Short Waves Presents: Toothpaste: Toothpaste is a London based shoegaze outfit FFO Slowdive, Deerhunter & Destroyer. Their sound culminates in layered pedals, metal shells, and Simon Gallup-esque basslines. "Toothpaste manages to stand out by balancing throughtful lyrics, melancholic tone and fantastic production...Loud, talented, and clearly having loads of fun." - NMM Cheerless: A shoegaze band from Hackney that started around 2021, leaning towards the heavier more energetic side of the genre. Taking influence from US alt rock of the late 80s and British bands of the 90s, the thick, layered sound aims to convey a sense of catharsis in the textures. Presented by Short Waves.
