Frequently asked
What artists sound like Bauhaus?
The closest matches we measure are Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Depeche Mode. Artists are matched by how their catalogs actually move — average intensity, dynamic range, texture and shared mood — across 16 measured Bauhaus songs, not by genre label or chart adjacency.
Which song should I start with?
Siouxsie and the Banshees: “Melt!” (95% feel-match); The Cure: “Siamese Twins” (95% feel-match); Depeche Mode: “Never Let Me Down Again” (93% feel-match). Each is that artist's single closest track to the Bauhaus centre of gravity, so it's the least jarring way in.
How intense is Bauhaus overall?
Across 16 measured songs, Bauhaus averages 61/100 on our intensity scale. Individual songs vary — see the full catalog breakdown on their artist page.
How do you decide two artists are similar?
Every song is measured on 8 dimensions (intensity, dynamic range, tempo, sudden changes, texture, predictability, vocal force, fine sound detail). We compare an artist's catalogue centre of gravity to every other artist's, then weight shared mood tags. Matches cross genre and era, because the measurements don't know what genre is.
