V11 x Rotown presents: Punchlove

Punchlove is coming to V11 on Sunday, June 21! The New York-based band is known for their roaring shoegaze, where the melody never gets lost. They achieve this by incorporating elements of indie rock, art rock, and dream pop, creating a more layered sound. After a year of international touring and the release of their EP O, Punchlove is now preparing their second album. Let’s just hope that their wall of sound fits inside V11!

Name: Punchlove
Tags: indie rock, shoegaze, alternative rock, dream pop, noise rock, art rock, experimental pop
Song tip: Screwdriver
For fans of: DIIV, Slowdive, Alvvays
Country: New York, USA
Extra info: Many shoegaze bands build a dense, dreamy “wall of sound” using layered guitars with heavy reverb and distortion, where vocals and instruments blend together; Punchlove takes this further by adding digital and glitch-like effects, making their music feel like it sits somewhere between a traditional band and an electronic act.
