Sex Gang Children

Sex Gang Children is an early gothic rock group that formed in the early 1980s in Britain.

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.

Anniversary Circle

ANNIVERSARY CIRCLE sounds like LYCIA would jam with KILLING JOKE
somewhere in the 90s, in a town called Twin Peaks.
Alternative / goth / post punk, somwhere between the pulsating vibes of
Joy Division / Killing Joke, the deep melancholy of Lycia represented by
ethereal female vocals and the gloom of Bauhaus.
About the debut album Saturated Feathers (2010)
You’re born, you live and you die in your beds. On each occasion there is cause for celebration or mourning.
