For people interested in new goth music

Not many of us managed to get to see the aircrew at the violets gig, which was a shame. They arn't a band I know well, but I've seen 'em a few times and liked what I've heard, and I plan to pick up an album.
I have a feeling that lot of hard working modern goth band are all to often ignored - people won't dance to them in clubs because they want to hear 80's classics etc etc.
I've compiled a short list of bands that are doing their best to earn "the goth dollar" at the moment. Hope some of you folky folks appriciate it
SBA Of the ones on here, Peachey clean I liked best.
Rome Burns Sadly some of this bands best tracks arn't up on the myspace, but they make quality poppy goffik music.
Univited Guest If Devil's Toybox doesn't get you jiving you have no soul.
Ghost Of Lemora This is the main website but it has an automatic music player. It ain't my fault I'm beautiful of Dread the day (the cities rise) are a couple of tracks that stand out for me, although its all good.
Other more established bands that still wave the flag for goth as a relevant modern genre include London After Midnight (Really really gothic, but don't sound like anyone other than themselves, had a new album this year). The Cruxshadows (Not to everyones taste but well loved by a vast horde of (mostly) PVC clad young female goths. They have an electronic pulse, but they are goth rock at heart. Star Industry rock. Did a famous tune called ninties, which gets a lot of club play but their other stuff is seriously good stuff. NFD are a bit like the Nephilim, a little heavier, touring and releasing music regularly.
