Great band, lovely song, thanks.
It ain't "deathrock" btw... there's no way it could be such thing.

that's what we called it back then... now people call it "old school goth" or "post punk". no se importa, eh?
the music matters, the word doesn't. :)

It kinda the oposite... now everyone calls everything "deathrock"...
And you're absolutely right, who the fuck cares about the name, just the sound matters.
Cheers!

It actually is ...( 7 months ago by Bl4z3r82)
It actually is death rock if you look up the definition of the music, this is where goth started with select post punk bands like The Lords, Siouxsie, 45 Grave, etc. Death rock as a term was usually given to american bands, while darkwave was given to the english bands.

I was heavily into the death rock scene back then, and despite the fact I love this band and whatever the textbook definitions say, I never considered LOTNC a true death rock band. That label (if you must pay attention to labels) was reserved more for bands like Christian Death, Bauhaus, Sex Gang Children, Superheroines, Castration Squad, and 45 Grave. LOTNC had the look, but not really a death rock band in my book.

Too bad that The Lords are ignored by a big chunk of the Cleveland goth crowd, considering that Stiv Bators (RIP) is from here. Oh well, at least the punks here respect Stiv for his Dead Boys stuff.

And absolutely no-one gives enough respect to Rocket From The Tombs.Oh, well.
an analogy, if you will...
if you think of "underground music" as a religion, Stiv would have been an visionary mystic or prophet...most "goths" are too obsessed with ritual and organized ceremony side of things to love the raw unrefined power the man put forth.

there was also the dark side of the new Romantics in UK, which took on the name of the main club they occupied-Batcave.
the LOTNC weren't genuinely "deathrock", "batcave", or any other easily labelled thing.
Just as they denied being any "___ style" in person, they will not readily fit the post-facto application of these classification attempts either, either.
