Sex Gang Children emerged from London's Brixton in early 1982 as pioneering figures in the gothic rock and post-punk movement. The band became integral to the early Batcave scene, crafting dark, atmospheric soundscapes that blended post-punk urgency with gothic sensibilities. Though their original studio output remained limited to a single album, their influential singles and tracks have been extensively compiled and reissued, cementing their legacy within alternative and electronic music circles.
The group has periodically reunited since the early 1990s to record new material and tour, continuing to engage audiences with their distinctive sonic approach. Sex Gang Children's contributions to the darker edges of electronic and post-punk music have ensured their enduring influence on subsequent generations of gothic and alternative electronic artists.
