I wrote this piece for Bandcamp about the current dark punk and deathrock revival. Of course, when I started Wardance in Dallas in Summer 2012 and Funeral Parade in Austin that same year, part of the goal was to play some of these current acts, and to tie them into the broader history of postpunk, deathrock, punk, and goth (instead of just focusing on "old school" and nostalgia music). These are some of the better groups in this ongoing movement and how they came to be.

ROTTEN UK biography It’s a fact that there's still lost eldritch underground sounds of the '80s still being resurrected from the darkest crypts, and ROTTEN UK are one of those spectres that proves this: bursting from the coffin, summoned to this age to remind us that the impending dooms that we have been warned about in past times are right here, now banging on our doorsteps. With massive influences culled from almost all anti-authoritarian genres of the '80s, they stir a cauldron of Dickens-esque UK82, anarcho-punk, post-punk, hardcore, deathrock, and heavy metal, creating a sound that is as much a dead fetus in the womb as it is a ghost in chains. Melding together Lovecraftian and occult mysticism with sociopolitical commentaries and cries of revolution in an age that is seeped in blind-eyed madness constantly on the verge of doomsday, these vamps come spitting, smashing, bleeding, and frothing, haunting your turntables and clubs only for their own sheer bemusement, calling out the hypocritical zombies of today in hopes that maybe, just maybe, all us outcast scum will get a mild bit of enlightenment before the chaos fully engulfs us.
