No, shoegazer is not a band. Rather, it's a sub-genre. Anyone here care for any shoegazer type bands? I'm a big fan of Slowdive, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Butterfly Explosion, The High Violets, and My Bloody Valentine (not to be confused with either the Good Charlotte song by the same name or Bullet for My Valentine). Ride is pretty cool too. Basically, it's a kinda spacey blending of pop and rock. Most of it is pretty mellow, and good for driving at night. Or maybe I'm just on crack.
