🖤 Sweet shoegaze babies, the time has come once again! The summer haze is still hanging in the air, the fuzz pedals are humming and Micheal (Broken Sound Tapes) and I are opening submissions for Aspirin Age Volume Six, our annual shoegaze compilation for Cassette Week this October 🖤

Whether you’re a returning favorite or sending us something for the very first time, we want to hear the songs you’ve been hiding from the world. While previously released tracks are welcome, unreleased music will be given priority 🖤

Over the years, our Aspirin Age Compilation have become home to an incredible collection of artists from the shoegaze, dream pop, and post-rock worlds, featuring bands like Lilys, Whitelands, The Veldt, Magic Shoppe, Dead Leaf Echo, Tennis System, Hundredth, Cathedral Bells, Ci******es for Breakfast, Heaven, and so many more. Every year with each comp, we’re reminded just how special the community in the scene that celebrates itself truly is which is why we continue on 🖤
