Our Band Witch Victim first Ep

Hey pals I thought I’d share my bands new ep on here. We have a mixture of motorik rhythms, psychedelia, and showgaze atmospheres, with nods to dream pop. Give it a listen and let Me know what you think! Thank you

Les Paul Jr good for shoegaze?

Saw a LPJ at a local music shop and I’ve always wanted one. I primarily play in a shoegaze band, so I was just wondering I could get some good tones out of it. I’m worried that only having 1 P90 pickup would make it sound pretty flat. Let me know.

Former black metal bands have made the best shoegaze in the last 10 years.

bands like deaf heaven and holy fawn etc. Boy oh boy do I like these albums, the older screaming vocal music not so much but what these bands are doing now is amazing. Maybe its just my love if heavy heavy shoe gaze, starflyer has always been my favorite.

Leaving Time “Angel In The Sand”

Leaving Time just dropped a gem of an album. Hearing what turned out to be Choke live was a surreal experience, and now hearing the finished product is even better. These guys don’t miss

Interviewed Matt from Longinus Recordings

Hey everyone, just interviewed the guy behind a label that I'm sure some of you on this subreddit are aware of, LONGINUS RECORDINGS. We talk about a plethora of amazing Shoegaze artists like Xinlisupreme, Parannoul, Walrus, Sonhos Tomam Conta and many more whom he's worked with. Hope you enjoy reading it!

My band just release a song and I would like some feedback on it

We were working on this song for like a year and a half, something like that at least, I made all the production aspects (audio engeeneering, mixing and master) and I would like some feedback on it

Its a heavy shoegaze inspired song, it was a turning point on the band to start writing shoegaze and stuff like that, I start using more pedals and screaming more, using more effects and ambience, but we wanted to release it on halloween so we waited more than a year to finally have it finished

Hope someone here like it!!!!

Any critics on the song, on the composition, the cover art or the production, would be welcomed :) (even if is someone saying it isnt shoegaze enough lol)

Youtube's Algorithm recently been blessing my feed with gold japanese shoegaze.

And I couldn't been happier with it. I've never heard of names like Honeydip and Condor44 before and. I'm. Melting. with such beauty and landscapes. Any other groups I've been sleeping on? Aside from them I know Burrrn (discovered them after this new LP released recently) and MOTFD

Help with vocals while playing live

Im in a pretty noisy shoegaze band with lyrics that are almost always completely drowned out at every show we play live. This isn’t the biggest deal as the vocals are ok with being near unintelligible but it does bother me when people come up and say “nice set but I didn’t hear anything you said”. We cant really yell the lyrics otherwise it’d sound like shit and we really don’t want to have to turn the amps down just to come through on vocals.

Does anyone struggle with the same issue and what is your work around it? We play at much smaller venues with not the greatest sound system so maybe that’s why?

Experimental Noise Shoegaze I made.

It's pretty generic but I really wanted to put something out. I have a hard time not being a perfectionist. Let me know what you think.
