i like the bit about the sisters :D
Christian goth ? Some stretching of Evanesence having been a christian band and then misclassifying them as goth rather than metal ? HIM likewise are mostly a metal band

They didn't name check you like every other goth article I've read in the last few years ;p

Yes its a disgrace! Actually I only tend to get named in 'goth kills girlfriend' type stories, which is a bit depressing!

Not a bad article indeed but classing Walking on your Hands as a Goth classic is truly appaling.

The point about nu-Goth being simply a post-Camden fad is spot on though and you would never see The Horrors playing traditional goth venues or crowds.

Same as you would never get Goth bands playing traditional Indie venues which takes us back to last weeks article.

A 10 minute fad which will be replaced next month by another breed of bands who just so happen to look like another group from the past meanwhile Goth bands who have been touring and releasing music for many years get little to no popular press coverage.

Little changes.

Ha - I love Walking on Your Hands!

It's OK but not really a classic, at least not in the same league as say "She sells sanctuary" or "Happy House".
