Okay, not to turn this into the DarkPop Underground, but if this sounds interesting, then I'd say check out the following. * My favorite release of 2007 was the new Birthday Massacre. MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/thebirthdaymassacre * The Dreaming is sort of related - former front guy from Stabbing Westward: http://www.myspace.com/thedreaming * I do a bit of co-writing with these guys: http://www.myspace.com/fiction8 * Apoptygma Berzerk is fun: www.apoptygmaberzerk.de * VNV Nation is on the dancy side: www.myspace.com/vnvnation Basically, if you take stuff like Skinny Puppy and NIN and mix it with atmospheric post-punk stuff you're in the neighborhood. -- _______________________ *Sam Smith, PhD* * » RazzberrySync Mobile, Inc. * *: Principal* * » Black Dog Strategic * *: President* * » Lullaby Pit * *: Editor* * » Scholars & Rogues * *: Editor* *voice:* *303.229.0619 /m* *skype**:** * docsammy22 *usps**:* 7660 Dyer Rd.
