The genius thing about the subgenre of post-punk is that we now have bands like Phobos & Deimos who can mine inspiration from a vibrant variety of bands that existed during this period.

"The guitarist Zac Webb and I had been friends for years," says Phobos & Deimos singer Hans Burger. "We wrote a few songs, just for shits and giggles, while I was in South Korea. We sent recordings back and forth, adding layers, and eventually we realized we had something we were actually proud of. ... I moved back to the U.S. and to Olympia, and then we worked on getting a band together. Eventually, we had Dallis on drums and Joe Dye on bass."
