1919 SHORT BIOGRAPHY:
Cult post-punks 1919 remain “head and shoulders above” the rest.
A pioneering goth band through singles such as “Cry Wolf”, their Machine LP, and two Peel sessions in the early ‘80s, 1919 returned after a 30-year hiatus to release 2017’s critically-acclaimed Bloodline LP (Westworld) and 2019’s Futurecide (Cleopatra). The band emerged from quarantine in 2021 with their fourth studio album, welcoming new bass player Ding Archer (PJ Harvey, The Pixies, The Fall) to the fold, and following vocalist Rio Goldhammer’s bid to become Mayor of West Yorkshire (NME). Citizens of Nowhere (Manic Depression) saw the band labelled […]
Skeletal Family are:
Anneka Latta – Vocals
Stan Greenwood – Guitars
Roger “Trotwood” Nowell – Bass
Ian “Karl Heinz” Taylor – Keyboards / Saxophone

Being one of the more prominent Indie / Alternative bands from the early / mid 1980’s, Skeletal Family enjoyed relatively major national and international success. From topping the National UK Indie Charts for three weeks in Autumn 1984 with debut album “Burning Oil” (above other contemporary northern bands The Smiths & New Order) to recording seven BBC Radio One sessions for John Peel, Janice Long & Kid Jensen.
Their impressive live show at […]

One of few European bands in the scene that has carried out several coast-to-coast tours in the USA. The Spiritual Bat is based in Italy and has performed at several festivals in Europe, such as WGT, Whitby Goth Weekend, Return To The Batcave, Gotham Sounds, Castle Party. The project evolves from "The Spiritual BatS" (plural), conceived in 1992 and features artwork by the Alchemistic Painters.
We are hugely blessed to have this extremely rare chance to put them on in the UK!

Kontravoid’s masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with his oeuvre that teeters between the EBM, electro and goth genres. His productions, such as 2019’s “Too Deep” and 2021’s “Faceless,” dive to the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs: there is no choice but to dance. But there is an uncanny softness and obvious songwriting ability to compose heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy—2018’s “Undone” has been a fan favorite since it came out […]

heart of the forbidden zone.

Wasted Youth, the original post-punk pre-goth cult band from 1979-82, features original members Ken Scott (Vocals) and Rocco Barker (Gtr), with new members Alan Temple (Drums), Josef Rosam (Gtr) and Sabrina Amade (Bass). Whilst paying respect and having great love for the ‘old’ Wasted Youth, the ‘new’ Wasted Youth are not a nostalgia act, and are eager to prove that they have something new to offer, both visually and sonically.
Wasted Youth, who reformed initially for one gig in February 2022, have gone from strength to strength ever since. They supported the Psychedelic Furs on all dates of their UK […]

New Model Army - "Unbroken" Album & Tour 2024
We’re happy to announce that our 16th studio album ‘Unbroken’ will be released on 26th January 2024, accompanied by a first tour of Europe (including the UK).
We started writing the album in 2021 against a backdrop of everything that is happening in a fast-changing world and in our own lives, but of course the process was interrupted by the much delayed 40th Anniversary tour and the whole Sinfonia project. We decided early on that our number one choice to mix the album would be the legendary Tchad Blake who accepted, […]

Sentinel returns for another night of bouncy dancefloor friendly EBM, Synthpop and Industrial tunes
From the ashes of Spiritual Bats (plural) founded in 1992, which in turn was spawned by visual arts group I Pittori Alchimisti (Alchemist Painters, est.1976), The Spiritual Bat fluctuates somewhere between old-school goth and postpunk, darkwave and psychedelic deathrock, with their own, unique blend of sounds, with Rosetta's witchy vocals and Dario's mighty, distorted guitars, The Spiritual Bat boasts participation in several prestigious events and festivals in Europe and the USA.
Based in Italy, the band has performed at Wave Gothic Treffen, Whitby Goth Weekend, Return To The Batcave, Gotham Sounds, Castle Party, Carpe Noctum, and have toured the USA from […]
