Twin Tribes - if you don’t know the name, you’re missing out. This darkwave band is from Brownsville, Texas and their sound is… well it’s Texas big. They’re dark, dramatic, atmospheric, hypnotic, and, while 80s nostalgic, starkly unique. The moment I heard them I was hooked and needed to know more. So after a great performance in St. Louis, I got to know them a little in the following interview!
Deathrock might have been invented in the U.S., or some may see it as the West coast American response to Goth. But it's clear that after the 2000’s deathrock revival you need to look to South America and Europe for the best deathrock acts.
And it's in Chile where the recent rise of Goth/Wave has birthed one of the best Deathrock bands of this decade. Diavol Strâin has been taking the scene by storm lately with their unique and visceral hybrid of deathrock and darkwave.
So its no new news! The new Hante. album FIERCE is out. After Kaelan Mikla dished out a glancing, unexpected blow late in 2018 and stole the show with Nott Eftir Nott; what will the French mastermind behind this new wave of Synth/Dark/Wave band have in store for us in 2019?
Right of the bat! FIERCE delivers the feeling of the project getting its own personal touch. Its always been a critique of mine that Hante. although amazing was a little too similar to Helene De Thoury's previous project Minuit Machine... but its a trend that began to change since Hante.'s previous album Between Hope & Danger, but now in FIERCE you can really notice that departure, saying THIS IS HANTE. without feeling completely strange and unusual.
Goth and Wave are on the rise, so what about Industrial...? Yeah, what about industrial? Well I’m not the expert in Industrial in this group (I prefer the whole Darkwave thing myself and even my industrial has to have a good dark synth for me to appreciate better), but I do keep my nose around the bush as my scene in Boston is predominantly an Industrial scene so as a DJ is smart to have some in the repertoire even if you like to drown in synths.
Welcome back weird kids! I've returned with another way to enhanced your wardrobe all on your own. This time, I'm solving a couple of problems I face and working on a goth fashion staple: band shirts in my size! I've also thrown in an incredibly easy shirt design that isn't band related, but is very unique!
Two Broke Goths is a YouTube project founded in 2017 by Mystic and Poe, St. Louis, Missouri natives. Named because “we’re broke, there’s two of us, and we’re goth”. Their content ranges from reviews, vlogs, tutorials, with a healthy dash of humor. And these kick ass women are keeping it busy, with 63 uploads to date since their founding
