The band first formed in Dublin in the early 1980s, but initially struggled to gain success. They changed management multiple times and attempted releases which always failed to catch the public’s attention. But this changed after they signed with Creation Records and released a few extended plays which turned out quite successful, and finally their first full-length studio album in 1988 titled “Isn’t Anything” which included the single “Feed Me with Your Kiss”.
In 1991, My Bloody Valentine released “Loveless” which is generally seen as their best piece of work. It was preceded by two Eps, released in 1990 and 1991, titled respectively “Glider” and “Tremolo”. “Loveless” included the single “Only Shallow”, which was released with a music video that shows the band performing the song. “Loveless” peaked at number seven on the UK official charts, with the song “To Here Knows When”, off the album, peaked at number 29.
The band took a long hiatus which eventually culminated in the release of the record “MBV” in 2013, over two decades later. “MBV” was welcomed with the public’s acclaim and high markings from critics, and peaked at number 29 on UK charts. A tour also followed the release of the album, which included a few dates in East Asia, Australia and North America. The UK leg of the tour consisted in three dates: they played Barrowland in Glasgow, O2 Apollo in London, Hammersmith Apollo in London.
Earlier in 2021, while promoting new re-releases, My Bloody Valentine have confirmed that they are working on new music. They have recently signed with Domino Recording Company, a new management that has made their music available on all streaming platforms.
Shortly after this, however, the band accused the platform Spotify of showing different lyrics for their songs from what was actually being sung in their albums, stating on a now-deleted twitter post that they felt it was “insulting”.
My Bloody Valentine will be back on the stage in November 2025, for a much-anticipated date in Dublin. For anyone signing up to the band’s newsletter, there will be a special presale; general tickets will be available and on sale from November 29, at 10:00 am.
