The late 1970s, for instance (nuclear paranoia, the dawn of Thatcherism, Austin Allegros everywhere) spawned Joy Division and post-punk.

Nevertheless, great bands fit their moment – and, with No One Can Ever Know, The Twilight Sad's time has come.
Mark Devine, James Graham and Andy MacFarlane of The Twilight Sad
