"Gothic Revival" is one of the term used to categorize Josh Sharkey III's solo project, Puerto Rico Flowers. Reminiscent of 80's goth and new wave, PRF started on the right foot, issuing their first EP, 4, on Fan Death Records, and indie label respected for their ability to sway away from the mainstream hardcore scene as well as house eclectinc bands like Birds of Maya and Ringo Deathstarr.
4 was released in January 2010, so it's not new to the lo-fi scene. But what makes the project unique is the effective song lineup and refreshing rehash of a classic sound nearly abandoned these days. Sharkey, of past Clockcleaner ilk, exudes modern-day goth rock with a prominent synth edge to give a well-rounded feel.
