Amazing Reverb Engine

Shoegaze that kicks y'r ass!

About Me

Born in a dark tower! Raised in an industrial yard! AMAZING REVERB ENGINE is a mish-mash of retro-psychedelia, modern-experimental and forward-thinking boldness that runs on wood, steel and circuitry assembled by industrious gnomes from both home and abroad.
Named for the sound generated by the dual guitar team’s driving noise parade, A.R.E. integrates its cacophonous roar with songwriting that floats between charming melody and strained dissonance to create a contemporary soundscape that tips its hat to the classic shoegaze genre.
