Social Youth Cult

Social Youth Cult are a post-punk group that love to cultivate the unusual. The budding
group are a force to be reckoned with in the gothic world, both in attitude and sound.
Having shed the skin of their early darkwave-esque efforts, SYC now command
attention via a heavy, rhythmic sound reminiscent of early Bauhaus. Refusing a firm
definition, their sound is atmospheric, yet sporadic; outward, yet introspective; gothic, yet Gang of Four. Social Youth Cult are in fine form, returning from an array of cross-
country dates that both stunned and captivated new listeners. The band’s debut album ‘The Lighthouse’ will be released on the 2nd November 2025.

1 Comment /

London’s The InSect release their first full-length album, “As It Ever Was,” in March 2026. Playing new tracks plus material from their two previous EPs, The InSect deliver theatricality, passion and otherworldly sounds in a compelling live performance that is not soon forgotten. Support from Newcastle’s Social Youth Cult, a young band rapidly rising in the post-punk scene in the North. They recently released their first album, “The Lighthouse,” drawing favourable comparisons with Bauhaus and Sex Gang Children. Plus London’s Blinded By Passion, a rising band blending darkwave, synthpop and postpunk sounds into a rich tapestry of haunting melancholy.

Corpus Delicti + Social Youth Cult

1 Comment /

Formed in Nice in 1992, Corpus Delicti quickly made their mark on gothic rock with their debut Twilight (1993), followed by two more genre-defining albums before disbanding in 1997. Their fusion of post-punk energy and dark melody earned international acclaim, a US tour, and a lasting cult following. Over two decades later, their reputation has only grown: reissues on Cleopatra Records, praise from Postpunk.com, Ascension, and Sens Critique (which lists them among the 35 must-have gothic rock bands alongside Bauhaus, The Cure, and Joy Division), and a dedicated global fanbase keeping their legacy alive. Reuniting in 2022 with drummer Laurent
