We send out a monthly email - sign up to keep in touch!

Really we won't bug you much. But with Twitter falling apart and no other social media really taking over yet, a monthly email is a pretty good way to keep in touch. Sign up if you would like news. And if you would like to be added to our list for music blogs or for radio shows, let us know at any time.

Pete (writes the songs, usually plays guitar) has a side project (Pete Poet). We will keep you in touch on that too. But not more than one email a month in total - promise!

The alternative, dark and late night vibes of Postindustrial Poets

Postindustrial Poets go their own way. They have listened to a load of music. They have a taste for music with an edge - a few people have compared them to Tom Waits with an indie rock vibe.  Lots of people describe it as having a late night in the bar vibe. But the kind of bar they're in shifts from track. And sometimes they are just in the garage.

They do believe in romance - but mostly of the doomed variety. Who else writes a love song called I Gave You My Disease? Or pines for A Girl Called Winter?

Pete writes the lyrics and loves to tell a story. You can hear more from him on his solo project (Pete Poet - PetePoetMusic on a lot social media platforms). He sounds a bit more like a pop artist on his solo stuff, but the songs are still about rough sleepers and near death experiences... dark, dark, dark.

New Releases!

Postindustrial Poets next album comes out on 31 October - on the back of a wave of support over recent weeks. It is called Still A Stranger Here and we would love you to pre-save it.  This is the link

The new album will be out on 31 October. Pre-save it now!

An occasional Blog...

New album out very soon!  

We are thrilled to announce a new album release. Still A Stranger Here will be out on 31 October. 

Still A Stranger Here (the track) has already been released as a single - and is breaking records for us on Amazon Music (and with Shazams). 

The new album features new tunes and new versions of tracks that have done well for us. We hope you are going to find it a great listening experience! 

How can pre-save here - and we would love that! Get in touch if you would like tracks for a radio show, press information, or just to find out more. But don't forget to pre-save it!

 

One hour of Postindustrial Poets on RTL Today Radio 

On Saturday, Pete was in the RTL Studios for an hour long session on the music of Postindustrial Poets. The session included a track by track play of the PiPs' album Twenty Twenty Four. Pete talked about the inspiration behind the songs, and the sound Postindustrial Poets were looking for on the album. 

There was time too for the new Pete Poet and Time to Act single - Recurring Patterns.  Okay, we know you missed it. But the show will be repeated at 2 pm Paris time on RTL Today on Tuesday 16 September. We think that means 1pm in London and 7am in New York). Tune in! 

The Message is Love, the sound is psychedelic, the beat carries the vibe  

The Message of Love is the lead track on the three track release, Summer of Love. IT was mixed by Adam Whittaker of Deluxe Mixing - with one influential listener describing in as a “reinvention” . The guitars on this track are acoustic, played over a bass and drums backing track that keeps the energy high. The vocals are almost mantra-like - fitting the dreamy lyric - and a recurring, wild flute melody completes the musical picture. 

 

You can hear it on Spotify,  Apple, Amazon and pretty much everywhere else…

Postindustrial Poets lost in space or on Bandcamp? 

Just can't stop the Poets this week. There is a new track on Bandcamp, compared by discerning listeners to Nine Inch Nails, Syd Barrett and with some distorted guitar and retro organ. The lyrics ask what it would be like to have your consciousness transferred to an asteroid. You may or may not have asked yourself the same question…

Three pieces of news 

Nic Li has a new track  out and we're on it. In the background you might hear some electric guitar work, adding some texture, we'd like to think. Way back, there is a backing vocal going on. And easier to notice is a keyboard lick that we sort of like.  But the main reason for listening is of course Nic himself - channeling some CCR vibes on this track. Here it is.

We have a new track out all on our own on 25 July. We would like you, your family, everyone you work with, your schoolmates, and our children's schoolmates to pre-save it. This is the link. Don't feel that other people shouldn't pre-save. They are welcome too. 

Our collaboration with Time to Act, Friday Night Drinks,  was a lot of people's song of the week last week. Lots of comparisons to The Specials, early UB40 and the Clash which was nice. There will be a new Pete Poet/Time to Act collaboration later this year - probably out in September - also featuring a new guest vocalist, Malice Gale…
