Pia Fraus is an Estonian dream pop and shoegaze band formed in Tallinn in 1998.
The band's name, "Pia Fraus," translates from Latin as "pious fraud" or "small lie," reflecting their playful approach to music.
Pia Fraus is known for their ethereal blend of dream pop, shoegaze, and subtle electronica, characterized by shimmering layered vocals and reverb-laden guitars. They have released several albums, including Wonder What It's Like (2001), In Solarium (2002), Nature Heart Software (2006), After Summer (2008), Field Ceremony (2017), Empty Parks (2020), Now You Know It Still Feels the Same (2021), and Evening Colours (2023).
Pia Fraus has been actively touring both in Europe and North America. In March 2025, Pia Fraus performed an exclusive show in Tallinn, debuting their new single "Across the Street," which hints at a forthcoming album. This performance marked a return to the stage after a period of limited live appearances. Band continues to be a significant force in the Estonian music scene, known for their dreamy soundscapes and enduring influence on the dream pop genre.

Formed in Faenza in 2016, Mondaze introduced their sound with "Healing Dreams", a self-produced demo featuring three tracks, released in 2018. At the end of 2021 that the band gives vent to its fuzz-infused sounds, creating a refined and immersive record, with enveloping distortions and persistent in its pulsating rhythmic density. "Late Bloom" became an international co-production involving several labels, including Church Road Records (UK), Quiet Panic (US), and Through Love Records (DE), leading to a widespread international distribution.
Distant melodies create soundscapes to wander towards a floating world, lulled by a murky and intimate, if not almost interior, vocal line.
A record that blends grunge immediacy with melancholy downtempo, a biting hardcore attitude and repetitive doom swirls, resulting in a heavy shoegaze as powerful as a storm and gentle as rain.
In 2024 Mondaze signed with Bronson Recordings and returned with a new album, "Linger", addressing the theme of alienation in a world devoid of contemplation.
Their sound has grown more mature and layered, elevating the dualism between the delicate beauty of ethereal melodies and the intense power of the wall of sound to new heights, emphasizing the pure sonic expression of heavy shoegaze.
The album was recorded by Andrea Scardovi at Duna Studio, mixed by Chris Fullard (Idles, Boris), and mastered by Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher).
The band's latest album, "Linger", was released on November 22nd, 2024, receiving international critical acclaim.

power pop into a style as mesmerizing as it is catchy. A set of demos in 2020 led to a self-titled maxi-EP on Toulouseโs Hidden Bay Records in 2022, with a full-length LP released in october 2024 by Hidden Bay Records, Safe Suburban Home Records and Indie or Die Records.
Healees were special guests for legendary UK Shoegaze band Ride in Paris in April 2025.
Healees has been described as โ21st-century shoegazers amazingly as great as 1988-1995โs originalsโ (the Big Takeover), โthe best shoegaze band in Franceโ (Paris Popfest), and โone of the most interesting bands on the European scene in

Rachel Love (nee Bor) started out in the band Dolly Mixture. They formed in February 1978 while still at school in Cambridge, with Rachel on guitar, Hester Smith on drums and Debsey Wykes on bass. They shared a love of 60โso harmonies, glam rock and Punk. The band would later sing backing with Captain Sensible on his solo singles including Wot and the number one UK hit Happy Talk. Dolly Mixture were however a force to be reckoned with in their own right. They were a precursor to indiepop and can claim a direct influence on the Riot Grrrl movement. They were one of a handful of female bands to emerge from the British post punk scene of the late seventies.
Rachelโs solo career started much later, releasing her first album โPicture in Mindโ in 2021, produced by husband Steve Lovell (Blur, Julian Cope) The second album Lyra in was released in 2024, co produce by her son David which is a tribute to Steve. They now play live gigs with another of Rachelโs sons, Syd and Davids own band mates Chris and Nathan.

Pills For Tomorrow is an Indie Pop band with Shoegaze & Psychedelic accents from Grenoble (France). A musical universe as an alternative to painkillers. An invitation to a transcendental, mystical and soothing experience.
Formed in 2021 around Laurent Gouviaux (Guitar) and Nathalie Valion (the group was then called Moleskine), two EPs were self-produced the same year.
The first EP โConfidenceโ offers minimalist dream pop tinged with electro. The second โMemoriesโ presents more intimate lyrics and more present guitar riffs.
In 2022, change of name, the pieces evolve: the shoegaze style asserts itself, they take on a more soaring dimension and Nathalie on vocals unfolds her nonchalant flow.
In 2023 Augustin Garnier (Drummer), Laurent Prost (Bassist) and Fabrice Brechenmacher (Guitar) join the project. The group then produced several concerts and prepared the release of a new opus: 6 pieces were recorded in April including an adaptation of "Shadowplay" in homage to Joy Division.
Shoegaze and neo-psychedelic influences (BJM, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Mogwai, Spacemen 3, The Black Angels...) are obvious and fully embraced. The guitar riffs and vocals form swirls and carpets of sound served by the groove of the rhythm section. A wall of sound on which strange and ethereal voices delicately arise which tell of an era where tomorrows do not always pass without pills.

Hailing from Hackney, Cheerless are a four-piece shoegaze band formed in 2021, drawing on late โ80s and โ90s shoegaze influences.
The bands sound has been described as blissed-out, piercing and low rumbling basslines, underlying a lush echo-drenched, kaleidoscopic sea of sparkling and swirling guitar layers.
In November 2024 Cheerless released their debut self titled EP, 'Cheerless'. In February 2025 this was followed by the release of single Demoncore, taken from the EP.
The band are led by Charlie Wigglesworth, with Dan Fitzsimmons, James Parr, and Harry Carter.

'Chaotic, hypnotic guitar ambience' - ๐๐ฒ๐ง๐๐ก
Ambient duo Faceless kiss was born out of the turbulence of post pandemic life.
Two childhood friends coming together to make radiant instrumental landscapes with crushing, damaged, noise laden guitar pieces whilst also exploring mediative, solitary and shimmering ambience.
The duo find inspiration from artists who traverse multiple genres, from the dystopian post rock of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, to the lustrous ambience of Jefre Cantu Ledesma and the smashing shoegaze of My Bloody Valentine.
Their 2022 debut 'I Never Thought It Would Come To. this' was followed by extensive live performances across the south east of England and London, as they started to cut their teeth to go on sculpting their sound into a riotous and hypnotic show.

'Chaotic, hypnotic guitar ambience' - ๐๐ฒ๐ง๐๐ก
Ambient duo Faceless kiss was born out of the turbulence of post pandemic life.
Two childhood friends coming together to make radiant instrumental landscapes with crushing, damaged, noise laden guitar pieces whilst also exploring mediative, solitary and shimmering ambience.
The duo find inspiration from artists who traverse multiple genres, from the dystopian post rock of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, to the lustrous ambience of Jefre Cantu Ledesma and the smashing shoegaze of My Bloody Valentine.
Their 2022 debut 'I Never Thought It Would Come To. this' was followed by extensive live performances across the south east of England and London, as they started to cut their teeth to go on sculpting their sound into a riotous and hypnotic show.
