From Cambridgeshire, England, the Charlottes were one of the first shoegaze bands -- beaten to the punch only by <a href="spotify:artist:3G3Gdm0ZRAOxLrbyjfhii5">My Bloody Valentine</a> and quite possibly <a href="spotify:artist:3ysp8GwsheDcBxP9q65lBg">Lush</a> -- that released a single (Are You Happy Now?) and an EP (Lovehappy) before the dawn of the style's golden years of 1990 and 1991. The Charlottes were actually shoegaze of the harder-driving variety, closer to the more aggressive side of <a href="spotify:artist:3ysp8GwsheDcBxP9q65lBg">Lush</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6lMplGgLXsTOQpCnrcMObO">Bleach</a> than early <a href="spotify:artist:72X6FHxaShda0XeQw3vbeF">Slowdive</a>'s billowy textures. After a pair of singles released in 1990, the band bowed out with 1991's Things Come Apart compilation. The band's drummer, <a href="spotify:artist:04vKt87g10XVIxBfGxj5vW">Simon Scott</a>, joined <a href="spotify:artist:72X6FHxaShda0XeQw3vbeF">Slowdive</a> after they split. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
