That hollow-body Rickenbacker tone in that Stone Roses track, that's all love right there.

New Wave / Punk forebears...

Is there room for some Gary Numan here?
I came across these guys the other day, and they are referred to as "punk". I beg to differ, at least with their most recent album. It sounds very Wire/Depeche Mode/Joy Division to me.
Def Joy Division influence there, right from that bass riff. I've browsed so much music on youtube recent I'm in need of a break before I get burned out LOL. I love the fact that there are so many modern bands doing this stuff, I need to see if I can find some local shows to check out.
Their earlier stuff definitely seems punkier, so it seems like their latest album is somewhat of an evolution for them. Overall, I dig it though.
Looks like they do Washington DC on March 11, seems to be the closest show on their current tour to you.
Peter Rizzo from Gene Loves Jezebel. Here's a classic show from the Discover tour 1986.
He's rockin that MM Stingray mostly pick style but also fingers and a bit of slap too. Excellent bassist!!

Met my Wife at a show on that tour lol. Still happily married to this day.
I did these videos on Instagram. Thought this post would be a good place to share them. I have a few on YouTube as well if anyone wants links.
Going back through this thread again on a rainy afternoon, digging down the youtube hole for more stuff.
I notice some have mentioned Television? Great band, their sound fits this genre, but being as they came about in the 70s, wouldn't they be more "pre-punk" then "post-punk"?

I don't remember if anyone's mentioned Pere Ubu here or not, Michele Temple's bass-playing is solid.
My new contribution to thread. Me on bass
Since this thread has wobbled off(pun intended)to current bands playing in the old school style, I must give a shout out to some friends in my home town, Emmaline Twist...
A gumbo of 90's shoe gaze, 4AD, Joy Division, a little Stereolab, early Cure and so on, the instrumentation is guitar, baritone guitar, bass, and drums.
Then there's this Sioux meets Xmal Deutschland outfit, making a big noise out of Europe...
I recently came across this New Wave band from Norway. Not really forbears, this is from 1982:
