Tears Run Rings is an American shoegaze band consisting of singer/bassist Laura Watling, singer/guitarist Matthew Bice, guitarist Ed Mazzucco, guitarist Tim Morris, and drummer Dwayne Palasek.[1]
History
Ed Mazzucco, Laura Watling, Tim Morris, and Dwayne Palasek have been collaborating various incarnations since the mid-90s.[2] In 2007 they released their first EP as Tears Run Rings called "A Question and an Answer".[3] They later teamed up with Matthew Bice of Shelflife Records [4] to produce a full length album entitled "Always, Sometimes, Seldom, Never" which was released on Florida's Clairecords [5] in April 2008.[6] The album was well-reviewed (4/5 stars) and drew strong comparisons to shoegaze bands of 20 years earlier: "may be a dead ringer for Slowdive, right down to their torrents of cascading, distorted, and delayed guitars and ubiquitous male-female cooing, with slight seasonings of Moose, Chapterhouse, and Kitchens of Distinction".[7]
Their second album entitled "Distance" was released in 2010.[8]
