This Kind Of Punishment

New Zealand Post-Punk Duo

This Kind of Punishment was a band from New Zealand formed by brothers Peter and Graeme Jefferies after the dissolution of their post-punk band Nocturnal Projections. The group was active primarily in the 1980s and is known for its dark, brooding sound that combined elements of post-punk and experimental music. Their self-titled debut album "This Kind of Punishment" was released in 1983, followed by "A Beard of Bees" in 1984. The band's music is characterized by its introspective lyrics and innovative use of instruments and recording techniques, which set them apart from their contemporaries in the New Zealand music scene. Despite not achieving widespread commercial success, This Kind of Punishment has been influential within the post-punk and alternative music circles, with their work being reissued and rediscovered by new audiences over the years.
