EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: New Way Vendetta – “Love In Quarantine”


Modern post-Punk/New Wave disciples New Way Vendetta (Electric Frankenstein, Christian Death) have dropped a hypnotic video for their killer new track, the gloriously creepy “Love In Quarantine’ which we are debuting here at Ghost Cult! The track is from their new single release Love: Light (“Love In Quarantine” b/w “Light As A Feather (Stiff As A Board)”) out via Mosquito Hawk Records. This is the second virtual 7″ single from the upcoming Rites Of The Black Mask full-length coming in 2021. For fans of Gothic dance-punk, “Love in Quarantine” scratches all the familiar itches of the dusky club days of the early 1980s. The slinky track is heavy with anxiety building riffs and vocals and reveals a slick multi-faceted approach to writing. Which shows influences, but next copies them. The video, especially the old medical footage will unsettle you in places, which is a nice mix with the upbeat, but not a happy song. The track is available for purchase on Bandcamp, Spotify, and iTunes today, so watch the clip now and support this rising actContinue reading
