The Pains are more twee pop now than shoegaze. Their debut was more shoegazy, Belong has a much more cleaner sound. I still love the shoegaze element in it though. Check out The December Sound and the Vandelles, good shoegaze bands right there.
@fishnet4media I was really disappointed in the new album. It's really good and very catchy like the first, but I felt like the shift to twee was really half-baked. It's still a great album, but the first Pains album is one of my favorites of all time. BRING BACK THE FUZZ!
You'd have a hard time convincing me this isn't an outtake from MBV's "New Record" EP that was discarded because they already had another song with Saturday in the title...and I mean that in the nicest way possible!!
Twee pop? I didn't know that Smashing Pumpkins are twee pop.

@rickzters What you talking about man shoegaze has been sucking the cocks of hipsters since '90 it's still as prevalent as it ever was.

Lots of comparisons here. Mine to add to the mix is "Ride" - and it's not bad to be compared to them!
