Play Dead were an English Goth rock group from Oxford that grew out of the fading English punk scene in 1980. Though the band was identified with groups like UK Decay and Sex Gang Children, the band felt they didn't belong under the "Gothic" title. The band made three studio albums for four different small labels—Fresh Records, Jungle Records, Situation 2, and Clay Records—before forming their own label, "Tanz", for their final album, Company Of Justice, which appeared in 1985.

  • Play Dead fut un groupe anglais de rock « gothique » originaire d'Oxford qui se développa sur la scène punk dès 1980. On peut le définir comme du « Dark punk » de préférence au style Gothique en pleine formation à cette époque. Parmi les groupes proches du style de Playdead, on trouve UK Decay, qui se reforme en 2008 pour des concerts exceptionnels, et aussi Sex gang Children. Le groupe refuse l'appellation de « gothique ».
