Here's a few of my favorite obscure Goth/post punk bands.

Screams for Tina - Fool's Gold

Parchment Prayer-Change

Tones on Tails were started by the guitar player(daniel ash) for Bauhaus so they aren't all that obscure. After Tones broke up Daniel started the band Love and Rockets.

Tones on Tails-O.K. This is the Pops

Daniel Ash is an amazing guitar player!

I had Screams For Tina's 1993 album. It was awful--only two decent songs I can remember ("Eleven Eleven" and "Kristen"). I don't think the earlier track posted here is any better.

90s gothic rock was such a ghetto. The scene ate itself over and over with very few new ideas.

Here is a late 80s track I still like to this day:

Nosferatu - Bloodlust (1989) - very early track by the band with their original vocalist before they became a parody.

Another 80s track I fondly remember:

Ghost Dance - River of No Return

Yeah the goth music scene lost a lot of its passion and uniqueness in the 1990's.

One new(ish)so called Goth band i absolutely hate is H.I.M.

As far as Screams for Tina. I think their first and only full length album was decent. I think it suffered from poor production and wasn't as Gothic or aggressive as i would have liked. The songs i do like on the album are Kristen, Devils, Eleven Eleven, In Her House and suffer. I still listen to those songs a few times a year.

I do like Nosferatu's first two full length album's and if i remember correctly Ghost Dance had a couple singles i liked(back in the day).

Hey, that's one of my favourite rock bands! I agree with you on the fact that they're not a goth band though. I would describe their music as a combination of Depeche Mode, Billy Idol and Black Sabbath. They're very humble guys and their music isn't very popular, even here in their home country, so I'm curious to know why the hate?

Ehm, they're actually the most commercially successful Finnish band ever.

I find them to be good musicians that are doing commercially viable music to simply keep on being able to support themselves that way. They're far more tolerable than those American bands that use similar themes, power pop choruses fused with metal riffs and so on. I suppose the "hatred" stems from many people thinking that they are the archetypical example of the bands that "emo kids" listen to (they probably did influence them). In any case, "absolutely hating" them is pointless.
