This thread needs a bump. Even though I've probably spent close to $100 acquiring music discovered through it, I can't help myself...I need moooooore.

New Wave / Punk forebears...

Mentioned this cool Aussie band early on in the thread. Their album "The Jaws of Life" in particular really got me. Their bass player Jon Archer is great. Their early work (even earlier than these vids) is far more weird and raw, then after "Jaws of Life" they got far more commercial sounding. Not bad, but I kind of stopped following them.

Sick! This thread is back from the dead!
My love for Dub born out of love of post-punk bass has led me to a fantastic compilation by a man who understood the power of bass quite well. This compilation was just released and is an excellent showcase of just that.
Adrian Sherwood - Sherwood at the Controls. Volume 1 1979-1984.

Cool. I was quite into some of the On-U Sound stuff. Especially "Drastic Season" by African Head Charge. BASS HEAVY, YO.
I do remember them. I used to have a comp or split ep or something with them on it, though mostly I just remember their name.
Yeah, more grungy was how I always thought of them. Maybe time for a relisten.
All sorts of interesting sounds in there - some grunge, some hardcore, some good punk melodies.
Yup, you just cost me the price of a CD...went straight to Amazon and one-clicked that ***t!
Tell me about it. These guys are my new favourite band. Crazy good songwriting. The album that song is off (Attack On Memory) is my fave so far, but both of their most recent are outstanding, and honestly I love all their stuff.
Oh man! Sick to see Yuck get a mention! I have had their debut album on regular rotation since it's release.
Haven't checked out the albums since Daniel Blumberg left the band.
The bassline on this song is ridiculous. Dude's fills just leave my jaw hanging open. Amazing. I need to sit down and try to figure it out sometime. Overall just an incredible tune. Love it.
