Crunch Tapes presents:• Magic Shoppe (US / shoegaze, psychedelic rock)
https://magicshoppe.bandcamp.com
Magic Shoppe are known for their love of distortion and reverb. Taking notes from My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Raveonettes, Sonic Youth and Loop, the band has a shoegaze sound that flirts with noise rock. Dark, fuzzed-out guitars can wash into soundscapes or crash into a sonic maelström. They balance retro and futuristic music with driving bass and dirty rhythms, mixed with dark vocal melodies. Magic Shoppe have offered up their own wall of soundblend of raw shoegaze across 5 LPs, 6 EPs and 1 Live LP over the past 13 years. The band recently hit 1.7 million streams for their top Spotify songs, as well as having 65,000 Spotify monthly listeners. In the last 5 years, Magic Shoppe have completed 4 tours of the EU/UK and 3 mini-tours of the US/Canada. In April 2024 Magic Shoppe will be releasing their 6th full-length vinyl LP on Little Cloud Records in the US & Canada, and on Cardinal Fuzz in Europe and the UK, followed by tours of the US and the EU/UK.
Support:
• Hello Pity (DE / post-punk, shoegaze)
https://hellopity.bandcamp.com
Hello Pity is a Berlin-based band that has quickly attracted attention by generating a frenetic reaction from the crowd during their concerts. They released the DIY tape 'Goodbye Genius' in 2019 which brings to mind the gritty era of '90s grunge. Their various inspirations span from folk rock to noise which transforms their soundscapes into an artful reflection of the modern musical world. Since their brief formation they have shared the stage with bands such as Lorelle Meets the Obsolete and The Gluts and have been part of the 2019 and 2021 Synästhesie Festival in Berlin. They have been working on an album during the Berlin lockdowns and it's finally came out via Duchess Box Records in October 2023.
• Menk (DE / psychedelic rock, krautrock)
https://menk.bandcamp.com
Menk set out with the aim of taking the listener on the deepest of journeys — music made with no compromise — to create a pure spiritual experience, like seeing sunshine through a rainy cloud. This is the main connector of the songs Menk have created as they take you on trips from darkness to light. Exploring textures, never standing still, new sounds and how instruments connect with each other, how harmonics complement each other, how songs change each other is the prism from which Menk views music and also the world.
