Videotape has been creating poppy shoegaze around the Chicago area since 2010. Mixing harmony with noise, melancholia and intensity this 5-piece creates an ethereal yet familiar sound that has been compared to Electrelane, Sonic Youth, and Ride. Videotape’s debut full-length, This Is Disconnect, garnered reviews in Impose Magazine, IFC, Rollo & Grady, the Chicago RedEye, and a host of other music blogs and media outlets. Pop Matters described This Is Disconnect as having a “varied and often impressive set of tunes from a curiously talented new band.” Their most recent album, Underwater Weather, is due out 10/28/14 on the Chicago label Medium Gallery. It can only be found here: www.videotapeband.bandcamp.com "Dreamy guitar-rock tunes bathed in layers of churning feedback." -Andy Downing, Chicago RedEye.
