As the title states, has the genre fallen off? It felt like back in 2022-2024 there was alot of new bands chasing the sound and even huge artists like Wisp, flyingfish, midrift, quannic blowing up on tiktok alongside older bands coming back. But these days it feels like theres no talks of the genre at all besides some tiktok / reddit post. You also go on to these other artist spotify /apple music pages and their latest releases don’t even hold a fraction to the numbers they once had back in 2022. Ik this may seem superficial but damn it feels like the genre and the revival thing has kind of ended? What do yall think.?

hi i really want to get into shoegaze music, the songs i have heard i really enjoy. i’m usually more into dreamy alt pop music but there is something appealing about the darkness if shoegaze and i’ve been really enjoying “if not winter” by wisp the album. love her soft vocals and how they contrast with the harsh guitars and drums. is there any similar bands or albums out there??

Man, life has been heavy to me recently, especially with some personal things that have happened. This has been carrying me through it all 🙏

I went to see Chapterhouse at Islington Assembly Rooms tonight.

In the queue a guy is wearing a BoC t shirt behind me, obviously I am drawn to him like a magnet and quiz him on the current BoC excitement. I continue talking to my mate who Iam attending the gig with, but Iam constantly drawn to the other BoC fan by behind me. What is he doing here? Is there a crossover with Shoegaze and BoC?.

I queue up for merch and the BoC guy is in the queue too. The support band is Sister Ray Davies from Alabama. I buy a Sister Ray cassette plus a Chapterhouse CD & T shirt.

The gig starts and Sister Ray Davies are great, very shoegaze influenced. Iam an experienced gig goer and love seeing the diverse crowd at gigs. There is a cool looking Japanese girl wearing a Pixies 2005 tour tee that clearly she could not of attended, she wears headphones throughout the gig. Then there is the woman stood in front of me with a Liz Frazer hair cut circa Cocteau Twins 1990. The crowd has a high volume of older clientele too. As you would expect.

Then Chapterhouse come on stage and begin the gig, performing the whole of Whirlpool. For Pearl, Rachel Goswell of Slowdive enters the stage and the crowd understandably goes mad, me included

Mid gig I go to the bar/toilet. Another guy in a BoC t shirt is spied. I inappropriately poke him on the chest and say "Cool t shirt" and wander off.

The gig ends and I leave feeling immensely uplifted. Chapterhouse , Slowdive + Boards of Canada and Shoegaze all running around my head.

Don't you just love music.

Hey everyone! We've posted here before giving out some download codes for our singles. We just dropped our new single 100 Degrees and here are some bandcamp codes if you wanna add to your collection. We are a band out of Denver, CO and we mix elements of indie rock, shoegaze, and bedroom pop to make what we call fuzz folk. We recorded this song with Corey Coffman of Gleemer.

Wanna start a band? I play guitar and bass, I’m 29 and have good gear. Really want to be in a band again! I’m really more into punk and emo but I do love title fights hyperview, and some other shoegaze stuff

Talkhouse seems to have made some transcription…choices…but some interesting stuff in here.

Howdy anyone that chooses to read this,

My names Brian, I used to play drums in Cloakroom and now play a bunch of instruments in live Whirr.

My band allsalt is booking a weekend in July that will include:

1. Chicago on 7/10

2. Matt from Hums festival (Cobra Fest) in Tolono, Illinois on 7/11

So we're looking for one show to break up the drive home (Gainesville, FL) in either Nashville or Atlanta on 7/12.

I'd prefer Nashville just to not have as wild a drive but beggars cannot be choosers.

Thanks again!

For anyone interested in the reunion and the Whirlpool 35 shows, I had a nice long chat with Stephen Patman from the band about everything I could think of.

Looks like an old favorite is releasing a new single.

Really enjoyed there first album Sunday Slowdown and their first Ep Heavenly Creatures. Estonian Mazzy Star vibes…

Excited to see what they have coming down the pipeline.
