White China
They were a band from Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, around the early 1980s. They came out of a scene that included The Skids, Traxx and later Big Country. They seemed to be a commercially created and promoted band on TV rather than one that had risen to prominence by building a live following. After a single (Real World) or two they faded.

Ike Yard
Influenced by their punk upbringing, avant-garde schooling, and no wave surroundings in early 80s NYC,- but not beholden to any genre - Ike Yard managed to create a new sound.
By tapping into equal parts the krautrock experimentation of Can, the Neue Deutsche Welle of DAF and the UK post-punk dub of PiL and Joy Division they created sounds and songs unique enough to catch the attention of Factory Records, who made them their first American signing.

As a matter of fact, Heart Like a Sky was not even released in the United States.

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.

Beg
A successful surgery separated conjoined twins, Horace Glick and Stanley Hodge after some 20 odd years of life together. Each was adopted by different families and moved many miles apart. They lead strikingly similar lives, often defined by their love of music. Neither time nor distance could keep these brothers from reuniting in Lockerbie, Scottland to explore their love of music -- culminating in the formation of Beg.

Illuminate
Darkwave/Gothic Rock band formed in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1993 by Johannes Berthold. Scarcely another band among the German-speaking Alternative /(Dark)Wave-scene has polarized media and audience within the last eighteen years as much as ILLUMINATE. Either praised up to the skies or torn apart as „Schlager“ (a German derogatory term for bad pop songs) – be that as it may, for the last decade, Jo-hannes Berthold and his band have left their mark on the Dark scene...
