Holy shit, this is amazing. Is there a name for this sort of upbeat, shoegazey type stuff? My favorite songs were Never Return, You're blessed, Collapse, and White Rune. They kind of reminded me of Loveless but with kind of a hardcore punk influence.
Is there any more of this stuff? I've checked out the rest of Iceage's discography and it's very good but in a vastly different way.
NOT UPBEAT NOT SHOEGAZE NORMIES GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I guess my interpretation of shoegaze is wrong. My understanding was that noisy, echoey music with lots of effects on the guitar and vocals was shoegaze
Shoegaze isn't really noisy, it's just layered guitar playing with a bunch of addons to make them sound different
Also the vocals are very dreamy and emotional
Benjamin Flores
There is a lot of crossover between noise rock and shoegaze but Iceage are pretty far away from shoegaze
Asher Kelly
fuck off kid, if you don't know shit about noise rock (and its roots in hardcore punk) stop talking shit you don't know and you think you do just because you listened some mucore
Jack Clark
I got this album for free at a game of bingo. Is it worth the listen?

>Shoegaze isn't really noisy >A Place to Bury Strangers is considered shoegaze

Isaiah Martin

Luke Powell
they are considered noise rock,post punk and SHOEGAZE
iceage isn't nowhere near the shoegaze tag
Evan Smith
>is considered By who? It's fucking noise rock with weak shit vocals, there is nothing slightly shoegazy about it

RYM, Last.fm and Wikipedia to name a few.
Oliver Rivera
RYM fucktards add a billion fucking labels where they have no fucking business being
A band has one song which sounds vaguely shoegaze styled despite the majority of the songs being the same genre. Suddenly 'shoegaze' pops up on their page which is fucking wrong
And Last.fm and Wikipedia are fucking useless. Nobody who is autistic enough to edit Wikipedia knows a fucking thing about music
Joshua Cox
What fucking answer would you have accepted? lmfao

How little music have you listened to if the first thing this reminds you of is fucking Loveless?
Samuel Davis
>noisy guitar music is shoegaze If you look through Iceage's discography, they're clearly a (post)punk/noise rock group. Yeah, the guitars are distorted, but that's not the only criteria for shugazi.
Parker Reed
OP you might like Viet Cong
Ian Mitchell
AYY LMAO OP, KYS
Kayden Thomas
