Is post punk dead?

I really try to search out some old school post punker from the existing bands, but miserably fail to achieve. So can we say post punk is dead?
Everything should come to an end, maybe that's the answer.
Sigh.

In Camera [UK]

One of the first bands to be on the iconic 4AD label!
Born in London during the summer of 1978, they played a similar brand of post-punk.

In Camera came to Ivo’s attention when they opened a show for Bauhaus: displaying a spiky, P.I.L. , Joy Division and Section 25 influenced sound on their 1980 debut single "Die Laughing" (the first 4AD release engineered by John Fryer) the group had matured considerably by the time of their IV Songs EP at the end of the year.
The Fin EP was their 4AD epitaph: a Peel Sessions (BBC Radio 1) from 9 December 1980 which Ivo licensed from the BBC.

By 1982 the quartet had fallen apart.
Easily the band's strongest release, it featured the 12-minute monolith "Fatal Day".
Gray remained affiliated with the label, co-founding The Wolfgang Press in 1983, while In Camera briefly reformed in 1991 to record some new material for the compilation CD 13 (Lucky For Some).
