Xymox's recent release Peel Sessions on vinyl, we also discuss the two recording sessions for John Peel's radio show, which, as legends goes, is how the Genre 'Darkwave" was coined.
For the first time in decades, these Peel recordings are finally available on vinyl and digital formats through Dark Entries. George Horn remastered all songs at Fantasy Studios.

An in-depth interview with multifaceted artist, dance music guru, and label owner Mark Reeder, whose history deeply intertwines with that of New Order. Originally hailing from Manchester, Reeder moved to Berlin in 1978, where he became the German label rep for Factory Records.
Mark would then bring Joy Division over for their famous Kant Kino gig, which inspired the song Koma Kino. Following the demise of The Birthday Party broke up, Mark also convinced Nick Cave to move to Berlin. Nick ended up crashing on Mark’s couch, later forming Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds during his residency in the German Capital.
Mark also managed the band Malaria!, and formed his own band, Die Unbekannten, which later changed its name to Shark Vegas. Shark Vegas would tour Europe with New Order in 1984, and later Bernard Sumner would produce the band’s single for Factory Records, You Hurt Me, in 1986.
Mark’s documentary about his life in Cold War-era Berlin, B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West Berlin, also inspired New Order to use some scenes from the film for their music video for Singularity, a track featured on the band's last album Music Complete. (Reeder also remixed that track.)
Additionally, Mark just released his fantastic new remix album Subversiv-Dekadent...which may or may not have been his classification by the Stasi during the 1980s...
Mark also just released his diabolically good Dirty Devil remix of New Order’s latest single "Be a Rebel".
Also in the podcast, Mark talks also talks about the making of Anton Corbijn's Ian Curtis biopic Control, misconceptions about Curtis and Annik Honore, as well as his part in the creation of New Order's hit single Crystal.
Intro music by Jason Corbett from Actors. Outro Music by Korine.
