In the first few decades following their self-titled 1981 debut EP, Bronx sister act ESG had been hiding in plain sight. The Scroggins’ minimalist funk-punk tracks—like the intergalactically-minded “UFO” and the kiss-off “Moody”—were beloved by intrepid crate-diggers, and were liberally sampled in songs by Notorious B.I.G., Ice Cube, Big Daddy Kane, and almost 500 others. Their low-key ubiquity eventually led to a career-spanning 2000 compilation A South Bronx Story. Arriving just as New York City was in the throes of a post-punk revival, the compilation put them on the map for a new generation of listeners, and eventually led to a proper reunion of the Scroggins family for a string of New York shows.
ESG’s minimalist approach put the band’s grooves front and center while also giving vocalist Renee Scroggins room to simmer; the taut 2002 EP Step Off sticks with that musical idea, and the band’s thrilling vitality remains marvelously intact. On the sprawling “Sensual Intentions,” a deceptively simple bass line—by Nicole Nicholas, Renee Scroggins’s daughter—struts opposite jittery guitars; when the two finally entwine, the song’s mounting tension boils over. “Six Pack” gets its flirtatious feel from Valerie Scroggins’s daughter, guitarist Christelle Polite, whose flinty, abstract riffing darts around Renee’s beckoning vocals; on “Step Off,” Renee tells off a thickheaded pursuer with an insistent bass line by her side. ESG’s combination of the funky and the firm are in fine form throughout the record, which asserts their place in the post-punk canon and, even today, demonstrates the myriad ways that their approach to funk was utterly singular.

The Sheffield Tape Archive is a Post-Punk Demo Treasure Trove « Bandcamp Daily
▻https://daily.bandcamp.com/2017/02/28/sheffield-tape-archive-feature
In the late 1970s, Sheffield—the former industrial powerhouse in the North of England—was a city in a state of flux. It was still defined by its manufacturing industry, one that churned out masses of steel and coal. Tall brutalist concrete buildings towered over the city’s skyline, drawing comparisons to Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. “Sheffield was bleak, colorless and derelict,” Jane Wilson of I’m So Hollow remembers, but it would soon become a city defined by its colorful musical output. Despite pockets of crumbling desolation and dreariness, Sheffield began to birth a cultural movement rooted in glamour, Dadaism and futuristic sounds that were both a contrast to, and a representation of, its surroundings. The music took many forms around this period, some groups harnessing the momentum of punk and distilling it into wiry and urgent post-punk, others reimagining the industrial force of the steel mills, whilst others went about creating a template for a new type of electronic music through synthesizer experimentations, tape loops and cavernous plunges into territories unknown.

L’Angleterre n’en a pas fini avec les sales gosses adeptes de #rock. Tant mieux ! Nouvelle preuve en est avec #Shame, quintet déboulant tout droit du Sud de Londres. Ce groupe plein de fouge juvénile, tout en tension et distorsion, n’est pas sans rappeler les non moins furibards Fat White Family. En plus du jeune âge de leurs membres, les deux formations ont en effet en commun un goût prononcé pour l’insolence et les prestations habitées.
Il me font penser à « Jesus and Mary Chain », groupe anglais des années 80.
Shame : « On espère avoir dépassé la génération X-Factor. »
