We once performed at a goth venue and seemed out of place and out of touch with the audience. We then coined the phrase &#8220;Banned From The Goth Club&#8221; to welcome the eclectic\u00a0sound and introduce it playfully.&#8221;<br><br>The songs on\u00a0<em><strong>Banned From The Goth Club<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0go through different emotional undertones. &#8220;Avolition&#8221; is fast and dance-driven with a good melody. &#8220;High Tech Low Life&#8221; takes a slower,\u00a0 more somber approach but ends with a very fast, intense electronic sound and metal vocals. &#8220;A Void&#8221; is a very introspective song that covers questions of nihilism, drug addiction, and societal pressures. The last track is a cover of\u00a0<strong>Eddie Murphy<\/strong>&#8216;s 80s &#8220;one hit wonder&#8221;, &#8220;Party All The Time&#8221;.<br><br>The video for &#8220;Avolition&#8221; was filmed at a local vintage arcade and bar that the band felt would match their aesthetic well.\u00a0<br><br><em><strong>Banned From The Goth Club<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is available on all major digital outlets including Bandcamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Neon Funeral - Avolition (Official Music Video)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cf1sKL0iqwA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BIO:<\/strong><br><strong>Neon Funeral\u00a0<\/strong>is a darkwave\/post-punk\u00a0band with hardcore screamo\/metal vocals in the spirit of an angst-driven Ian Curtis.
