The origins of My Bloody Valentine date back to the late ’70s, but the band’s core members — Kevin Shields (vocals, guitar, sampler), Colm Ó Cíosóig (drums, sampler), Bilinda Butcher (vocals, guitar), and Debbie Googe (bass) — didn’t come together until 1987.
A formidable force for the budding shoegaze and dream/noise pop genres, the band released two albums — Isn’t Anything (1988) and Loveless (1991) — before splitting up in the mid-’90s.
After nearly 10 years apart, My Bloody Valentine reunited in 2007 and released their third album, mbv, in 2013. For the past decade, the band has laid fairly low, but there have been promises of more new music in the past so we can keep our fingers crossed for that at least!
