The band opt to close the show with a cover of Jesus & Mary Chain’s “Teenage Lust”, with the aid of members of support band A Place To Bury Strangers, who, it should be noted, outshone their hosts earlier in the evening with the sheer ferocity of their noise and impassioned stage show.

A Place to Bury Strangers’ self-titled debut LP sets tinnitus-inducing noise-pop against atmospheric echo chambers and sweet, tear-jerking melodies. The mix of blown-out guitar, reverberating basslines and beautiful chord sequences creates a heady treat from New York’s supposedly “loudest” three-piece. From the majestic opening track Missing You to the haunting, romantic Don’t Think Lover, this is ear-shattering bleakness wrapped round slender, gentle indie-pop tunefulness. An astounding first album.
