Ogiba, Jeff (11 July 2012). "A Brief History of Musical Waves from NEW to NEXT". Vice.
"Dark Wave was another late-'70s off-shoot of New Wave. The genre contained the gloomiest of the groups, featuring with slower tempos, deeper vocals, and intense lyrical content. Some bands include the Danse Society, the Sisters of Mercy, and Bauhaus. The Dark Wavers still exist, and the popularity of the genre has seen a revival in recent years."
