Following on from Beautiful Noise news, there are a couple of other documentaries worth checking out- Anyone Can Play Guitar about the '90s Oxford scene (so Ride, Swervedriver) and Upside Down - The Creation Records Story. Alan McGee does come across as a bit of a self-important twat but there's no denying having the lion's share of essential acts of the genre was down to more than just luck. One gets the feeling with the way the label seemed to be run it was a miracle it lasted as long and was able to release as much as it did! (Too bad Adorable didn't even get a single mention in the entire doco though)

Floodixor posted:Glad to see you mention them. Adorable's Against Perfection is one of the most perfect examples of britpop/shoegaze that I know of. I put it right up there with things like Longwave's The Strangest Things and so on. Just a fantastic album by a critically overlooked band. All of you should check 'em out. Indeed, and Against Perfection is surely the link between shoegaze and britpop- combining the sound of the former with the attitude of the latter. Their second (and last) album I would describe as more studied and mature, but still excellent and well worth tracking down.

Not too many bands that can get away with playing their debut album live in its entirety and not lose the crowd... Swervedriver did, and they were (again) excellent. Ive seen them several times since the early '90s and they are as good if not better now, played for 2 hours too...

New album from The Black Ryder next month (first album was great, this is a live track from it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpEFxcm1kDw) Everyone should go see Swervedriver - live they are as good if not better than they were in the '90s. My favourite Curve track is No Escape from Heaven from the radio sessions.... so goood

FoppSomms posted:Strange to see no real mention of the new Swervedriver album, "I Wasn't Born To Lose You", out on March 3rd! Theres nothing wrong with it as such, but it just continues Adam Franklin's solo style of late, which is a long way from the intensity of Raise or Mezcal Head and for that matter any Shoegaze style. As ive said before, it is still totally worthwhile catching them live though

uber_stoat posted:Bloody Knives - Reflection Lies i like this, reminds me of The Voices In other news, saw Swervedriver again the other night and they were excellent... "new" drummer and ex- Supergrass bass player maybe responsible for tweaking some of the older material so it sounds even better than before? Not quite so sold on new Nothing album though... ACD is a great track but the rest lacks the bite and hooks that the brilliant first album had...

The last Nothing album which wasn't exactly mind blowing and was released all of what? 4 months ago, makes the Top albums of all time? Really? JAMC for me is weird because despite being a big fan I don't associate them with Shoegaze at all, though if listened to in isolation no doubt their first few albums would qualify. Maybe because they predate the whole genre?

Rageaholic posted:They're not a straight up shoegaze band and a lot of their stuff doesn't sound shoegazey at all but some of their songs definitely have shoegaze elements. Hell, Minerva was a big radio single for them 20 years ago and my first exposure to them and that song has shoegaze vibes. Not hearing it. Tenuous at best

Im pretty late to the party here but shoutouts to everyone ITT who was on to the last Hum album a couple of years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpnOWqutzl8 This band completely passed me by in the '90s and initially only Desert Rambler caught my ear from this release But boy was this a grower, i cant get some of the songs out of my head now hahaha Amazing album.
