No LUSH?

I remember an interview with Siouxsie where she talked about shoegaze. She said if the musicians have to look at their instruments to play them they should practice at home instead of on stage. Catty? Yes. Did I make an effort to avoid staring at my fretboard on stage? Yes.

The Mr. Beat namedrop is not what i expected as inspiration for this video haha

Yr so pretty I could die

Nice list! there are some bands I didn’t know and definitely will give them a try. My favorite black gaze album by far is Nova by Sylvaine.

My Vitriol? 😔

Blue Bell.Knoll and Iceblink Luck two of the best tunes ever, haunting and spooky in a good way

wow great video and list of shoegaze bands.

They are absolutely one of my most beloved bands, such a big place in my heart for them. I was fortunate enough to see them live at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco and lovely Mazzy Star opened up for them (early to mid 90s, I believe). Wonderful documentary about one of the best bands ever!

I`m a huge follower of CT.....since 1992...great documentary. Cheers from Kyїv/Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine.

Nice timeline but, if the father of Shoegaze is in here (Jesus and Mary Chain) the mother (Cocteau Twins) must be present to.

Mon groupe préférés pour toujours ❤

Where did the Cocteau twins get their name?

Interesting... the music got better when the weed came into the picture

MORNINGRISE

I bought Struts and Shocks the week I moved to Allston... It is a fantastic album.

1. Feed Me With Your Kiss 2. Sometimes 3. Honey Power 4. Thorn 5. We Have All The Time In The World (Louis Armstrong cover)

Cigarette in your bed is a super underrated song from mbv personally

Love's Easy Tears, for me. I was amazed to find out it was real words. The opening of Victorialand and Blue Bell Knoll are both particular favourites too. Thanks for the video.

I was like WTF where is Swervedriver but then I realized Raise came out in '91

Biggest honeydip fan here

Some people say it’s a tragedy that 27 babies drown to death during the making of the “Nevermind” album cover. I mean, some might say it’s a ‘tragedy,’ but I say that’s an ignorant point of view, because they died in the name of art, and I think that’s very beautiful!

slow is underrated banger shame angel isnt on this list tho

Yes!!! Tamagotchi by Blushing is my favourite song in the last year!

Thanks for these updates. Every year has good shoegaze.

do yourself a favor and listen to their unreleased + b sides stuff ALL BANGERS

i was lucky to see them at the eden project 2008 glad i did such a good band with songs that are more like anthems. such a shame they arent touring

Garlands is great. It blew me away and was my first intro to this band in 1983. The rest ia history, greatness

Te amo Toni ❤️

Weird but true - A Primary Industry is not on Spotify in the US.

1.sometimes 2.feed me your kiss 3.soft as snow (but cold inside) 4.nothing much to lose 5.when you sleep

Great video! Loved the EP's Ride, Play, Fall and then Nowhere. I was VERY disappointed with Going Blank Again. Funny you mention OX4, because it was only this year after seeing the video of them at Rough Trade that I really enjoyed the song. I picked them up again when Weather Diaries came out and still love that album. Interplay is on constant rotation right now.

There are also some songs from the 80's that kind of gave their style queues to shoegaze. Not because they were wall of sound, but because they had the whammy effect you often see, and the etherealness - voices carry by til tuesday and don't you forget about me by simple minds are some examples. i think the stone roses could also classify on their first album.

RAIN PARADE is a band that might have been mentioned here.

I loved this,well researched,much nostalgia,the next 1 will be my adolescence encapsulated tyty

Marry me

Happy to hear Airiel on here!

Thanx for including ultracherry violet.

my dad was the drummer in ultracherry violet! he had come from the DC hardcore scene and had played with some of the first ever emo bands (rites of spring, embrace...) back in the 80's! he also played in sweredriver briefly before ultracherry violet. the reason ultracherry violet only released one album was because the band was extremely disappointed by the lack of attention they were getting. everyone was pretty much ready to quit after a huge falling out they had at a show in DC. "at the end, we blew up in fine fashion. that final night at black cat, i was ready to call it quits (as a drummer). but after a 10-month cooling off, we were asked do a cd. with no rehearsals, we went to a warehouse in baltimore & recorded it all live in 1 day. my hands had become so unaccustomed to playing, that blisters formed, popped and were bleeding by the time we'd done 5 songs. tho we never played again, i'm quite fond of this. missing song n all. oh, and i never quite quit the drums."

My favorite band. Period.

Gregg araki got me into shoegaze

Some fans seem to be not so into Four Calendar Cafe, but i really love that album, too. The melodies on it are gorgeous. They never released a bad record in my opinion.

Candy Claws are so good ❤

Finally Ringo Deathstarr mentioned.

Little sneaky "Only Tomorrow" in at the start there :)

love this channel

I prefer Grunge more..❤

It’s quite easy to define. Shoes is British, grunge is septic tank. Introverts and doused in bleach
