[[Catherine Wheel]] is not a solo artist, but in fact a band. Now that I have cleared that up, they were formed in 1990 in the UK. The band consisted of Rob Dickinson (cousin of [[Bruce Dickinson (Music)|Bruce Dickinson]] from [[Iron Maiden (Music)|Iron Maiden]]), Brian Futter, Dave Hawes (replaced by Ben Ellis in 1999), and Neil Sims. They started out as a shoegaze pioneer, but one of the more memorable ones. Their albums ''Ferment'' (1992) and ''Chrome'' (1993) are considered both classics.
 
Over the years of their existence, they tried to shrug the "shoegaze" label off of them and just went into writing their own music. This, arguably, was a bad idea for them. They slowly got less and less critically acclaimed, and their commercial success fluctuated.

[[Catherine Wheel]] contains examples of the following tropes:
 
* [[Creator Backlash]] -- They were so desperate to shrug off the "shoegaze" label that they completely changed their sound by their 4th album.
* [[Epic Rocking]] -- "Black Metallic" and "Fripp"
