Loop

Loop is an English rock band formed by Robert Hampson in Croydon in 1986. Built on repetition, drone and heavy guitar noise, its sound draws on the Stooges, Can, krautrock and no wave, and is usually filed under space rock. The albums Fade Out and A Gilded Eternity (1990) both reached the top of the UK independent chart. Loop debuted with Heaven's End in 1987 and then signed to Chapter 22; A Gilded Eternity came out on Situation Two, part of Beggars Banquet. The classic line-up had Hampson, Scott Dowson on guitar, Neil Mackay on bass and John Wills on drums.
