Tears for the Dying

Sobre

Tears for the Dying is an Athens, GA post-punk/goth band for fans of Bauhaus, 45 Grave, Drab Majesty, and Selofan. With keen attention to atmosphere and ambiance, Tears for the Dying delivers a cold, pallid take on post-punk and goth rock music. Their live experience is rich and diverse, blending ethereal grooves with raw, angry deathrock. Leading the group, Adria’s unique songwriting and lyrical style is born of her experience growing up trans and autistic in a small, Southeastern town when being trans was a societal death sentence; neurodivergence was unacceptable, much less valued. Decades of religious trauma and bullying drove her to darker elements of art, and in a larger sense, society. When she was 19, she had her first epileptic seizure - the first of many to come. Today, she is a proud queer and asexual woman, and joins many others in the ongoing global fight against injustice, discrimination, and fascism. Tears for the Dying is found on most popular social media platforms such as Instagram (@tearsforthedyingband).
