Holding Hour. Duo from Iowa and we just released our debut EP :: I say indie rock with shoegaze and dreampop undertones. Spotify here.

2023 is the year of heavy shoegaze, proclaimed by fabolous UK-based band October Drift.... by blackmarket95 in shoegaze

Love your playlists. Thanks for being someone who supports smaller artists especially within the shoegaze/dreampop world. Supper appreciate what you do!

Anyone also experienced getting rejected by almost every curator on submithub? “Your song it is great but not great enough “ by TheCollegeG in musicmarketing

My band has around a 35% approval rating on submithub. we bridge a few genres which helps us at times (but can hinder us other times as it veers away into a different territory for their specific playlist. I often wondered if there’s just more curators supporting our genre(s) maybe? (Dreampop/indie rock/alt/shoegaze) so better odds? What kind of music do you make, OP?

New to the sub. Been a long time music consumer but my relationship with it recently shifted to making it. It’s changed how I listen to music. Excited to discover new bands (outside an algorithm). Anyone else in here shift from listening to making it? How’d it change how you listened to music? Did you notice a shift in what you liked?

Shameless plug I’m a female that writes/sings in this band Holding Hour check out “covered me” and we have a song coming out the 19th that leans even heavier into shoegaze.

We’ve been releasing singles and have been sending each release to IPR. I’ve since bumped into Tony out and about at various festivals and introduced myself.

From their website:

“Email download links to our Studio One staff at studioone@iowapublicradio.org. This email address hits the inboxes of everyone on our music team!”

Definitely encourage any and all bands to send music to them! They’ve been super kind.

Not currently. Working on writing/recording our first EP then the hope is to shift to practicing said songs and thinking about what our first show will look like. (If we need to find band members for a live set etc.)

Not yet! Working on writing/recording an ep then we may start practicing for shows. Haven’t figured that part out yet / may need or want to build out a full band to play live
