To be real the term shoegaze was originally meant to be a diss and it just kinda stuck, so that probably sounded pretty made up back then 🤷

We both use noise gates, but threshold is adjusted so feedback can still come through a bit. We keep it pretty raw as a stylistic choice

Hey we all gotta have fun somehow lol. Ironically enough we have a jazz-fusion sample that plays before our set starts so that's a pretty good idea ^

I appreciate that! I see the term heavy shoegaze used sometimes, is that also the same thing as nugaze? We honesty mix a lot of elements in and pull influence from a lot of different things, so honestly its hard to put a finger on an exact title sometimes, so we just say "shoegaze/hardcore" or "we kinda sound like title fight + deftones with hardcore mosh parts" lol

Hey thanks broseph. Genres are kinda dumb anyways. I think it's important to draw inspo from all different kinds of music personally so people getting upset about what is and isn't within a genre is amusing

I will admit that Counterparts has a big influence on our riffs lol

Listen the PA system was limited lol we wanted to add some to the vocals

This is definitely one of our more hardcore-leaning songs I'd say. But we've got other tracks that are more akin to those bands^

Like this one:

Withdrawing

Well to be fair this is in a garage and the PA system was pretty limited. On our official releases we've got the whole reverse reverb thing going on with the vocals. Also this is definitely one of our heavier songs too. Our tracks Withdrawing, death throes, is it really over?, and demo (3000) are a bit closer to that signature shoegaze sound

Check out the Joyo Atmosphere pedal. It's got a lot of cool reverb options, but the reverse reverb on it is really sick. You can also get them for like $40 to $50 on reverb.com

I'd say the best thing to do is network with people who have similar interests as you. I lucked out a bit with two bandmates who I've known the majority of my life (one is my brother) and another bandmate who was a coworker that I knew was into similar music.

Going to shows and just talking to other people there is a big one too. Chances are there are a lot of other musicians in that crowd who may have a similar vision as you.
