The band’s key member is guitarist/singer/composer Kevin Shields, a reclusive perfectionist and radically inventive guitarist/engineer. The band’s other original member is drummer/studio maven Colm Ó Cíosóig; during their heyday MBV also included singer-guitarist Bilinda Butcher and bassist Debbie Googe. Their band shares its name with a low-budget Canadian slasher film.
MBV influences include The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, late-1970s Wire, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and independent artists such as The Pastels. Kevin Shields has also named The Beach Boys and The Ramones as a personal influence.
After leaving Creation Records in 1992 and signing with Island Records, the band fell into a creative black hole. Rumors spread among their fans of albums being recorded and then shelved. Debbie Googe left the band to form Snowpony; she had not played bass on their recordings since You Made Me Realise. Colm Ó Cíosóig eventually left and formed a band with Hope Sandoval, formerly of Mazzy Star, called Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions. Kevin Shields sporadically collaborated with other artists, most notably Experimental Audio Research, Curve, and Primal Scream. He revealed in a fall 2003 National Public Radio interview that Island Records quit financing his My Bloody Valentine endeavors after he spent half a million pounds of their money.
As of 2006, many rumors mentioned the possible reformation of MBV for a new studio album, but none of these were true. On November 15 2007, My Bloody Valentine announced three upcoming live gigs in the UK for 2008. On June 13 and 14, the band played in public for the first time in thirteen years, offering a pair of "Live Rehearsal" presentations at the ICA in London and officially starting their series of comeback performances. The band went on to play a slew of festivals in Summer and Fall of 2008. Following their appearance at the 2008 All Tomorrow's Parties festival, the New York Times reported that Shields was planning to complete the unfinished album.
On 2 February 2013 they self-released the self-titled album m b v as a download with both vinyl and CD copies shipping on 22nd Feb 2013. The Huffington Post reported that it caused such a public stir that the official MBV website crashed when fans attempted to access the site to purchase a copy.

my bloody valentine Lyrics

Give me (fuck cunt)
now you'll taste so good
"My Bloody Valentine's" song Suesfine is a cryptic and multi-layered track that seems to be exploring themes of abandonment, loneliness, and sexual desire. The opening line, "I will don't leave me here alone, oh Sueisfine" expresses the singer's fear of being left alone, cementing the importance of Sue in his life. 'Sueifine' could also refer to the singer's internal struggles, as in 'Sue' is fine, but he is not.
The second line, "Hold hold hold me, talk a lot don't brood again, Sueisfine," may suggest that the singer is seeking comfort and reassurance from Sue. The phrase "talk a lot don't brood again" implies that Sue may have been withdrawn or quiet in the past, which caused tension in their relationship. The singer wants communication rather than silence, and this could be viewed as a way of coping with loneliness.
The final lines of the song are somewhat jarring and explicit, "Give me (fuck cunt) now you'll taste so good, Sueisfine," suggesting that the singer's desire for Sue is tied to sexual fulfillment. The use of profanity and vulgarity may signify the character's confusion and discomfort with these feelings.
