"Slackified nu-gaze, Brooklyn style! Glimmer’s hazy retro-future anthems feels like they’re taped from your big bro’s sun-bleached 90s skate VHS, balancing grunge-tastic heaviness with the dreamiest of pop sensibilities. Proper exhilarating shoe-in FFO: Superheaven, Smashing Pumpkins, Dinosaur Jr, Narrow Head."

Blowout Presents
- Glimmer -
Formed in the spring of 2023, New York based grungy shoegazers Glimmer make their Bristol debut at Exchange Basement this July.
With the release of their debut LP, Get Weak, the band has proven that not only can they produce heavy-hitting, hook-filled singles, but that their softer, dreamier soundscapes leave just as much of an impression.
Having received acclaim from NPR, Stereogum and The Line of Best Fit to name a few, we're stoked to have this new staple of shoegaze coming through town, with a line up of the UK's best in crushing soundscapes on support in thinking with sand, Racehorse and Narcolepsy
