Before hooking up with guitarist Billy Duffy to form Death Cult and ultimately The Cult, lead singer Ian Astbury was in a group called Southern Death Cult. Apparently, Astbury liked the "Cult" theme. While the names of his bands had a common thread throughout the 80's, the music changed significantly. By the end of that decade, Astbury and crew were making some high quality hard rock, but here in the early days, Southern Death Cult sounds more like a cross between U2 and Gang of Four. Here they are with a track that got left off of their one and only self titled LP, only to be included on a future re-release.
