About: Title Fight is one of the most well known emo bands, and for good reason. The band formed at only age 13 in 2003, initially leaning into emocore and melodic hardcore, but eventually shifted further into shoegaze. Their sound ended up blending into what is commonly referred to as emogaze, one of the first bands to do this. They have been inactive since 2018, but still post on social media occasionally and in 2023 stated a possibility of returning in the future.

The World of Shoegaze... exploring the Mountain States! There’s a certain wild, unpolished energy here - perhaps inspired by the dramatic landscapes.

Presave SEEDS here

hey everyone. here's something i'm working on. it's a song based on the book "niels lyhne" which is a somewhat recent favorite of mine.

The World of..... Shoegaze took over in March!

Check out the best tracks in the fresh uptdated playlist. Featuring 5 songs from Italy (21 from across Europe!), 4 stunning debuts, plus incredible sounds from Canada, the US, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand.

Bonus: Over half the tracks feature female vocals! I couldn’t help myself - there’s just too much good music right now, so I’ve upgraded this to a "Top 40" instead of the usual 30.

Keep the fuzz on repeat. Dive into April with the best new Shoegaze discoveries!
