TAGABOW eu & uk dates

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.

Excellent 90's shoegaze band from Costa Rica - Polyfusión

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.

Albums similar to Slowdive’s self-titled?

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?

Hot off the press: A new banger from Canadian band 9Million. It's fast, it's catchy, and you won't be able to resist dancing.

Just dropped: Great new single 'Yesterday' from Coma Dream (Las Vegas). Harmonious and heavy, a powerfully uplifting sound!

Ozzga - Feel You

(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)

Song my sister, a friend, and I made.

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.
