Formed in Dublin in 1983, My Bloody Valentine redefined alternative rock with their groundbreaking blend of noise, melody, and texture. Led by Kevin Shields, the band pioneered the shoegaze sound—lush, immersive waves of guitar and ethereal vocals that shaped generations of musicians. Their seminal album *Loveless* (1991) remains a landmark in modern music, renowned for its innovative production and emotional depth. After years of influence and anticipation, their 2013 release *m b v* reaffirmed their status as sonic visionaries pushing the boundaries of rock and experimental sound.
