New Music Review – December 2025
The North East is enjoying a dark renaissance of activity and it truly is my pleasure to extol the benefits of my local scene.

I'm wrapping up 2025 by getting back to basics and reviewing three very local, very new bands putting out exciting new music I think Goths will enjoy. It's been a hell of a year - here's to 2026.
On this day in 1931, #Dracula the motion picture was released - setting its star Béla Lugosi on a collision course with a weird subculture many decades later!

Goodnight from Josh Bent, still troubled by the partially burnt-out negatives of a naked coven he found behind his new allotment’s shed. Goodnight from Peggy Mildmay, sleeping sound as the dead in the walls whisper into her dreams. Goodnight from Hookland.

Nice preview of albums here I'm keen on, including Crippled Black Phoenix and ADULT.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Twin Peaks: Sarah Palmer stares wide-eyed in terror. (Frank Silva a member of the film crew can be seen in the mirror. This was unintentional and considered a happy accident. Frank would later go on to play BOB).

I’ve a signed copy of this that I won in Smash Hits. Morrissey signed it in wax crayon, all in caps. Looks like a 4 year old wrote it.
On this day in 1985, #TheSmiths released their second album, "Meat is Murder".
It became the band's only studio album to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart, and stayed on the chart for 13 weeks.
