Tears For The Dying

Tears for the Dying is a goth band from Athens, GA, for fans of 45 Grave, Bauhaus, and New
Order. Their sound blends moody textures and driving rhythms with an introspective,emotional core – drawing from goth, darkwave, and deathrock while moving fluidly between
styles.

Formed and fronted by vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Adria Stembridge, Tears for the Dyingdraws from her lived experiences as a trans and autistic woman coming of age in the religious South. She is joined by longtime friend and collaborator Page Dukes (guitar, bass, vocals), whose punk-informed edge and dynamic presence shape the band’s evolving sound.

Since 2003, the band has released a steady string of singles, videos and EPs. In 2024, they
released their debut full-length album, In the Shadow of the Midnight Sun, showcasing a more refined and deliberate take on their signature sound.

Tears for the Dying has performed alongside Twin Tribes, Korine, and Vision Video, and has toured extensively around the Southeast and East Coast. They are currently writing their follow-up album to Midnight Sun.
