Dancers in the Dark #11 : three of the best post-punk bands around right now! TOTAL RESISTANCE (fr · darkwave/electro clash)
A Parisian duo formed in 2022, Total Resistance draws its influences from early 1980s machine-driven post-punk. Blending chorus bass, new wave synths and EBM rhythms, their music is reminiscent of New Order, DAF, Front 242 and Parade Ground, with a touch of dark lyricism, led by desperate vocals reminiscent of Ian Curtis (Joy Division) and Robert Smith (The Cure). The band has already shared the stage with groups such as Ist Ist, Glass Spell, Sydney Valette, Møaa, Alien Tears, Sexual Purity, Self Life, The Essence, The Doctors, Fantôme Josepha, etc.

CURTAIN (fr · post punk - touching pop)
Formed in the early 2000s, the Parisian duo (trio on stage) Curtain plays melodic and captivating coldwave, firmly rooted in the French scene of the 80s and 90s – with Asylum Party at the forefront! After playing with the cream of French post-punk (Guerre Froide, Martin Dupont, Little Nemo, etc.) as well as the electro-dark big names of the moment (Ductape, Selofan, Kontravoid), the band will present the classics from their repertoire and, exclusively, several tracks from their new album produced by Franck Amendola, guitarist with Corpus Delicti.

THE ULTIMATE DREAMERS (cold wave)
Founded in Lessines, the birthplace of René Magritte, The Ultimate Dreamers are emerging from a very long slumber in 2021. Somewhere between cold wave and post-punk, their organic sounds blend into melancholic melodies that set the scene for themes dominated by dreams, the distress of love and social disillusionment.
The quartet unveils the single "Polarized / I Loved You?!" in September 2022. This was followed by the album 'Echoing Reverie', released 2023. Produced by Len Lemeire (Anne Clark, 32Crash, Implant) the album is unanimously acclaimed by the international press, and enabled the band to play extensively in Europe. In 2025 the band released their new album, 'Paradoxical Sleep'.
