Sugar For The Pill (GR)
Sugar For The Pill is a Shoegaze-Dreampop band influenced by early 90’s shoegaze bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, and their heavenly female vocals will remind you of indie bands like Cocteau Twins.

Dead Leaf Echo (US)
Dead Leaf Echo is a shoegaze infused band. Their newest album, The Mercy of Women, brings a combination of shoegaze and post-punk music, with haunting melodies, syncopated beats and swirling guitars. The band is tipping its collective hat to the seminal and groundbreaking artists that propelled the genre as a whole to new heights in the 1980’s and 90’s (think The Cure, Slowdive and New Order).

Resplandor (NL)
Resplandor is a shoegaze, post-punk and post-rock band from The Hague. Their albums Tristeza and Pleamar have been mastered by Simon Scott of Slowdive. The band has supported artists like The Cure, The Jesus & The Mary Chain and The Radio Dept.

Thrilled (NL)
Interesting chord progressions and big dynamic shifts caused by warm fuzzes and huge drums is what Thrilled is all about. Starting out at school where the members met, it quickly turned into something more. They are taking big inspiration from genres like shoegaze, grunge and punk and mix dreamy soundscapes with heavy guitars.

DJ Dragnet (NL)
Uncovering hidden gems & forgotten classics, DJ Dragnet shares profound music knowledge, seamlessly blending past & present in engaging performances.
