THE SNAKE CORPS
German Post-Punk Legends Pink Turns Blue on Tour in Support of New Album “Black Swan” Since forming in 1985, German post-punk stalwarts Pink Turns Blue have refined their sound into something unmistakably their own—elegant in its minimalism, emotive in its delivery, and enduring in its relevance. From their early breakthrough with If Two Worlds Kiss to their newest release, Black Swan, the Berlin-based trio has remained a vital force in the international post-punk community, shaping and reshaping the genre across decades.
Black Swan, the band’s […]
Manchester’s IST IST return with their fifth studio album ‘DAGGER’ - the follow-up to 2024’s ‘Light A Bigger Fire’ which charted at number 25 in the UK, breaking them into the Top 40 for the first time.
Once again collaborating with producer Joseph Cross (Hurts, Lana Del Rey, Courteeners) the record finds the band returning to their electronic-infused post-punk roots after making a leap into more mainstream sensibilities last time out.
Over their decade as a band so far, IST IST have forged a formidable reputation on word of mouth excitement, amassing a dedicated cult following in the […]

In 1980, Kirk Brandon formed Theatre Of Hate from the ashes of heralded punk band The Pack. Joining Kirk on vocals were notable punk musicians Stan Stammers and Luke Rendall, along with old school friend, Steve Guthrie and Canadian born John “Boy” Lennard, who revolutionised the band’s sound with his haunting sax lines.
Theatre Of Hate’s debut double-A-side single, “Legion”/”Original Sin”, topped the independent chart in 1980, and “Westworld”, their debut album, produced by Mick Jones from The Clash and released in 1982, held the number one position for 21 weeks.

Lone Assembly are a Swiss quartet blending new wave, romantic synthpop and dark, melancholic post-punk. Formed by Raphaël Bressler (vocals, keyboards), Glenn Le Meur (guitar), Jim Bodeman (bass) and Romain Segu (drums), the band broke through in 2024 with their debut EP That Never Happened — a release rooted in themes of grief, emotional distance and vulnerability, pairing ’80s cold-wave textures with sharp modern production.
Their forthcoming debut album Knots & Chains, due February 2026 via Irascible Records, expands on this world with thunderous basslines, hypnotic rhythms, reverb-soaked guitars and atmospheric synths underpinning Bressler’s deep, resonant vocals. Known for their […]
Rosegarden Funeral Party has been making their mark on the international post-punk/goth scene since the release of their inaugural EP, the Chopping Block, in 2018. Since then, the band has garnered critical acclaim from Post-Punk.com, LA Weekly, SF Sonic, Dallas Observer, and more.
Rosegarden Funeral Party blends traditional gothic sonic stylising with modern pop sensibility that supports emotionally evocative and relatable lyrics about heartbreak and healing. The band heavily focuses on spreading a message of kindness and loving oneself and others. Rosegarden Funeral Party’s music and message have earned them a devoted fanbase that continues to grow.
The Los Angeles trio of Chelsey Crowley, Giacomo Zatti and Andrea Mantione have gone from underground cult favourite to one of the most in-demand dark-pop acts on the international circuit - touring with Molchat Doma and The Soft Moon, earning remix collaborations from Drab Majesty and Curses, and selling out headline shows on both sides of the Atlantic. Their blend of dark Italo-disco, Hi-NRG and modern synth-pop is built for the dance floor, and their live shows are the proof. If you were at either of their previous Liverpool dates, you already know. If you weren't, this is your chance […]
