This week on Transmission I spotlight a scene that emerged from the U.K. in the late '80s called shoegaze. It's a genre that definitely still exists today, inspiring young guitarists everywhere to rock those beautiful, distorted and droning riffs. But this Thursday, we focus on the originals of the scene like Slowdive, Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Lush and more. Hope you can join me — oh, and don't forget to wear your earplugs; it might get loud.
