Shoegazing?

[JonG]

Supposedly "Shoegaze" got its name from how some of the bands performed - they stared at their feet while on stage. The sound is characterized by loud/soft dynamics, lots of feedback, and drone. I don't think the Jesus & Mary Chain are the quintessential band for Shoegaze. For me that goes to My Bloody Valentine. Other examples are Slowdive, Ride, and Chapterhouse.

A good song to listen to is Feed Me With Your Kiss by My Bloody Valentine.
