    burrrn is an awesome shoegaze band from Japan, catchy riffs and a very beautiful vocalist. <3

    -HsD5vV9Y_U



    Some other dream pop shoegaze bands you could check out:
    All About Eve, Lush, Bel Canto, Seefeel, Aenima, Kampec Dolores


    Buuurn sounds awesome. Nice post. I'm definitely going to go check those guys out and the other bands you mentioned that I'm not aware of.


    And back in the world of shoegaze/dream pop. Tamaryn's got a new album coming out in october. Previews sounds amazing.

    Tamaryn - I'm Gone


    And speaking of the pumpkins...
    James Iha - To Who Knows Where :wub:



    Zwan - Honestly


    More awesome stuff.

    Catherine Wheel - Crank


    The Church - Destination


    And I will always be a huge fan of Supecar. There early indie rock albums used a lot of that dreampop sound.

    Supercar - Lucky


    There later albums still had that ethereal sound except then they started using electronic stuff.

    Supercar - Storywriter

    This was my first time listening to this band so I wasn’t sure what to expect. When I did give it a spin I was surprised at what I heard. Rock tinged with lots of synths, autotune and some metal. The music has a light feeling to it, probably because its upbeat and poppy for the most part. The synths and electronic parts are well done, but the music production is lacking. This is particularly noticeable when you compare it to other bands who mash together rock and metal with trance, techno, synths and all other matter of electronic components. Those things just kinda feel cheap on this release.

    Another problem I had while listening to this was the overuse of the damn autotune on the vocals. I don’t mind some autotune, or when bands use cool effects like glitched, delayed, and layered vocals, but I feel too much autotune just detracts from the music.(Same problem Attack Attack had.)

    Things I did like was the metal part of the songs, the growls, and the cool breakdowns and the transitions from the upbeat synthrock side to the metal side. I believe there was also use of a arpeggiated pianos which I thought was cool.

    So for the first time listening to this band, they’ve left me with a lukewarm impression. I like some of what they’ve got going on, and there’s a definite potential, just get rid of the overuse of autotune and tighten up the sound production.

    Who knows what it will sound like in 2015 (I have my bets on metalcore drenched in electronic bleep-bloops)?

    I want to hear that now. Don't know if there any Vk bands that would be daring enough and have the production and musicianship skills to pull that off.

    And yeah, I also agree, Vk will never die. No type of music ever has.

    Joan Jett and The Black Hearts. It was my first outdoor concert and it was by the beach. Joan and the band were amazing and played a couple of new songs too. Loved how crazy and loud the crowd got when they played songs like Bad Reputation, Cherri Bomb and I Love Rock N Roll. Plus they had a sword swallowing act as their opening.

    The best part was the concert was free.

    You can ignore my suggestion if you want, since I'm going off topic. But I've been playing Violin for about 9 years now. I suggest looking into some classical music. There are really some awesome and beautiful pieces written for violin. One of my personal favorites is Pachelbel's Canon in D. It sounds amazing and it's actually easy to play.

    I really grew to appreciate classical music after taking up the violin. Before I just thought it was kinda boring. It might take some time and research on your part, but you should be able to find some really great violins pieces. Or I could always suggest more if your interested.

    I thought the new album was pretty sweet. Some shoegaze-esque stuff and neat guitar pop. Some people were dissapointed from the new stuff but I guess those are the people who didn't liked Adore or Machina/The Machines of God in the first place since both of these releases didn't have the flair of the first two albums.

    I loved Adore, especially all the acoustic work and the lyrical improvement on Corgans part. I also really liked The Machines Of God. I wouldn't have minded if Oceania was something like that, but's it not. It's along those lines, but not quite. I still liked it, but nowhere near how much I enjoyed previous pumpkin albums.

    Drumstcks. I don't even own drums but I find playing air drums is easier when composing beats for tracks rather than manuel inputting on some software.

    Biopanda: Angels Breathe

    Normally I don’t listen to visual kie bands except for a handful of them. In that aspect it was interesting taking a listen to all of the artists of the mixtape since I absolutely knew none of them. There’s a lot of old school sounding tracks, (at least they sound old-school to me) and the songs do seem to naturally lead into one another. My favorites were Winter Love sing by Suzzy&Caroline and Morning Glory by Angelique. I enjoyed other songs like the one by 桜-SaKuRa--, but was at odds with myself with other tracks since I enjoyed the music but couldn’t stand the vocals. So yeah, I’m far from being a VK fan, but I did find a couple of good songs I like.

    Fitear: Weird, Wild & with a Side of Wacky… Wtf Japan

    I love the crazy acid trip cover. The whole mixtape thing was pretty awesome. Definitely lots of weird, wild and wacky things were happening in all of the songs. Crazy drum beats, grooves and Japanese people yelling at me through my computer speakers. I loved all the songs and I’m gonna keep them all, but the first three tracks were my favorite along with the last one. This was a really fun listen.
