ESG

Artist- ESG

Label- Fire
Genre- Post punk

For those who don’t know, ESG was a highly influential early 80’s post-punk (with funky basslines) group that remains highly influential to this day – all that early 2000’s stuff like the Liars (#5 here is used for the Liars’ “Tumbling…”)as well as anything on DFA records. If you dig the disco-dance-punk sound of LCD Soundsystem, you must check this out. ESG is one of the most sampled groups of all time. They’re kind of like the female version of Public Image Ltd. with sparser arrangements. Start with "U.F.O.", "Chistelle", and newer instrumental "Tiny Sticks."
