Teeth Of The Sea's present's their "Be Quiet Or Be Killed" playlist


Ahead of their performance at DRILL:LONDON this weekend (including a collaboration with Wire on Saturday night), Teeth Of The Sea have put together a post punk and beyond playlist for the Quietus to get you in the mood:

These dozen gems represent an attempt to plot a course of timeless post-punk iconoclasm that steers clear of the well-worn paths and the received wisdoms that have been perpetuated. These, still startling in 2013, are the eternal flies in the ointment..."
