I CAN HAS SHOEGAZE?
Bishop138:
Well seeing as no one seems to have mentioned it, and they were the one's that started the genre as I'm lead to believe.
Lush.
Check 'em.

DUDE HAVE YOU HEARD OF JESUS AND MARY CHAIN

Gowns! I can't believe someone else here has heard of Gowns. Though I wouldn't really call them a shoegaze band, but tracks like White Like Heaven do the loud distorted thing.

Gowns is totally only okay.

I haven't heard much Gowns but the tracks I've heard I like. I really enjoy Ezra's other music (The Mae Shi, Monstro, some of the solo stuff he put on his site), and Amps For Christ which Erika was in for a while, so I'm pretty interested in Gowns. I was just surprised people here know them whilst nobody seems to listen to the Mae Shi, who are generally far better known.

A Place To Bury Strangers have caught a lot of press this year and with good reason. Rock music masquerading as pure noise.

I'd also mention Pharaoh Overlord, Circle, Growing, and The Psychic Ills. None of these are actually shoegaze bands but they might appeal to you for similar reasons.

I've been meaning to check out Growing and Circle for ages, perhaps I will now do it?

This also sounds awesome.
Felix_:
Chapterhouse were shoegaze gods.
Although not all of these artists aren't purely shoegaze, I'd also check out Rumskib, Mew, Korouva, and Hearts Of Black Science.
