Just realized the rabbit ep isn’t available for me anymore, does anyone know when this happened?🧐Half life is also gone😞
The show I was supposed to see in Oakland was cancelled but they were kind enough to host a meet and greet for fans to chat and snag their super exclusive album of Demos that’s only being released on this small string of a shows.
I got to chat with the band about their influences, playing shows again and their fav songs on the album. The kindest people ever and really inspiring how making my own music. Then I got really stoned with my BF and listened to the album afterwards and here are my high thoughts:
-Reminded me of the first time I heard Loveless -the most shoegaze shit I’ve ever heard which is insane since it was made right at the start of it all
-these were the first songs they’ve ever written and it’s sooo complex structurally -I wondered how this would’ve shaped the genre today if this were released in 1991
Anyways, hope I can see them play one day
Cannot for the life of me remember this band or song name, but it's a new shoegaze band who released their debut single somewhat recently, and the cover has a cat on it. Any help?
They are so damn good it’s insane. The whole Audiotree performance is 10/10. I have to share with everyone.
Cloakroom is the best to ever do it. If you disagree, you’re wrong.

As a counterpoint to this post, can anyone think of any good covers of shoegaze/dream pop/noise pop songs in different genres?
I really like Shonen Knife’s cover of When You Sleep. It’s a lot of fun, but it also shows just how great MBV were at writing pop songs, underneath the fuzz.
I play guitar and I’ve been writing some Alt rock/shoegaze adjacent songs on my own, I’d love to turn it into a full band. Any drummers around central MA, Boston, Providence that might be interested? Think Failure, Hum, Shiner with a little bit of a shoegaze twist in there.
I’ve been trying to get my vocals to be processed and mixed like Nothing’s, however they never feel like they sit quite right.
Mine sound like the sit on top of everything instead of inside it, along with that every time I use reverb it creates a lot of boom, but I can’t cut the lows because that’s where the majority of my voice comes from, as I’m a baritone.
Can anyone help me?
so recently i’ve been really enjoying the Nothing cover of Ride’s “Vapour Wave” and the Highspire cover of Dagger. do yall know/like any other covers that shoegaze bands have done?
