Its a shame that Play Dead aren't more well known. They do have a cult following though. So Play dead were a english Post punk band. Some people associated them more with goth though. Anyway from around 1984 to around 1986, play dead released 4 studio album and toured with bands such as killing Joke(which they sound a lot like) and The Damned. Play Dead seemed to be unlucky in the record label department and as a result, they broke up(in 1986).

The singer sometimes sounds like PIL era, John Lydon.
