We're dusting off an episode from August 25th, 2019 for a closer look at the shoegazing dream pop outfit Slowdive. As one of the early pioneers of the genre, Slowdive's melancholy, druggy & spaced-out ​vibes sound just as fresh and modern today as it did in the early 90s. No Filler is part of Pantheon Podcasts

We chat about Slowdive's triumphant return to shoegaze with their 2017 self-titled.

We chat about the album that came before the single that pu The Breeders on the map (don't worry, we play that one too) and chat about what ultimately led Kim Deal to leave the Pixies.

We snuck in an extra recording session a few weeks back before Quentin's baby arrived to bring you our regularly scheduled Whatcha Heard for August.

Friend of the pod Nathan Forster joins Travis to chat about HEALTH's unique blend of synth-pop and noise rock.

We dive into Spotlights, another incredible band under the doomgaze umbrella. And this time, they bring the proper heavy with their massive metal-leaning sound that contrasts perfectly with their dreamy, quiet vocals.

We explore the melancholic, darkly luminous beauty of French doomgazers Pencey Sloe.

For this month's Whatcha Heard, we dive into a variety of different folk tunes from pop to freak, naval gazers from shoe to doom, and alt-rock from psychedelic to grunge.

Russian shoegazers Pinkshinyultrablast coined the term "Thunder Pop" to describe their perfectly calibrated infusion of pop music with an explosive character.

Emerging from New York's noise rock scene, Band Of Susans broke away from the rock clichés that were all but set in stone by the late eighties, liberating the genre alongside their grungy shoegaze counterparts.

No Filler dives into Canadian rock band Sloan's first two records, Smeared and Twice Removed.

We listen to Boston-based Swirlies and their perfectly calibrated shoegaze sound that blends noise-pop, lo-fi, electronica and indie rock.

For our very first listener-suggested episode, we talk about the amazing Swervedriver and focus on their first 2 records: Raise and Mezcal Head. Similar to bands like Hum and Catherine Wheel, Swervedriver mixes elements of grunge, alt-rock, and shoegaze to create their sound.

We're back from our 2 week hiatus with May's Whatcha Heard, our monthly mixtape featuring 10 tracks that we can't get enough of. This month features everything from psychedelic folk to dystopian synthwave, the genre-defying Bjork to 90s post-hardcore, and plenty more to keep you interested.

We're back from vacation with a short and sweet episode on the post-hardcore noise rock stylings of Unwound, a band that created, as Fred Thomas of AllMusic once said, "some of the more influential and lasting work of their era, with their cloudy moods and explosively tense group dynamics culminating in some truly transcendent albums." On this episode, we're diving into our favorite album from the group, 1996's Repetition.

Another rewind episode? What are you guys on vacation or something? Yes. Yes we are. Now considered a touchstone record of the emo genre, we take a look at Jimmy Eat World's 1999 classic Clarity, and how the sound they were perfecting ushered us into the third wave of emo music. Before that we go all the way back to the spring of 1985 in Washington D.C. to explore the origins of emo, and discuss how difficult the genre is to define.

On this rewind episode pulled from the No Filler vaults we bask in the shimmering, deafening, lush haze of our favorite subgenre: shoegaze. We pick a few random branches on the shoegaze tree and admire all that makes grunge's less popular sibling so goddamn amazing.

We turn up the gain and aggression just a tad as we take one step closer to metal with tracks from Helmet's Meantime and Betty. Helmet carved out their own space in the 90s rock spectrum with a unique blend of metal-leaning riffs, melodic grooves, and alt-rock vocals.

For those just getting into the shoegaze genre, there are a handful of albums that are must-listens. Of course at the top sits My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless", Slowdive's "Souvlaki", and Ride's "Nowhere". But while there are must-listen albums, perhaps more important are the must-listen songs. And for many, Drop Nineteen's Delaware features one of shoegaze's greatest moments: the ethereal, slow-build simmer of "Kick The Tragedy", a near 9 minute drone with an unexpected sucker punch two-thirds of the way through that left a lasting impression on new and old fans of the genre and cemented the band as one of shoegaze's greatest acts.
