Goth Badges – UK 1987
I got a bit fed up in the late 80’s with great rock bands making less than average records. The dark side beckoned, and I got quite immersed in a lot of the Gothy bands coming out of Yorkshire. The irony was that most of them wanted to be Led Zeppelin or AC/DC. Anyway, largely influenced by Andrew Eldritch’s Sisters of Mercy, and over-hyped by Sounds and the NME, a ton of mostly Northern bands appeared on the scene. From top right clockwise….Rose of Avalanche, Salvation, Rose of Avalanche, Salvation, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, The Mission. Most are now in the “where are they now” file
