Rome Burns

Cambridge based Goth rockers, Rome Burns started off as an experiment between two friends when they were deliberating what they would sound like on recording. Over a decade later and two albums, Non-Specific Ghost Stories and their second offering, 'The Static Murmur' can be heard on many UK Goth dancefloors, which Simon Satori's distinctive vocals ranging out to the masses. When performing live, the band interact with the audience well and demonstrate a slightly disturbed sense of humour, bantering with the crowd and the occassional improvisation.

Last Rites

Last Rites consists of the Wright brothers (Paul and Nod) and can best be described as dark, melancholic rock with electronic textures. They were the driving force behind Fields of the Nephilim (1984-1991) when the original line-up of FotN split. After FotN the Wright brothers and the other remaining members (minus Carl McCoy) together with vocalist Andy Delaney started up Rubicon and released several EP's and two albums before calling it quits. In the late 90'ies the Wright brothers started up Last Rites to continue to evolve musically and stylistically.

RazorBladeKisses

Formed at the height of the millennium in February 2000, RazorBladeKisses is a unique band comprised of an unusual blend of varying talents. Hailing from distant Persia, the two female vocalists Layla and Azadeh create unique lyrical and dark melodies, which are ever contradicting, genre defying and teasingly challenging to musical boundaries. RazorBladeKisses deliver what can only be described as the secret recipe for a twisted dark fairytale that would have children crawling into corners clutching their dolls and toys.

Sex Gang Children

Sex Gang Children is an early gothic rock group that formed in the early 1980s in Britain. They were a very dramatic band, relying on heavy bass, tribal drumming, sudden mood shifts, a woozy cabaret ready sound that influenced the rise of the later dark cabaret scene, and yet another in a long line of goth singers with an odd, highly dramatic voice. Although the group only released one official album, their singles and various other tracks have been packaged into numerous collections, and they remain one of the better known bands out of the early goth scene.
