Location: UK – Birmingham
Active: 1983 – 1987, 2000-present
Ausgang were part of the post-punk movement that arose as a response to the early UK punk phenomenon. Their lyrics were more abstract, their sound more frenetic and strange; both more considered and more chaotic than the rock. From Birmingham UK, Ausgang formed in 1983 after the band Kabuki released it’s only single. Emerging alongside the UK batcave scene (a nightclub predating the coining of the term ‘gothic’) alongside bands like Specimen and Alien Sex Fiend. In 1987 they disbanded. A retrospective compilation was released in 2001, and in the 2000 they reformed for several successful gigs. As of 2025 they are still active.
