Just heard about these folks from Whirr's FB page - the singer for Mondern Charms apparently sang on some Whirr stuff, too. Lovely dreampop/shoegaze/indie, full of jangle and glide. Would fit in right besides Lush, Velocity Girl, MBV, Chapterhouse, Whirr (go figure) and Ringo Deathstarr...

And I now know about Whirr because of this thread. Listened to Distressor tonight and liked it a lot. So I'll give this a listen when I get a chance.

Whirr was pretty adorably young when I played with them. Also, will check this shit out.

THAT is an excellent idea. I might even be so bold as to add some Chapterhouse in there. What? Too much?
Also, your mentioning Velocity Girl sent me on a mad interwebs RAGESEARCH to see if I could finally find a decent mp3 of Warm/Crawl (aka one of the first songs I played on my first college radio show)... AND I FOUND IT!!!!!
Plus I also found the unreleased early mix of it, which holds up pretty well even without the extra guitars:

VICTORY ALL AROUND!!!!!
