Teen Gothic

this band is from Adelaide Australia in the early 80s. Rique Humour Live recording from 1984. Features members who went on to popular local grunge band The Lizard Train.

I'm really grateful for this subreddit.

I've always been dark alternative, come from a metal background, and been discovering goth music for about a year now. This subreddit is my base of operations; I've discovered all the goth music I like on here so far. I'm really picky about music in general, so it's a bit slow-going, but my playlist has 102 songs across several albums from a good few artists now, so I'm not complaining too much.

Thank you, to the people who keep posting songs, and the people who keep this place real and safe.

Can anyone else relate?

Do you have any references for bands on the Japanese scene( goth, darkwave, post-punk, ebm..) , both today and in the past? I find it hard to navigate…

I'm really happy that this happened to me and I never thought I'd ever be noticed by a favorite member of one of my favorite goth groups ever so this is just so exciting to me and I really wanted to share 😀

I love Fields of The Nephilim so much. Even though they are only one of my favorite bands, there is no band considered goth or anything else that can ever scratch the precise itch that Neph does for me. Not even the Sisters of Mercy (who I truly LOVE) can compare with FOTN in terms of similarity, though Neph is occasionally labeled as a Sisters clone, which I genuinely don’t understand. It’s as if people see hats and hear “goth” and think “OMG just another copy”. Anyways, back to the music itself: FOTN have a timeless, evil yet Angelic, heavy yet ethereal vibe that frankly causes my disbelief that human beings sat in a studio and recorded that fantastic shit. What do you MEAN an ancient and immortal god wasn’t resurrected from the core of the earth to call upon his minions!? They sound so 1980s yet an angry medieval dragon could bellow out in a mighty voice the words that Carl McCoy such does.

Some notable ones i already have are lesbian bed death, siouxsie and the banshees, Cocteau twins, mystic priestess, molchat doma, cemetery sex and scary bitches. It's also a plus if the group happens to be female led or lesbian.

Hi! I'm searching to listen to more Greek post punk/deathrock/punk bands with Greek lyrics too, with less electronic elements and more guitar, bass and drums. I've discovered the band Hekate recently and I really enjoy their sound, so I'd love to find more bands like them. If you have any suggestions, leave a comment
