 The Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, a Leeds group led by Chris Reed, more or less contemporaneous with the various Sisters Of Mercy, Mission, Cult, and Fields Of The Nephilim, are important for having steered gothic, born under the sign of post-punk, towards more decidedly rock, garage shores ("He's Read"), sometimes even hard ("See The Fire"), effectively codifying some "trademarks" that will stick to the genre forever.
