The Cure and Goth Music

(1/6) > >>

Kid Modernist:
I have always been a big fan of The Cure, and reading up on them you always hear about how they set the stage for goth music to come.

So, liking the Cure and therefore curious about what Goth is I've checked out some "goth" bands, but they all seem to mostly be taking after Pornography which is one of my least favorite albums by The Cure.

My question to you guys is:

Is there any bands that seem to be more influenced by the style of Faith (Or even Disintegration), ie. slow gloomy dirges.

I haven't really looked into it all that much, so don't assume I know some obvious answers to this question. :)

Thanks for any help.

Kai:
I'm just going to go with the first two off the top of my head, and hten Khar or somebody can fill in the holes. mostly, because I"m really lazy to think of more than two.


Siouxsie and the Banshees - Juju is my personal favorite album by them, and it sounds like what I think you're going for. Later in their career they kind of move off into more synthy stuff, but this and their earlier albums are right up your alley, I think.

Bauhaus - In The Flat Field. Definitely get this. THE seminal goth band.

KharBevNor:
What bands did you check out?

Try Fields of the Nephilim - Dawnrazor, and what Kai suggested. This is a difficult question, because the Cure aren't really a goth band.

Kid Modernist:
Yeah, most people say that they aren't really a Goth band, but what can you label them as? Either way, I'm not looking for Goth so much as it links up with those Cure albums.

Thanks for the help though. I will download 'em all as I'm going somewhere with dialup for four months.

Kai:
I just call them goth rock for simplicity purposes. are they actually goth? No. but I'm lazy and goth is just way easier to explain to people.
