Rock, Alt-Rock, Indie Rock, Psych Rock, Shoegaze, Punk, Noise Rock, Emocore, etc.

Surprisingly for me - I am really enjoying this new Bloc Party release. Not really a fan but I keep coming back to this as an enjoyable listen in the car with the windows wide open:

 
Numero Group just teased something “new” tomorrow from Codeine on their Instagram Stories. The quotation marks around new is from NG. Also they played an unreleased version of Sea in the story, that was recorded in 1992 (during the Barely Real sessions?). Either way I will most likely buy it, unless it is just stand alone versions of the box set expanded albums
 
I really love the latest Wave Pictures album. They say it's their best one yet, not sure about that, but is a fantastic album. It's a double and all doubles are invariably too long and this is no exception to that rule, but there are so many good songs that it just about pulls it off. Very odd choice of song to open the album with though.

 


Coldplay have just announced a special live broadcast of the Music Of The Spheres World Tour from Buenos Aires’ River Plate Stadium, which will be shown in thousands of cinemas across more than 70 countries on October 28 / 29* in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing, who also executive produce alongside CJ 4DPlex Tickets for the event - the first ever live worldwide cinema broadcast of a concert from Latin America - will be available on September 15 at 3pm BST / 4pm CET / 10am ET / 7am PT from https://coldplaycinema.live/ (where you can also sign up now to get updates and information).

Sounds like it's a pressing of Brad's later reprisal with unreleased content distributed as His Lowness. The liner notes can be found in the Discogs listing for context.

So I've been on the lookout for some HEAVY Shoegaze of late. I did a search a few weeks ago and came across this person's spotify playlist via r/shoegaze that they keep updated. There's some good stuff in there.



And, because of that playlist I discovered the band/artist Animal Ghosts. They are basically a MBV rip-off, but it sounds original in it's own way. Highly recommend giving it a listen.

I actually listened to that Greet Death album on Friday, it was decent. First half was a little better than the second. A couple of tracks didn't really fit the shoegaze mold I was looking for but it wasn't bad. I'll check out this other band!

In the same general direction, there's Cloakroom, one of Greet Death's singers sounds very similar to Cloakroom's.

This just popped into my feed and has some serious potential.

Watch Nashville heavy shoegazers Lockstep's video for new song "Weave"

Nashville's Lockstep make doomy, heavy shoegaze in the vein of bands like Cloakroom and Jesu, and they're gearing up to release their debut EP in May...

Seems you've already clocked some of the obvious contenders (Greet Death, Cloakroom, Nothing). The Flesh & Bone Records catalog is a great place to dig next, particularly No Sun, Pale Shade, doused, Lowfaith (now called Cherished).
