The humble but more than essential origins of megastar 80s alternative rock outfit, The Cult, Billy Duffy and Ian Astbury cut their teeth and perfected their face paint in The Southern Death Cult. When the 1970s punk first wave started to lose its luster, the more refined ideas started to take shape in what was briefly known as positive-punk. This was the keystone band on that brief but glorious trail that was abruptly colonized by the term postpunk.
