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.

The Ultimate Dreamers + Social Youth Cult

The Ultimate Dreamers were influenced by Belgian cold wave and British post-punk but the teenagers set upon their own path. Frigid, organic tones with tainted with melancholy melodies, sometimes catchy, sometimes verging on the dissonant, serve as a backdrop for themes dominated by raw dreams, distressed love and social criticism. Between 1986 and 1990, they wrote and self-recorded numerous tracks, which resurfaced in 2020. They are back in a new configuration including three original members and a new one. The repertoire is exhumed, resuscitated and enriched with new creations, which they will bring to The Black Bull in Gateshead ahead
