We always had touring 90s goth bands visiting the city, such as Rosetta Stone, The Marionettes, The Ancestry, Litany Of Fear, Autumn Of North and Space Rats (guess who’s been rifling through their demo collection) and you were always guaranteed a good night at The Old Angel, The Salutation Inn and Rock City. Nottingham was a good hub for all things goth, and even now after 30 years or so we’re seeing many of the same faces frequenting local goth nights (such as Spellbound and Nightmare). What was it like being in the scene at that point, especially in your home town of Nottingham? You all really cut your teeth in the UK gothic scene in the 90s, when we were seeing the second wave. The band is made up of Ryan (ex-Emma Conquest), John (ex-Die Laughing), Tony Ghost (ex-Every New Dead Ghost) and Mike (ex-Dick Venom & The Terrortones). We would have hoped for more albums out after this long, but we do like to take our time to get things sounding right, and being self-funded always adds a frustrating edge to releases in terms of lead times, so we’ve probably done pretty well to get out a 28-track album this year! We had no idea what to expect when Ryan and John decided to combine their differing songwriting approaches, or what form the music would take.
Did you think the project would last as long as it has? You are celebrating 15 years of being a band and releasing albums under the In Isolation name. Thanks for the biscuits, we’ll have chocolate digestives (dark). There is tea and biccies, but don’t mind the spiders, they just get a little grumpy when ignored. Welcome to the crypt, British goth-meisters, In Isolation. apart from antioxidants, you will have to keep reading to find out all about everything. What makes a band like In Isolation tick?…. Their music is beautiful and contemporary, with fingers trailing back into In Isolation’s gothic roots and I was able to ask a few pertinent questions of the band, with the wonderful Ryan (congrats on getting married!!), answering for the whole. This bunch of likely lads have indeed also written music for/or had music chosen, for both movies and television, which isn’t a bad accomplishment for some Notts boys. That is a lot of music! All four members of the group have been in notable goth bands in the 1990s, so introducing Ryan Swift (vocalist/guitars), John Berry (guitar), Mike Sinclair (bass) and Tony Ghost (drums/percussion). From whence Robin Hood made his name, we can find the Nottingham gothic group, In Isolation and to celebrate fifteen years of making music, under this moniker, they have compiled an album with twenty-eight of their songs.
