Formed in Bradford, England, in late 1980, 1919 emerged as one of the pioneering bands of the UK’s post-punk and gothic rock movement. Known for their driving rhythms, angular guitars, and politically charged energy, they released influential early works including *Machine* (1983). After disbanding in the mid-1980s, 1919 re-formed in 2014 with renewed purpose, continuing to release critically acclaimed music and perform internationally. Their sound remains rooted in raw intensity and dark atmosphere, bridging the legacy of post-punk with a modern, uncompromising edge.
