ANOTHER trio of rock cubs in thrall to long-gone musical movements.

But wait! The Victorian English Gentlemens Club aren't another new wave band in skinny tie and heavily-pressed trousers - prepare to be weirded out by the zombie-fied sound of The Cramps and Bauhaus.

There's a definite old school goth feel to The Tales Of Hermit Mark - witness singer Adam's shrill doomy voice, the buzzing guitars and some ghostly backing vocals from Louise and Emma like those twins from The Shining.

Released September 12, 2005.
