My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything (1988)

"Soft as Snow (But Warm Inside)" by My Bloody Valentine


When forming Catherine Wheel, Rob Dickinson and company had trouble holding down a bass player until they put down an advertisement for one.  "Band looking for bassist--influences Stone Roses, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, etc."

My Bloody Valentine is a shoegaze/alternative rock band from Dublin, Ireland formed in 1983 and headed by founders Kevin Shields (guitar, vocals) and Colm Ó Cíosóig (drums).  After meandering around in Dublin, the Netherlands, and Germany, their most famous line-up came together with the two joined by Bilinda Butcher (vocals, guitar) and Debbie Googe (bass).  With a consistent line-up, there came the solidification of the band's sound and a record deal with Creation Records that would help along the band's debut full length album Isn't Anything in November of 1988.
