U.K. group the Nightingales had an especially angular approach to punk even as it was taking shape. Developing in the late '70s and through the '80s alongside both the loud, fast, snotty punkers and anarcho post-punks, the Nightingales took as many cues from peers like the Clash and Alternative TV as they did Captain Beefheart or Faust. Though their initial run was short lived and produced just a few documents of their ever-mutating sound, the band re-formed in 2004 for a much more productive second act. They performed and recorded often, releasing multiple albums like 2020's Four Against Fate, while revisiting earlier music with the 2021 reissue of their 1982 debut, Pigs on Purpose.
