The quote on the MySpace page for A Place to Bury Strangers is “Total Sonic Annihilation,” which seems apt for a group that’s been dubbed “the loudest band in New York.”

“It’s only inevitable that we would sound like the bands we grew up listening to,” Ackermann said. “That was when we were listening to a lot My Bloody Valentine and Jesus and Mary Chain and all that. But when we were growing up and becoming musical, I was also falling in love with the electric guitar and all the possibilities for making sound with it, as well as loving music of the 1950s and ’60s, from bubblegum to girl groups. I think all that stuff is influential when it comes to creating our aesthetic.”

They are so loud, so intense, but do so with plenty of hooks in their music. The more I listen to their self-titled disc released last year, the more I am a fan of this band.

PLAN B: The Dandy Warhols, A Place to Bury Strangers, The Upsidedown @ Belly Up Tavern. If you get to the Belly Up at the perfect moment (est. time: 10:37 p.m.), you’ll be able to see one abrasive band (A Place to Bury Strangers) and won’t have to waste any time with boring pseudo-psychedelic bullshit.
