Postpunk isn't just for dance-club fiends and trenchcoated loners anymore. Sometimes this stuff just rocks, and hard. Witness the re-emergence of Mission of Burma and the ascendance of Australian trio Love of Diagrams. On Mosaic Guitarist Luke Horton, bassist Antonia Selbach and drummer Monika Fikerle -- all taking turns at the microphone -- delight in beefing up and fuzz-pedaling the genre's shopworn, spiky angularity until it's capable of denting reinforced steel walls. The low-end shoves, the kit slams and kicks, and the guitar smelts the licks into white-hot slag.
