Shoegaze

Not sure we went back before 2013, but here’s the annual threads from the last few years. Most bases covered in there I reckon:

2013 thread:

Rolling Shoegaze Thread 2013

2014 thread:

Rolling Shoegaze Thread 2014

2015 thread:

Rolling Shoegaze Thread 2015

2016/2017 thread:

Rolling Shoegaze Thread 2016

Rolling shoegaze thread (the old-DiS sequel)

We need to be ready for anything. If MBV see this pic, they are going to feel like they failed and need to reevaluate.

Current thread(s):

Rolling shoegaze / dreampop thread 2018

In response to another thread, I thought I’d kick off this year’s Rolling Shoegaze thread. I thought last year was a bit lacking (other than perhaps Slowdive’s excellent return), so I’m hoping for better this year. MBV have promised (ha) something, Ringo Deathstarr are swaddled in parenting so might not and Pinkshinyultrablast are prolific enough they’ll probably get something out. Post any shoegaze, dreampop and other stuff that is neither of these things, but hey, who cares about genre accurac…

Melodic, Aggressive Shoegaze?

Does anyone have any recommendations for great melodic, aggressive shoegaze albums? It seems like a lot of the bands I try out while digging around online have “the sound”, but the songs kind of just hang around and exist. The band Nothing might be what I’m most thinking of, particularly that ending sequence of “B&E”. [B & E] Also songs like “ACD” by Nothing, “Loon Calls” by Cheatahs, or “Son of Mustang Ford” / “Deep Seat” by Swervedriver.
