About the artist

Skeletal Family

Skeletal Family, the gothic rock legends hailing from the rainy streets of Keighley, West Yorkshire, have been haunting the music scene since the early 1980s. Fronted by the enigmatic vocalist Anne-Marie Hurst, this band's signature sound is a blend of dark, brooding melodies and pulsating post-punk energy. With their roots firmly planted in the gloomy atmosphere of UK's underground music scene, Skeletal Family rose to prominence with their debut single "Trees" in 1983, a haunting anthem that solidified their reputation as one of the pioneers of gothic rock. Their follow-up singles, including "Promised Land" and "She Cries Alone," further cemented their status as a force to be reckoned with in the alternative music landscape. Hurst's haunting vocals, coupled with the band's eerie guitar riffs and pounding rhythms, create a sound that is both chilling and captivating. Their live performances are a mesmerising experience, with Hurst's commanding presence and the band's raw energy drawing audiences into their dark, atmospheric world. Despite their long history in the music industry, Skeletal Family have remained true to their roots, refusing to conform to mainstream trends and continuing to push boundaries with their music. Their latest album, 2012's "Songs of Love, Hope and Despair," is a testament to their enduring creativity and commitment to their unique sound. In a music landscape saturated with cookie-cutter pop acts and manufactured personas, Skeletal Family stand out as a beacon of authenticity and originality. With their dark and haunting melodies, they prove that true artistry knows no bounds.
