My Bloody Valentine

Loveless album creators

My Bloody Valentine is an Irish rock band formed in 1983, pioneers of the shoegaze genre characterized by dense layers of distorted guitars, buried vocals, and overwhelming walls of sound.

Their 1991 album *Loveless* is considered a landmark of alternative rock: My Bloody Valentine's influence echoes through decades of indie music.

The name comes from a 1981 slasher film.
