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.

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.

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