About this user

"..sonic, noise-pop sound"
-NME

"Pittsburgh's finest postpunk-shoegaze-britpop-whatever group.......splitting its time evenly between the Sunset Strip in 1967 and Manchester in 1979."
-Losing Today Magazine

"....a Kevin Shields-like fetish for distortion....like the ending of "Slowfire," where a simple but beautiful four-chord progression hijacks the song at the halfway point, lifting it into space and setting it back down again..."
-The BigTakeOver magazine

"SHADE scrape away at their Pittsburgh hometown's rusty veneer, welding synth-heavy hooks with abrasive guitar shards straight out of the shoegazer handbook."
-SPIN Magazine

"SHADE is Pittsburgh's answer to psychedelic, swirling, fuzzed, shoegaze influenced guitar rock. Fans of BRMC, Jesus and Mary Chain, BJMC, The Chameleons, and Ride will groove to Shade. They sound as if you took all of the gritty edges out of BRMC to make a more melodic sound that soothes the ears...."
