Post Dial is an electronic-punk duo from Istanbul, Turkey, formed by Yigit Bulbul (guitar, vocal, synths) and Sinan Tinar (drums, vocal, synths).
The duo’s first EP ‘Lights Off Here It Is’ which was released at the end of 2007; melted an initiative essence of groups like New Order, Primal Scream, Depeche Mode, The Chemical Brothers and musical movements like post-punk and Madchester with disco ball like reflections on top. Mesmerizingly distracting indeed. Lights Off Here It Is EP contains five songs, all which can be listened at www.myspace.com/postdial. All of these tracks in this EP are written by Post Dial and recorded, mixed and mastered at their home studio.
Following the release of ‘Lights Off Here It Is’, Post Dial started performing live. Since January 2008, Post Dial started performing live at Dogzstar and Peyote, acclaimed as the home of indie music in the local scene.
The most striking characteristic of Post Dial is their live performances; which are far more enhanced by their visuals and their concert posters that may stick to your mind with their designs as well as their provocative headlines like "I don't like Post Dial!" or "I went to this Post Dial concert and all I had was a lousy one night stand!."
On stage, Yigit and Sinan play all the songs from ‘Lights Off Here It Is’ as well as their new songs like ‘Will You Let Me Sleep’, ‘Get It’, ‘Sway’, ‘Next Big Thing’. For now the new songs can be listened only if you experience them live, until the second EP is released. Rest assured, you are in good hands of Post Dial if you want to dance.
In a very short time Post Dial achieved a succesful national coverage including Rolling Stone Turkey, Time Out İstanbul, Billboard Turkey, ROLL, Bant Magazine, Bluejean and various newspapers all over the place.
Spin Earth also featured Post Dial after their Rock'n Coke performance, to be found at www.spinearth.tv/articles/2389
