Last week we introduced you to Cruel Black Dove, a bluesy darkwave band from Brooklyn who blend Kills-like sass and '80s goth sensibilities into tracks like their current single "Love Song". The band have released a video for "Love Song", which is the perfect visual representation of what the band is going for: dark and awesome. Check out the bassist! Badass.
The band are playing legendary underground club Crashin' In on Thursday at Galapagos in Brooklyn, so be sure to check them out!
Like a dark version of Yaz fronted not by Alison Moyet but Melissa Auf der Maur (stay with us on this one), Cruel Black Dove sound exactly like you’d expect band called Cruel Black Dove to sound: sex, spite, angst, hurt and revolution. The band are from Brooklyn and only formed last year, but if they continue cranking out the darkwave blues numbers, they’re sure to be a hit. We just signed CBD to RCRD LBL, and are expecting to hear many more gems like “Love Song” in the future. Enjoy!
Sounds like: Depeche Mode, Siouxie Sioux, Auf der Maur
