The Cassandra Complex
Die Mitte der 80er Jahre gegründete Band The Cassandra Complex erlangte schnell Aufmerksamkeit für ihre stilvolle Verschmelzung von Elektronik, Postpunk-Ästhetik, gitarrengetriebenen Klanglandschaften und dem eindringlichen Gesang von Rodney Orpheus. Tracks wie "Moscow Idaho", "One Millionth Happy Customer" "(In Search Of) Penny Century" und "The War Against Sleep" katapultierten sie in ganz Europa zum Erfolg. Ausgedehnte Tourneen festigten ihre Position als eine der bedeutendsten Postpunk-Bands ihrer Zeit.
Rodney Orpheus arbeitete zusammen mit u.a.: Kevin Godley (10cc, Godley & Creme), Sinead O’Connor, Sisters of Mercy, Die Krupps, und Future Sound of London.
Vision Video (USA)
Vision Video is a post-punk goth rock band from Athens, Georgia that injects modern malaise into classic sounds of the late 70’s and 80’s.
The band pays homage to classics like the Chameleons and The Cure, while also bringing a refreshing modern element to the genre.
Thematically their music explores the effects of trauma on the human psyche and finding stability and agency in an insane world. Having served in the army and as a firefighter in the civilian world, lead singer and guitarist Dusty Gannon is no stranger to the darker proclivities of humanity and death itself. “I wanted to write music that helped people remember that it’s okay to not be okay, but that also doesn’t shy away from taking a stern look at the darker aspects of our flawed human existence.” says Gannon.
The band’s first two records were met with much critical praise, such as that from Pitchfork stating they create “dreamy tune tailor-made for the sort of wallflower who sprints to the dancefloor the instant the DJ drops “Age of Consent” or “Primary” at Goth Night”
Their debut LP “Inked in Red” and second LP “Haunted Hours”, were recorded and mixed by Tom Ashton of The March Violets at his Sub Von Studios in Athens, Georgia.
Vision Video will soon record their next LP “Modern Horror” at Maze Studios in Atlanta headed by Grammy award winning producer Ben Allen.
SJÖBLOM (Sweden)
SJÖBLOM is the brainchild of the multi-talented Johan Sjöblom Eliot, known for his exceptional work with Sweden's iconic post-punk/dark indie sensation, The Exploding Boy (Official), and Robert Eklind (previously in the goth rock band @Malaise)
In 2016, after a decade of dedicated contributions to The Exploding Boy, Johan embarked on a journey to share the songs he had nurtured over the years—ones that truly capture his essence without any compromise. While his music retains its core darkness, his melodic compositions have grown even more potent, occasionally taking a more deliberate pace. Hints of pop and indie influences now weave through his sonic tapestry, though the unmistakable pulse of his gothic heart remains ever-present. For those who appreciate exceptional indie and dark pop music, SJÖBLOM is a hidden gem worth discovering. A new album -DEAD OF NIGHT- is released the 1 of November, so don’t miss this next Swedish pop/post-punk invasion!
