Secret Shine emerged from the late eighties/early nineties shoegaze scene. Releases on the cult label Sarah followed, most notably the indie-chart top 20 single ‘Loveblind’ and album ‘Untouched’. After a lay off in 1996, the band got back together again in 2004 before tragedy struck in 2005 with the untimely death of drummer Tim Morris. After recording a tribute record to Tim, the band have remained active releasing a number of EPs, the long player ‘All of the Stars’ (2008) , ‘The Beginning and the End’ (2012), There is Only Now
(2017) and a number of re-issues on the American label Saint Marie. The current line-up of Dean, Jamie, Scott and Kathryn have remained the constant formation for over 30 years. An album of new material has been recorded and is set for release in 2022.
Secret Shine are featured on the Cherry Red Records ‘C91’ 3CD Clamshell Box Set, ‘Still in a Dream (The Story of Shoegaze)’ 1988-1995 box set collection, Skep Wax compilation ‘Under the Bridge’.

Spotlight Kid (formed in 2006) are an English, Nottingham-based shoegaze band, whose original line-up was Six By Seven drummer Chris Davis on drums, Rob McCleary & Katty Heath (formerly of Bent) on vocals, Chris Moore, Karl Skivington on guitars and Matt Holt on bass.
The band now return to the live scene for your enjoyment after three years without gracing stages around the world.
The band takes its name from the 1972 album The Spotlight Kid by American musician, singer-songwriter and artist Captain Beefheart.
"Most effective are Katty and Rob's voices, which as per Bilinda and Kevin's, swirl together and do the amorphous-androgynous thing. Creeps takes a slower dive (see what we did there) into the balmy waters of aqueous sublimity first swum in by Cocteau Twins" - The Guardian

Manchester’s burgeoning post-industrial bubble was the starry embryonic sac for PURPLE HEART PARADE to spawn their shoegaze fantasies, with Louder Than War dubbing them “a band destined for the stars” and The NME professing admiration for their “squalid feedback”, whilst publications such as "Metro" and broadcasters like the BBC have all been purring at the Mancunian cosmic waves.
Following support slots and festival appearances alongside Temples, Toy, Sean Lennon, Luna, Swervedriver, Night Beats, The Telescopes, Pink Mountaintops, The Vacant Lots, as well as securing slots at Liverpool Psych Fest in 2014 & 2017, The Secret Garden Party, Kendal Calling & Reverence (Portugal) Festivals.
The band's meteoric rise is also gaining interest from highly esteemed peers, with noted admirers of the band including the likes of Nick McCabe, Mark Gardener, Simone Butler (Primal Scream) and Sean Lennon to name but a few.
“Single “Painting Pictures” is a swirling vortex of pounding drums and steely vocals that gives way to a melodic, trance-inducing rift.”-NME
'If you're a fan of psych / shoegaze then check them out. One of the best new bands out there..."- OX4 Sound - Mark Gardener's Production Co.
"Mission Hills is a languid piece of Dream Pop, with those liquid guitar lines oozing from speaker to speak and whispered vocals. It’s a beautiful piece of guitar music."- CLASH MAGAZINE"
