My Bloody Valentine is an alternative rock band formed in Dublin, Ireland in 1984. They were famous for playing shoegaze, a style of rock that uses heavy guitar distortion and other audio effects. They have released two full-length studio albums, the latter of which—1991's Loveless—received huge amounts of critical praise. They broke up in 1995, but announced their reunion in 2007.

Break Up and Make Up
Despite the huge critical praise for Loveless, album sales were lackluster. After a period of creative inactivity, the band broke up in 1995 and the members went their separate ways. But in 2007, they announced their reunion, as well as a series of shows in the UK. They also announced that a new album was almost finished.Quotes
"All of 'Loveless' is suffused with an apocalyptic, pre-orgasmic glow, the sound of an annihilating intimacy. My Bloody Valentine music is a smelting, melding, crucible of love in which every borderline (inside/outside, you/me, lover/beloved) is abolished." -Music critic Simon ReynoldsBand Members
