The Gospel are a UK based cinematic goth band. Infusing ornate arrangements with vintage grittiness that oozes from 1970s analogue synthesizers, their otherworldly music deftly traverses the void between Nick Cave and Goldfrapp.

Fronted by L.A. renegade Jimmy Sweet with an all star female band featuring Danielle McCormack (Mel from hit 90’s TV series ‘My Parents Are Aliens’), Charis Anderson (Curse Of Lono), Sinead Bales (The Courtesans), Hazel Cotogno (Poussez Posse) and Saffire Sanchez (The Courtesans). Based in Manchester, The Gospel recently launched themselves onto the scene with a string of live dates, attracting an ecstatic review from Louder Than War’s John Robb who praised: “The music is mind-blowing…it feels like The Gospel are going to be making a big noise soon”.

The single ‘Lord Can You Hear Me’ was released in October 2023 and has amassed over 6.7K views on YouTube. They promoted this release with a debut US show in LA in October 2023 at the amazing Goth club ‘Bar Sinister’ where they secured a deal with Cleopatra Records. This show was followed up with a special performance at the Reptile Club in London in November where the promoter said they ‘stole the show’!!

Their next single, a cover of Madonna’s ‘Like A Prayer’, was released in May 2024 through Cleopatra Records and was promoted with shows supporting Miranda Sex Garden at The Garage in London and Birmingham (Castle and Falcon). For Halloween they appeared at the legendary Goth Festival ‘Tomorrow’s Ghosts’ in Whitby with Creeper & IST IST followed by shows in Sheffield and Manchester in November with Aurelio Voltaire.

Louise, a fan of their music herself, took time to catch up with the band recently. Check it out her exclusive interview below:
