    He’s got a great sound. I happen to stumble across him on YouTube. He did a number of off genre covers in the last several years that were a lot of fun. And I guess he’s finally come around to accepting being labeled as goth LOL. If I’m not misremembering I think he objected to the label at first. Of course most artists are out to create their art. And less concerned with genre etc.

    Though I did get a good laugh at Dr Arthur krause’s response when they were accused of being goth.

    Some people call it goth and we are fine with that.

    Straight from their Facebook page

      Yeah I think a lot of bands don’t want to be labeled “goth” bc there’s not a huge music fanbase that seeks out goth music, so you have to call yourself post-punk or something. Even if you don’t care about “huge” fame and just want enough of a fanbase to play concert tours. It might be different in Europe, dunno.

        My experience is that even fewer people know about post punk lol. I would have just figured that it was because of goth and Goths traditionally having been sort of outcasts and the better jokes at least when I was growing up. Things may be different now. But back in the 80s 90s Etc that was generally the case and yeah a lot of people probably weren’t trying to Target those groups
