Loop
Jesus and Mary Chain
My Bloody Valentine
Spacemen 3

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 04.19.2006, 12:29 PM

Is it super fuzzed out trippy stuff with melodic vocals?

Rob Instigator · 04.19.2006, 01:01 PM

I listened to the specials and Ron Carter and Woody Shaw all night!

shentov · 04.22.2006, 09:37 AM

the headstall

they call themselves post-post punk, but they are shoegazers.

Damn!!! I love Slayer..........
They're my favorite Shoe-gaze band too!!!!!!

Okay.........When did this 'new' genre come about?
It seems to me that there are too many bloody labels being thrown around these days.

LittlePuppetBoy · 05.03.2006, 08:03 PM

I've become relly interested in MBV lately.
I've downloaded Loomer and Sometimes, and I think it's pretty damn good

Daycare Nation · 05.03.2006, 08:17 PM

I don't think anyone mentioned the records Swallow "Blow", or Henry's Dress "Henry's Dress." Other bands/artists that were/sound shoegazy that haven't been mentioned are Jessica Bailiff, Bowery Electric, and Chapterhouse.

soapbars · 05.03.2006, 08:30 PM

the ecstacy of saint theresa, not so much their later efforts but debut album sussurate is a fave,

its like an extreamly noisey heavier isnt anything, expect all the words are in french or something, not that you can hear them anyway,

doctor dan · 05.03.2006, 08:34 PM

confusion is dante-

i believe the term shoegaze is about 15 years old. certainly, most bands of the genre died out by the time grunge hit the uk...

holy-reverb!! · 05.03.2006, 08:36 PM

slowdive/ fukin love them

oh, ecstasy, y'know them?
they're from Czech Republic, really quite a mysterious project. I've seen them live on a summer festival three years ago at like 3 in the morning, it was quite a stunning experience.
Lately, they've been experimenting with ambient and soundscapes, however the 'sussurate' CD is the shit.

soapbars · 05.04.2006, 01:56 PM

darn tooting,

i knew they were from somewhere in europe i just forgot where exactly, so thank you,

mafushkwa · 05.04.2006, 04:43 PM

I really think that henry's dress is more of like a noise-pop band, you know? They aren't really too much of a shoegaze band.

Now rocketship on the other hand, I really think alot of their early stuff was shoegaze stuff.

I always associated a bit more noise with shoegaze for some reason. But yeah Rocketship does resemble MBV.

You're probably right about HD being noise pop, but then you would have to say that JAMC is noise pop too because that album sounds like JAMC quite a bit....and people are always saying JAMC is shoegaze (which they can't be really, because there was no such thing in 1985).

darthblav · 05.05.2006, 04:56 PM

for you jamc fans, a decent modern shoegaze band to check out would be skywave.

other great modern shoegaze bands -
brief candles
ariel
high violets
tom spacey (they are not around anymore)
dorian gray (ditto)
sigur ros (of course)

let try to keep the list going?
