Mark your calendars, children of the night. World Goth Day (22 May) will serve as the launch date for UNEARTH’D, a new compilation of darkwave, deathrock, art rock, and post-punk from Broken Sound Tapes.
UNEARTH’D found its origins a few years ago as a promotion for local bands in the underground scene. Broken Sound’s label boss Michael Wood reached out to friends whose music he enjoyed and began doing small runs of tapes and CDs. “I also did some reissues of 80s and 90s punk and indie bands like Scott Free, Ground, The Curtains, The Drag, and more,” he says. “Last year, I decided to stray from the cassette-only format and put out a 7” when my band, M is We, decided to do a split with another local post-punk band, Night Battles. Both bands will end up on UNEARTH’D.”
