my bloody valentine

Evolving their sound over the course of three albums, The Horrors latest release, Skying, leans towards an '80s heavy synth pop slant but with a shoegaze injection.

Clear influence nods are made to My Bloody Valentine, the Cramps and more post-punk to create an epic overall sound on this self-produced album that is no longer rooted in dark brooding like their 2007 debut, Strange House.

Legendary UK label Creation Records has had a hell of a history.

From 1983 to 1999, it had one of the best rosters in the world, boasting acts like Super Furry Animals, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Oasis.

Back in 2000, David Cavanagh wrote "The Creation Records Story: My Magpie Eyes are Hungry for the Prize." The paperback edition is a whopping 785 pages.

It will take you about eight seconds into your first listen of Colour Trip, the debut full-length from local shoegaze-revivalists Ringo Deathstarr, to identify the band’s number one influence.

It’s Loveless.
