PLEASE BOOST.

Hi Fediverse! I'm 46, and am just starting out on my goth journey(you're never too old to start a new thing-don't let anyone convince you otherwise😉). Looking for some recommendations for goth bands to listen to, and figured here was a great place to ask! Please comment your faves below. Thanks in advance😁

@BowieSpace At the 'Leeds guitar goth' end, Sisters of Mercy and The Mission are a great foundation. For the 'London batcave', then Specimen are great. And of course, for elder post-punk, there's Siouxsie and the Banshees.
But other more modern(ish) bands of varying sizes (many of which are on Bandcamp, if not elsewhere) include The Last Dance, Rhombus, The Cruxshadows, Gothzilla, Witch Of The Veil, AlterRed, DeviantUK, Deine Lakaien, O Children, Frenchy & The Punk, Rosetta Stone, ...

The "Leeds Guitar Goth" sound spawned a lot of soundalikes, not all of them from Leeds. One band that really stood out musically was Cristabelle Children from Cardiff (Wales). Their name is sometimes misspelt as "Christabelle's Children".

This is one of their strongest songs, from a 1990 vinyl EP that they recorded in London:

They toured the UK with Christian Death.
It's a pity they weren't more successful.
