Teen Gothic

Bands and artists that use mostly synths/electronic music too. Hearing music live and not being too pleased on how they sound IRL will not keep me from continuing to listen to them. Just wondering about others’ experiences with live goth music.

Well, sometimes you just need to hit that spot, you know when you’ve had a shit week (or year), and listening to something so sad and melancholy actually makes you feel better?

For me, The Cure’s Disintegration album used to do that but I think it’s lost that vibe with me now, any other suggestions? Newer work too would be good!

Gonna be a lot of Theater Of Pains in here but I just want to say that the best for me is the very newest one. Evil Becomes Rule. A sin? That's fine. It sounds so much like a band rocking but still so dark and not retro sounding. Guitar has hardly any, if any, effects on it which seems to be what I want in goth rock.

I'll start! Mine is Rites and Ritual by Traitrs.

I think it’s good but overall one of their weaker albums. It has an amazing atmosphere though.

Hi everyone! Our cold-wave/post-punk duo Ostatnia Klatka have just released a debut album and started touring in Poland.

Freezing cold guitars, gloomy vocals, bass that could rearrange your room, synths straight from the 80s. We sing about living in Eastern European city, about our fears, about our lives.

That's what we wanted to say about ourselves, but tbh we would love to hear what YOU think about our first album. Your feedback would be much appreciated!

Here we picked some songs that are a good overview of our music, but we really encourage you to check the whole thing as it's quite diverse – and say a word or two what you think abuut it :).

Urobor – our goth side
