Then I had perhaps the biggest revelation of the festival; New York trio A Place to Bury Strangers. Noisy but melodic music in the vein of Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine, they blew me away completely at skull crunching volume. Great songs, great performance.

A Place to Bury Strangers

Noiseniks A Place to Bury Strangers are headlining. The only thing that ever seems to get mentioned about APTBS is how f-ing loud they are, but there’s really catchy songs under all that squall (and behind the smoke machines).
-
River to River Festival. A Place to Bury Strangers does aggro electrogoth that we immediately associate with those black-clad misfits in ’80s teen movies.

A Place to Bury Strangers are a power trio comprised of Oliver Ackermann (guitar/vocals), Jono MOFO (bass) and Jay Space (drums). The band play a heavy, atmospheric wall of sound-influenced blend of psychedelic rock, shoegaze and space rock.

It has that crunchy noise sound, big jangling guitars, heavy bass and has the “I’m-singing-in-a-hollow-drum” vocals. It reminds me of Loop meets Jesus and Mary Chain.

More than a dozen years ago, Reznor’s Nine Inch Nails took a then-unknown Marilyn Manson on tour. Now Reznor is bringing along Brooklyn noise maven A Place to Bury Strangers,…. Talk about having a finger on the pulse.

While New York’s A Place To Bury Strangers might not especially like the shoegaze tag they’ve acquired, as our recent DiScover interview makes clear, there’s no denying the MBV influence at work,

I truly believe A Place to Bury Strangers deserves the great amount of recognition that appearing on this EP will hopefully garner them. They’re already gaining ground everywhere, so this will merely accelerate a process that the same result otherwise.

A Place To Bury Strangers – they may be ear-bleedingly loud but beneath the distorted chaos they’ve also got the tunes. The next New Yorkers to keep your eye on.
