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
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.
My band “indigo” just released our first singel “Fingers” i hope you all like it. We are also releasing an Ep later this month.
Is so good…they are in incredible form.

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.
It would mean the world especially to my producer who made this instrumental if you listened to our song❤️
it’s called ‘once (in a while)’. it really is my first shoegaze song and I like it myself a lot, the power chords are really haunting imo

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
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!

Hi y'all! I was just wondering, what kind of guitar picks do y'all use? I know it doesn't matter but I'm just curious!
I use Dunlop .60mm's with an AP II Jazzmaster!! What about y'all?
On god it's good
Anyone else going to the swirlies concert with loveliecrushing in sf?
New single from Fort Worth’s Flowerbed. I really love this band and I’m not sure if this had been shared here.
I know it’s not shoegaze but I don’t really know what that means anyways. Hope you dig 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)

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
Goat band
please help me find this album, it might not be shoegaze i never listened to it, the cover is like a guy holding a weed and the background is like a sky and his hair is a bit blonde THE COVER IS RANDOM IM SORRY
Hello!!! Happy Halloween everyone! I’ve released a new single and I think it’s very appropriate for halloween!!
Hope you Enjoy!
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?
Does anyone wanna buy my ticket for their show at a lower price? badly wanna go but I unfortunately had unexpected plans then 😭

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.
