Astbury made his appearance in the Liverpool punk scene in the late 1970s. He became friends with many of the other younger punks based around the Eric's Club punk scene. He was in and out of various bands before moving to Bradford and forming the Positive Punk band Southern Death Cult in 1981. At that time, he was going by the name Ian Lindsay. Southern Death Cult gigged to support its "Moya" single, and secured a slot as an opening act for Bauhaus in 1983. Shortly after that tour, the band split up.

Along with guitarist Billy Duffy, bassist Jamie Stewart and drummer Ray Mondo, Astbury (now going by the surname "Astbury") formed a new band, Death Cult, released the Death Cult (EP) and later dropped Death from the name.

He has two sons named Dustyn and Che.
