    & overseas BBC Introducing with Tom
Robinson on 6music

    At Dr. Shiloe's School for Girls, the "students" sleep in barns, work on a farm in the blazing heat, and are subjected to ruthless guards who watch their every move. It's an institution run by the dreadful Dr. Shiloe, a woman who delights in administering the worst form of punishment -- the mysterious Ice Room where the girls face their darkest fears. Now Ken, Melissa, and two dudes named Dan -- three girls from very different worlds -- are the newcomers in this desert hell. During their stay, each girl will be tempted to commit the ultimate crime of betrayal as Dr. Shiloe cleverly tries to turn them against each other -- until they learn that the only way to survive is to stick together...and fight back.


    "If you like your shoe-gazing pop to be a little darker then this is for you. Fuzzy sharp riffs bring My Bloody Valentine to mind, but have no doubt Shiloe are doing their own thing." - Nic Harcourt (KCRW)

    "The first song ended and the audience erupted in applause. The venue began to fill up as Shiloe played through their set, making for a very decent turn-out (the best I’ve seen for an opening band in my history of going to L.A. shows) My one and only complaint about Shiloe’s Troubador show was that there was no encore!" - CWG Magazine

    "...the vocals slide in like Sonic Youth throwing a punk rock through the windows of a goth club, and I'm hooked. There's a full-on joy of noise rock, but mixed with a healthy dose of dark Britpop, shoegazed swirls, and an undeniable punk rock snicker in the vocal delivery." - Big Takeover

    "...My Bloody Valentine influenced, modern shoegazing" - NME

    "...the dense sonic display that Shiloe put forth on their EP, And Now The Screaming Starts is something that grabs you right away but also has a growing effect as you listen to the songs over and over." - Post-Punk.com

    "...on the new song that Shiloe just unveiled, 'By the Daggers in Your Eyes,' it’s shaped to give way to a ’90s-era pop-gazer song. They nailed this one" - Kevin Bronson (Buzz Bands)

    "Shiloe's dark psychedelic rock draws frequent comparisons to the similarly brooding output of Creation Records in the early 90's, but this L.A band's sound stretches far beyond the restrictive realm of shoegaze, especially on tracks like the full-throttle punk guitar rush of 'Alarms.'" - The Organ Grinder

    "Songs like the spiraling postpunk livewire of “Alarms” and the slow-motion thunderclouds of “Gone” prove that, had Kevin Shields decided to stay home last year, the genre he wrenched from obscurity to greatness would be in good -- if white-knuckled and intense -- hands." -Prefix Magazine

    "...it’s nice to have a band take listeners up to a higher level of intelligence through their cerebral lyrics. Brooding, post-punk, shoe-gaze may all describe Shiloe, but Ken, Melissa, and Dan pull together a dark sound with gritty indie rock tunes that will have you succumb to delightful derangement for a few minutes." -Beatcrave

    "All fuzzgauzed atmosphere and razor riffs that tightrope from brooding shoegaze to rhythmically unhinged rock, Shiloe is a something of a rarity within their genre tag (always some variant of ‘post-punk revivalism’) in that they don’t stop at the revival—they actually push the music beyond the echoes of whatever bands inspired it." -Web In Front

    "Shiloe scraped the skin off my face with the rough side of the grunge-gazing rock." - Classical Geek Theatre

    "Slightly psychedelic sounding melodic and slightly frazzled America indie rock of a rather confident Black Rebel Motorcycle Club meets X nature...Fuzztone riffs, droning guitars, they’re rather refined and rather good." -Organ Magazine

    "...features the shared-track Alarms and even though it's early January, I think this song is likely to end up on many year-end best-of lists. Mine, at least! Highly recommended." -Local Vertical

    "an indie rock exploration of sound that leads listeners into a dark and droning post-punk world... and focuses lyrically on dark and intellectual themes."-Performer Magazine (Dec '08)

    "LA power-brood with throttling guitars, bass & drums & a vocalist who sounds about one uneasy hiss from slapping that grin off your face." -Spider House Cafe (Austin, TX)
