Catherine Wheel was an alternative rock band from England that was formed in 1990 by singer-songwriter Rob Dickinson. Their music relied heavily upon sound effects like guitar feedback and droning guitar riffs to create rich layers of sound. Consequently, they are considered part of the shoegaze music scene and are often cited as inspirations amongst new shoegaze bands. While their commercial success was variable, they would often go on lengthy tours. They officially disbanded in 2000.
