AVAILABILITY.
The Cult are an English rock band formed in 1983 in Bradford, West
Yorkshire. Their discography includes 10 studio albums, two live albums,
six compilation albums, seven video albums, five box sets, 20 EPs and 37
singles.
Before settling on their current name in January 1984, the band performed under
the name Death Cult, which was an evolution of the name of lead singer Ian
Astbury's previous band, Southern Death Cult. They gained a dedicated following
in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s as a post-punk/gothic rock band, with
singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary", before breaking into the mainstream in
the United States in the late 1980s, establishing themselves as a hard rock band
with singles such as "Love Removal Machine".

Since its initial formation in
1983, the band have had various line-ups; the longest-serving members are Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy, who are also the band's two songwriters.
Duffy and Astbury cited among their influences a lot of different bands "from
the Doors to Led Zeppelin. We literally went from the front of our record
collections to the back. And then along the way we were drawn in by the likes of
Public Image Ltd, Joy Division and Siouxsie and the Banshees. You might not hear
it in the music but it's there."

They also cited Bauhaus among many other post-punk influences. Duffy also
praised Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers for a major performance he
attended in 1977 and Siouxsie and the Banshees whom "always had great guitar
players with killer riffs." Duffy also hailed
AC/DC for "the power of a good
three chord riff",
Pete Townshend of the Who
"in terms of commitment to stage performing" and Brian May of Queen for using "'echoplex'
tape delays to orchestrate his own solo".
According to music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, the band fuse a "hardcore
punk revivalist" sound with the "pseudo-mysticism ... of the Doors and
Uriah Heep and the guitar-orchestrations of Led Zeppelin and
The Cure
... while adding touches of post-punk goth rock". In 1985 Astbury said, "Our
music is just melodies and guitars. We're like Big Country and
U2, only better!".
