Final Gasp are an American deathrock band from Boston, Massachusetts, formed in 2019 by vocalist/guitarist Jake Murphy. Drawing inspiration from the darker side of punk rock, post-punk, and gothic rock, the band have quickly established themselves as one of the leading names in the contemporary deathrock revival, blending gloomy atmospheres, driving punk energy, and memorable songwriting.
Combining the urgency of hardcore punk with the shadowy aesthetics of classic deathrock, Final Gasp have developed a sound that feels both deeply rooted in the genre's origins and distinctly modern. Their recordings and live performances have earned them a devoted following among fans of deathrock, gothic punk, and dark alternative music.
Final Gasp’s sound combines deathrock, gothic punk, post-punk, and horror-inspired rock and roll. Their music is characterised by dark melodies, energetic rhythms, reverb-soaked guitars, and dramatic vocal performances that evoke both classic gothic rock and early punk intensity.
The band are especially recognised for helping revitalise deathrock for a new generation while remaining faithful to the spirit of pioneering acts from the 1980s underground.
Haunting Whisper (2021) – debut EP that introduced Final Gasp's blend of deathrock atmosphere, punk urgency, and gothic melody, quickly attracting attention within the underground dark music community.

New Day Symptoms (2026) – powerful second studio album that expanded the band's sound while preserving the eerie intensity and punk spirit that defined their early work.
Final Gasp have emerged as one of the most promising bands in contemporary deathrock, helping introduce a new generation of listeners to a style rooted in the intersection of punk, gothic rock, and post-punk. Their commitment to the genre's classic aesthetics while embracing modern production has earned them widespread praise within the underground scene.
