Byronic Sex & Exile

On a mission to bring revolutionary zeal and romantic passion back to goth.
The bastard love child of Joel Heyes (Quasimodo/Action Directe/Viet Bong) Byronic Sex & Exile are on a mission to bring revolutionary zeal and romantic passion back to goth. Debut E.P ‘Crimes of Passion’ (2015) won rave notices and international airplay for its broody intensity and old-school sound, and new E.P ‘Under The Gaze of An Indifferent God’ promises to build on that in July 2017.
Line-up: Joel Heyes (vocals/guitar/programming)
