The History of Goth

We explore the world of Goth music and culture with John Robb, author of The Art Of Darkness: The History of Goth. John provides a comprehensive overview of the Goth scene, from its origins in post-punk to its lasting legacy today. He starts his account with the goths sacking Ancient Rome and goes on to cover gothic literature and the musical influences and impact of bands like The Doors, The Velvet Underground, David Bowie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure and Bauhaus.
