What current goth rock and deathrock bands are pricking you up by the ears. I know there are a slew of boring Christian Death and Sisters clones, but whats new! Personally I feel the best dark bands are....

eNTERTAINME.nt

Pins and Needles

Deadchovsky

The Horrors

The Holy Kiss

Black Ice

Bohemien

Frank the Baptist

All Gone Dead (hey, I like 'em!)

New Days Delay

Deadfly Ensemble/Cinema Strange

Igor Spectre

Chants of Maldoror

Gotterdammerung

Signals and Report

Spectres

I know not a lot of people listen to goth on this board, but is there any others you all like? Discuss!

Woe indeed. But if you really cannot find it, there is a copy of it laying around at Encore records in Ann Arbor. :)

The Brides are doing good new wave nowadays! haha. I still like their new album though! Bellmer Dolls, and pretty much all of Hungry Eye records. And hey, Murder at the Registry are doing Rozz ball licking very well! Cupido is ace!

Y'know, I think even Casket Bastards and The Hex could subversively be included.

The Hex broke up! I am so upset, they were one of the most up and coming and refreshing bands Detroit had. But hey, the Casket Bastards are still going. That Ghouls Delight CD seems interesting too...I need to snag a copy.

I wish the 3-D Invisibles would tour more than just Halloween.

Polyphonic Spree

I checked out these bands. A lot of them are very good, but I don't know how you define originality.

("no Rozz/Sisters clones")

One of the songs sounds like a remix to the Munster's theme and another sounded like some classic rockabilly with goth themes.

I love both of these, but I think we tend to get a lit pretentious about what's "real music" or "original" at times.

A lot of goth has rockabilly themes. As well punk, wave, indie, alternative dance, funk, etc. You just gotta find the good stuff. Glad you liked some of it. All music is real, but there is almost no pure originality. I mean Bauhaus were clearly ripping off Roxy Music, Bowie and Glora Mundi.

And one of my faves, Joy Division (hence--the eternal) was heavily influenced by the Doors.

One of their early tracks even sounds like Jim Morrison did it.

I really dug Cult of the Psychic Fetus, but I dont desire to pay $15 for it.

I guess I'll have to wait.

All goth rock/deathrock kids are pretentious about their music.

Usually for good reason.

It's always misinterpreted for some pretty lame bands at times.

(I.E. Goth being related to Marilyn Manson or Rob Zombie)

(I.E. Deathrock being seen as "death metal".)

It's hard to keep your cool when it's so easily misconstruded by a vast amount of people.

Exactly! Partly why a lotta deathrockers and the like are embarrased of the "G" word.
