An exclusive interview with Chilean shoegaze band Supertriste. We discuss their 2025 album Bloop, the isolation of Iquique, and how social tension shapes the unique sound of Latin American shoegaze.

March has been an incredible month for new music, especially from artists pushing the boundaries of their respective scenes. From the dark, psych-folk of British Columbia to the high-energy alt-pop of New York, these are five records by female artists that have been on our rotation.

In this exclusive interview, Made Dharma discusses the unique Indonesian 'nongkrong' culture, opening for Wisp, the legendary DIY cassette scene, and the six-year journey to their sophomore album, 'Behind Closed Doors'.

Five years after Murmur, Doused returns with SCKRPNCH—a sharper, more aggressive evolution of their signature sound. Tape Wounds sat down with Mike Wolfe to discuss the "Philly shoegaze" label, why the genre has become a "four-letter word," and the band's refreshingly ambition-less approach to creating art.

Nothing deliver their most stylistically varied and unflinchingly honest work yet—proving that true weight comes from vulnerability, not just volume.

Ahead of elbowsway's debut EP, I caught up with the band to talk about surviving internet blackouts, the logistical realities of sourcing gear in a nonexistent scene, and how a dislocated arm in a local mosh pit gave birth to a collective determined to play loud.

Experience the debut of Tape Wounds Magazine, featuring an exclusive cover interview with Nothing's Domenic Palermo and a deep dive into Whirr/Nothing in Tokyo. This issue includes a Q&A with Brian Futter of Catherine Wheel, a conversation with Trauma Ray, and a feature on Nabeel (نبيل) on making music in Arabic. From "The Big Guide to Russian Shoegaze" to new sounds from Central Asia, Chile, Indonesia, and Hong Kong.

For those entrenched in the New York underground, Brooklyn’s MX Lonely has never been a "new" band, but with All Monsters, they have made a significant leap forward—this is the kind of record that could finally see them break through to a much wider audience.

On their debut full-length WIMMER the Florida-based outfit bill. (styled in lowercase with a period) delivers a crushing, multi-layered statement they’ve aptly dubbed “futuristic space gaze.”

In this exclusive interview, Brian Futter discusses his new project with Tanya Donelly (Belly), Good Day Father, launching February 10, 2026. Futter reflects on touring with Radiohead in '92, the modern shoegaze revival, and a potential Catherine Wheel reunion in 2027.

Backengrillen don’t give a fuck if you like them. Or if you don’t. Or if you “get it.” It sounds harsh, but they really do not care. Because this self-titled debut isn’t about you. It’s not even about them. It’s about us.

With their second album, Sunlight Echoes, the band Whitelands from London have created a story that follows the ups and downs of life.

"Stuck Inside the Mirror" is a snapshot of James Garcia’s deepest struggle. From the grungy "Rearrange Me" to the haunting 9-minute catharsis of "Fallen Leaves," Cement Diver transcends sad shoegaze to deliver a record of raw survival.

It is impressive to see a band as young as guttered - composed of Ali Rizvi (guitars), Domingo Rodriguez (bass), Khoa Nguyen (vocals and guitar), and Luis Rodríguez (drums), all 18–19 — emerge with such a strong identity.

Tracing the journey from local basements to global shoegaze playlists, here are 10 essential bands defining the modern Russian shoegaze landscape.

From Asian shoegaze to albums recorded in caves—sharing only the music that truly moves me.

I got an early listen to the new elbowsway single and it is a heavy hitter.
