Alt rock/shoegaze from San Antonio, Texas
In my humble opinion one of the greatest shoegaze bands out there right night, s Slide Away set last year blew my mind. Cannot believe I'll get to see them again in June.
Really nice band from Costa Rica, who released one album in the late 90s. Definitely on the more post rock side of shoegaze but the first track is so good.
You can download their only album here.
Slowdive’s self-titled has to be my favorite shoegaze album and really the one that got me into the sound and space of shoegaze at all.
I love its atmospheric, ethereal, and cathartic energy. It’s something of beauty.
What other Shoegaze albums most emanate this sound?

any other bands with this energy??
I think they r NYC, one single out, can't wait to hear more tho.
Would recommend their first album as well called July Love Apocalypse

(A Great Shoegaze band from the Philippines, pretty underrated if you ask me, just found out about this band months ago after listening to Matoki and Megumi Acorda, I recommend listening to these guys, coming from the Philippines myself, I love them)
Got this sweet EP today off Discogs shipped from Germany, I'd recommend checking them out.
i do a shoegaze/new wave/slowcore show on kanm.org (student radio at texas a&m) on wednesday nights at 11:59 pm cst. yall should check it out if you’re into that sort of thing. 🙏🏻
Hello, this is my band Ghostlike (post-hardcore/shoegaze/emo) from Nebraska, big fan of this subreddit so I'd thought I'd share my band. Hope you like it
one of the few concert songs i can honestly say sounds just as beautiful in person 🤍
We’re not really a shoegaze band but this song is pretty gazey. I shared another song we did that was sort of similar a while back, so I thought you guys might like this one too.
I still have a few so if anyone would like one send me a message.
I know my top shoegaze albums, but have a hard time to choose which songs are my top. Which ones are yours?
