Those that were there at the time understand that labels were for those that wanted to control us, great post!
-
My 7" version of this (which I think is original) has a much longer bass and drum intro. Great song.

i see theres one retard who pushed the dislike button

Great band one of the best if not THE best of the post punk era.
-
I fuckin love this band
-
I worked at The Batcave and lived with Jonny Slut who is also my daughters godfather and as I recall TOH were never played there. They were very underrated and deserved more sucess than they got. I'm off now to look for some old Virgin Prunes footage :)

@ThePunkPostPunkTribe Actually at the time no one said "Post Punk" or "Goth" for any of those bands. Bauhaus, TOH, SOD, ASF, Sex Gang, March Violets, Balaam & The Angel, Cult, etc. were all called "Positive Punk", at least in the UK.

Go back and listen to the early post punk goth bands: they all sound tribal and Angry ....like this. Christian Death were well after the fact.eg: Ausgang, 1919, Deathcult, UK Decay, Flesh for lulu (especialy Roman Candle).
Bauhaus were there at the Birth of post punk goth, but so were the banshees UK decay and killing Joke.

When music and songs made us speak out
-
Stan Stammers (Bass) & Luke Rendal (Drums) were in The Straps before Kirk nicked them from us to form TOH
I remove BlackInDreams comment by mistake:
BlackInDreams comment:TOH & SOD were post punk. For Goth, check out Christian Death or Alien Sex Fiend and spot the difference.

If i talk about the 80's and not now...For me its all the same roots at the base but since peoples are picky on label, Theater of Hate is (pure/Early) Punk / Post-Punk, It fellow The Pack (the band of Kirk Brandon before that one),they never sounded goth(no matter what sub-gategorie),they never dress goth,There is nothing about them to really tag them goth beside its into the same time area, Punk and goth was almost the same at that time anyway.
