Bit tardy for this but I used have big love (for various reasons) for Curve.

They kinda threatened to get big with their bass-heavy, electronica tinged take on Shoegaze. They were certainly a big, loud thing live and they were fronted by the delectable Toni Halliday, who could most certainly cause thoughts of sauciness in the floppy of fringe back in the day.

Also, I have one album "Smear" by a Canadian band, Sloan, that straddles the line between heavy riff shoegaze and jangle pop with melodic aplomb. They had a nearly hit in the UK with the sublime "Underwhelmed" and an album track, "Take it in" has one of the best quite - loud riffs ever.

ps. Do you remember when Blur first appeared on the scene how they were kind of lumped in with the whole shoegaze thing? As were, gasp, Ocean Colour Scene?
