I CAN HAS SHOEGAZE?
Caspian:
Ok in case you didn't figure it out, this is a shoegaze recommendation thread. For a while now I've been loving MBV and most other bands in this genre but I just seem to be in a rut recently regarding this genre, so hopefully you guys can help me out. Basically the one thing of criteria I have is that it must have really, really loud guitars, as I enjoy the noisier/more distorted style of shoegaze (jesu, MBV, even Nadja are good examples of the things I'm looking for). So as long as it's pretty distorted and fuzzy I'm down with it. Also, while I'm not exactly an expert in this genre, I'm pretty familiar with most of the big names, so going "DUDE GET LOVELESS" is not going to be very helpful. ANYWAY RECOMMEND KTHX

Well all the good shoegaze bands ARE big names because there are not very many of them... so...
M83
Slowdive
Ride (pre-Tarantula only)
Asobi Seksu
Gowns
The Charalambides
Swervedriver
the Death In Vegas album "Scorpio Rising" (their other stuff is far less shoegazy)
Catherine Wheel
Hum
DUDE HAVE YOU HEARD OF JESUS AND MARY CHAIN

I'm already a huge fan of M83, JAMC are good but not great IMO but while I've heard of most of the others I haven't actually heard them. Don't know how many of them fit my 'really really loud distorted guitars' thing, but nonetheless I will check some of them out, thanks.
Jackie Blue:
Hum definitely has loud distorted guitar. In fact, Jesu's recent material sounds a lot like Hum. I mean, a LOT. So if you like Jesu, look into Hum.
I would actually recommend bands like Bardo Pond if the loud distorted guitar part is what you like about shoegaze. They're generally considered "stoner/psychedelic rock", but the female vocals, pacing and ambience definitely speak of a big shoegaze influence. In particular, I'd look into their albums Lapsed and Ticket Crystals.
For reference, have a Youtube:

Indeed, Bardo Pond are great, I've only got 'On the Ellipse' but it's fantastic, I'll definitely get some more. Also, if Hum do sound a lot like Jesu then that is totally awesome. I'll download some later tonight, fo' shizzle.
