I would like to listen to more Gothic Country stuff, but honestly, as much good stuff as there is in the genre, there is twice as many bad bands. I guess this is true for all genres, sadly. Most genres are a little more accessible when it comes to buying or downloading the music than the Gothic Country, which makes it twice as time consuming to get into new better bands. I hope I am making some sense here.

No you totally are, especially when it comes to the part about their being two times as many bad bands as good bands. I use to do a Gothic Country blog for awhile but after I came to that realization it became hard to update it because I didn't really feel like I was exposing people to the good music of the genre, just the music. I'll send you the URL for my Mediafire Country folder which has about 60-65 albums uploaded to it so you can dissect it at your own pace and see who you like and who you dislike. As far as The Interpestuals are concerned, yes they pretty much did just fall of the face of the Earth. My friend Chris discovered them when he was living in Calgary, Alberta Canada, where the band originated from and was recommended them from someone in the area. When Chris passed the band onto me I inquired as to the fate of the band, he speculated that because their only album
ReviveR failed to sell or really gain an audience the band just quietly dissolved.
