Panda Riot

I think I’ll always be a sucker for shoegaze.  I stumbled onto Chicago band Panda Riot’s MySpace page today, and I’m totally smitten – this is great, classic bliss pop in the style of classic My Bloody Valentine or Lush.  Check out “She Dares All Things” and “Streetlights And You And Me” – but actually, everything here sounds pretty great.

Their debut album, She Dares All Things, came out late last year.  They have a list of retailors selling it on the band’s webpage here.

Update: Poking around for other WordPress posts tagged panda riot, I came across this link.  Not only are they spot on about Panda Riot sounding like the Swirlies, but the project to create a new version of the classic SpinArt comp One Last Kiss is brilliant as well.
