Teen Gothic

Hi everyone, my name is Angelo and I am looking for members to start a darkwave band inspired by Cocteau Twins, She Past Away, Twin Tribes, Bauhaus.

I am looking for anyone who plays guitar, bass or keys, at any skill level.

If you live in the greater LA area and are interested in forming a group, feel free to send me a dm or reply to this ad.

Hi, i'm from Mexicali. I've been trying to make a bauhaus tribute in my city (Because I can't find any place to listen to goth music).

The bandmates of my band (I won't mention the name of it) are from other parts of the world, so it's almost impossible to make them travel + it is very expensive. Here where I live, most of people I know doesn't know about bauhaus or isn't interested (They prefer The Cure, Soda Stereo, Los prisioneros, etc.)

Any tips for what I can do? I'm new in the music area, i've been singing all my life but never organized something big from the start (besides the band, but that's something different).

(Those eyes were painted by me)

I've listened to Joy Divisions first album a few times because i assumed they were widely considered the first goth rock band, the Ramones of goth essentially. Only to now find out they're considered a proto-goth band apparently, the mc5 of goth if we're sticking with the punk rock allegory.

So what band then is considered the first 100% goth band. Not proto-goth, not an inspiration for goth, genuine goth music

People are so rude when they’re told that that’s not what goth music sounds like. It does not fall within any of the genres. Other bands in the same genre as TON are never called goth either. No one is like “My favorite goth band is Moonspell”. They’ll act like they’re so educated on the subculture and say things like “gothic metal is goth” yet never talk about other bands that aren’t TON.

for me, it's swedish post-punk duo "dial m for murder!". they released 1 awesome album in 2009, but seems to have fallen into obscurity, unfortunately.

I’ve been really into cocteau twins, the cure (specifically disintegration), and labonen hanover the past month. I like the way Etherealwave sounds, but I want to discover more bands outside of that!! It would be nice if someone could link me up with a playlist. Also, where do you guys purchase your jewelry and clothes from? I can’t seem to find a place with affordable necklaces and decor 🙁 I’ve tried thrifting many times but haven’t found lots of goods, and I’m not good at DIY. I don’t even know how to sew or anything like that! I would like to dress up more, but it’s hard with said circumstances 😢 Thank you!

Hi! We're "Our Visit To The Moon", a really new and unknown gloomy post-punk band consisting of five members from near Giessen in Germany, north of Frankfurt/Main!

Our first single "Blurry" was released last Thursday (Aug. 31st) almost everywhere 😁! You can listen to it at https://linktr.ee/ov2tm

Feel free to blast it loud, share it and add it to your playlists! 😎

There you can also find social media, Bandcamp and mail links.

Here's footage from our first gig. The song is called "Definition of Fun": https://youtu.be/OdMUg2vFj9s?si=iQ4qoZN3mZe4bC_2

Our Visit To The Moon (short OV2TM) are: Karol Oskar (me) – vocals and bass, Consti – keys/synths and backing-vocals, Martin – rhythm-guitar and backing-vocals, Felix – Lead-guitar, Sebastian – Drums

Our biggest musical influences at this point are The Chameleons, Pink Turns Blue, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Killing Joke, as well as Iggy Pop and the Stooges, old-school punk, post-punk and new-wave/Neue Deutsche Welle (soundwise) in general, Interpol, The Editors and maybe bands you don't expect such as Queens of The Stone Age, Kyuss and Brant Bjork's projects.

At the moment we're working on our second single, planning concerts for the fall and winter in our Hesse region and a band photo-shoot 😂.

We're excited to read from you and maybe one day we'll meet at a show? That'd be awesome!

I was browsing new bands to listen to I really like there music. I’ve watched a few of there live shows. There really good, if you haven’t listens to them, I highly recommend them.
