"They took a record that I'd made and erased all my songs, all my vocals. I thought, 'I won’t let you get away with this'": From goth glory to bad blood - the Gene Loves Jezebel story

Michael and Jay Aston pose backstage at the Metro, Chicago, Illinois, October 17, 1986.

Jay Aston can remember when Gene Loves Jezebel started to fall apart. It was around the time of their 1987 album The House Of Dolls, and his band had changed from spider-haired post-punks into goth-pop pin-ups. “I’d been planning to leave Gene Loves Jezebel for a while and form a band with our bassist. I was getting frustrated with how things were and how my brother was.”
