During the near end of the punk scene in the late 70s emerged a new genre listed as ”Post-Punk”, which then spawned the subgenre known as “Gothic Rock” with Siouxsie and the Banshees at the forefront of the movement. Siouxsie to this day is held as the woman who defines the characteristics of what a goth is with her gloomy personality and unique fashion style at the time.

They were an extraordinary singles band with hits like Cities in Dust, Spellbound, Happy House & Hong Kong Gardens. They’d become a cult like figure for their unique sound & chic image. Influencing artists from the likes of The Smiths, Joy Division & The Cure, they were hailed as a standout band during the 80s and one of the best bands of all time.

legendary!!

my mum wont let me play them around her cause they remind her too much of her 20s

Imagine growing up during the 80s and witnessing them during their peak. Not to forget all the other bands peaking during that time too, New Order, Smiths, Cure, Cocteau Twins. The best decade for music.

The Drums!!!

this is an amazing covers album

One of my top 5 bands oat

In so I can get into them

Your mom was letting New Romantics and Goths blow her back out, she’s a real one

The best decade for rock, yes. Music as a whole I don’t agree on that

Nah just for rock, maybe pop too but not overall. So many bands emerged during that decade with new genres popping up too.

This rendition is so good.

I’d say start with Juju & Tinderbox, both should give you a rough idea of their sound with some of their biggest hits present on both albums.

IN

🖤

Had a feeling this would be you, thanks for the reminder to try again with them. Enjoyed everything I've heard from them, just didn't give em enough time. Whole discog good?

Yessir thank you boss, on my list

The main albums which I’d say are consistently good are.

The Scream
Tinderbox
Juju
Kaleidoscope
A Kiss in the Dreamhouse
Hyeana

The rest are quite patchy but still worth listening to if you like the albums above. 🖤

What a way to start the album

GOAT band used to blast Juju skilling in OG Runescape

Peep the progression on this masterpiece of a song.

Iconic video too.

That’s dope.

So great

This is probably my favourite off that album, the lyrics are so moving and the haunting backing vocals.
