If this was a show down the street, admit it, you'd wait in line for hours to see it live. I bloody well would. Chapter Four of this month's DreamGaze Worldwide presentation is wall-to-wall gold, with fresh performances from Tallies, Grivo, El Lago, Soft Wounds, plus rarely-seen footage from Plastic Girl In Closet, and Panda Riot.

It's not that we're overbooked with new music (we usually are), it's that we're overbooked with headliners. Air Formation has returned with their first new album in eight years, and that deserves the headline. How could it not? With the exceptional history they have, surely they've earned headliner status. The new LP from KLASS II sees full release today on Luxury Records, and it's got all the elements that make […]

Done and done. We'll throw in some classics from Yellow Fang for good measure. Can't touch this. Not to forget the recent […]
We've been following Toronto's Soft Wounds since their first demo EP release, and were lined up in anticipation of the first proper long-player. It's no cookie-cutter shoegaze or dream pop release, as it features some solid songwriting, using genre identifiers only to draw curious listeners into their sonic world. The reverb is warm and generous, the feels are real. [bandcamp width=100% height=42 album=1107649843 size=small bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 track=3805504733] "Baby Blue", the […]
