Ringo Deathstarr has been synonymous with the independent shoegaze movement for well over a decade. Heady and lingering, live they are all of that Wall of Sound verb, wide-eyed, washing psych and shakey shimmering we know and love.

Another decade under the belt and on tour with some of their best material to date, Ringo Deathstarr rumbles on like a rogue wave, pounding pavement & pedalboards in venues and festivals this spring ! Not to be missed!

“True to the nature of self-titled albums,

 

Ringo Deathstarr condenses everything special about the shoegaze purveyors into one complete package, but it also feels like a self-conscious look back at where they’ve come since. It may not bear the visceral punch of their earlier material, but it feels more esoteric, more open to other influences. The wall of noise we’ve come to expect has opened up to a chamber, as evidenced on early track “God Help the One’s You Love,” which is spacious enough to bring the term “cinematic” to mind. Those tributes to Kevin Shields are still here, like the whammied “Once Upon a Freak” and the knowingly-titled “Gazin,” but as always they’re done with dignity, with a demonstrable understanding of what exactly makes that style of song work. There are moments where the record arguably runs just a little too hard into identikit territory, like Souvlaki outtake “In Your Arms” or the Jesus and Mary and Ringo Chain track “Lazy Lane,” but over a decade later, obvious pastiche has become a part of the band’s charm.”

Natural Velvet is a post punk/indie band in Baltimore, MD. They have carved out their own world of seductive and confrontational dream pop meets loud AF shoegaze music.

“Scraping post-punk meets witchy psych-rock backed by some of the bounciest basslines around. Like the entire “Donnie Darko” soundtrack stuffed in a blender”
—Brandon Soderberg, Baltimore City Paper “50 Local Releases You Should Hear”
