I like gang of four, but I'd say that Wire is my fave post punk band.

Whatever floats your boat. Not a big fan of punk myself but that’s irrelevant.
Those gyrations in that video are what I call WPD. White people dancing. They move like that on a blues gig, too.
RIP

PS I like the photo in the link from an event called Rock Against Racism and everyone in the photo is white.
