DECEITS♱ “Too romantic for the punks, too fierce for the goths. We play passionate post-punk” ♱
Formed in late 2021, Los Angeles’s DECEITS are putting the passion back in post-punk. Named after a track from the UK’s highly obscure & underrated The Wild Flowers, the trio have garnered a cult-like following in the goth/alternative underground through their catchy melancholic soundscapes and energetic live performances. Not afraid to stand out, DECEITS took it upon themselves to play post-punk that wasn’t restricted to just being cold and monotone. Founded on a shared endearment of bands like The Cure, Human Tetris, Motorama, The Chameleons and For Against, and not afraid to pull from influences outside of the “goth” musical tree, the band is made up of Kevin “Puppy” Moreno (Vocals, Bass Guitar, Keyboards), Skylar Francise (Guitars) and Francisco Saenz (Percussions).
After a steady release of well received singles, DECEITS released their debut studio album “If There’s No Heaven…” in November of 2023 independently. Powered by modern de facto post-punk goth anthems like “Drowning In An Empty Sea” and “Mi Amor, Mi Vampira”, the album would be well received leading the band to tour across the U.S., headline their own show at the prestigious El Rey Theater, invited to play with legendary bands in the scene like The Chameleons & Diva Destruction and being invited to perform at 2025's Cruel World Festival.
For fans of: The Cure, New Order, Human Tetris, The Chameleons, Bauhaus
PAST SELF
past self is an ethereal post punk band from Las Vegas, NV consisting of Sung (singer), æther (synth player), and Spektor (bassist). They take aesthetic cues from visual kei and blend Korean and English lyrics along with swirly effects driven guitars, heavy bass, and angelic synth sounds to bring you what they call “k-goth”.
NIGHT RITUALZ
Night Ritualz is the sonic embodiment of moody, haunting soundscapes fused with raw energy. Drawing inspiration from iconic bands like "Depeche Mode", "Deftones", & "At The Drive In" their music blurs the line between dark wave, electronic, EBM, & post-punk creating a genre they call “fuck wave.” With deep roots in Mexican culture, Night Ritualz also weaves Tejano influences into their songs, blending English and Spanish lyrics to tell stories that are both deeply personal and universally relatable. From shadowy atmospheres to pulse-pounding beats, their sound is a reflection of both sadness and vitality.
