I declare the post-punk revival official over. It probably was already. But if you weren’t sure, this is me poking it in the eye with a stick just to be sure: a shitty manufactured band out of Australia called the Cassette Kids. I’ve looked all over for a biography and there is none to be found, which means they were probably assembled. And if they weren’t assembled, how completely embarrassing for them.

When a sound can be stamped out in a factory, when it can be manufactured for profit by labels and producers instead of by artists, when it no longer contributes anything to the artistry of music, the sound is dead. You killed it.
