Ok, I just ordered a Wammo copy.

Totally loving Wammo.

Thanks people.

You should definitely snatch up The Aim, a perfect little four-song EP of theirs, possibly their best recording (am not an expert admittedly). The early single "New Man" is great, though a little different. And their album Concret from a few years back was a welcome addition to their catalog.

Also, if you haven't, be sure to check out The Gordons (more or less the same band, but when they were younger and more punky/angsty/etc). The EP with "Future Shock" into "Machine Song" into "Adults and Children" still sounds really good all of these years later.

Thanks. I was only familiar with one Bailter record (Thermo's) and though I like it, don't think it's spectacular. But Wammo' recording hits that sweet spot between aggresion and poppiness, almost in a shoegazey way. Songs aren't probably better than those on Thermo's but man, that SOUND.

Just want MORE of that, from the Bailters or any other band.

This thread is great! I have discovered several bands I now love so... thank you.

I found this band Blankenberge by just poking around on Bandcamp and I fucking love them. You can buy their whole discography for only $11.50 US and it's ALL good to excellent.

outro sounds like punching a hole into another dimension

Bailter Space is great, I was fortunate enough to see them last US tour, still amazing. Excellent show, good newer album.

Will add A Place to Bury Strangers, who also are still going very strong, put on an excellent live show last month. While solidly in the shoegaze category they lean in with a more punk edge. From their latest album.



An older one.



Weekend's album Sports is a good post-punky shoegaze affair. They even use baritone guitar!

They’re from my home town in New Zealand. I saw them a bunch of times in mid to late 90s. They played at shockingly high volume. Louder than MBV.

Plenty of anecdotes…
