A Place to Bury Strangers

Oliver Ackerman is an absolute genius, by the way. If they come to your town go see them, and don’t sit somewhere with a beer: stand up, put in your earplugs and watch him nurse what will probably be the most diverse group of tones out of his instruments you’ll hear in quite some time.
-
Lead singer Oliver Ackermann’s stand-in-place shoegazing was in stark contrast to the breathless stage-traveling Reznor would later exhibit.
-
Ackerman took a few minutes before the set on Sunday night, to answer 7 questions, for my continuing series Get to Know In 7.

Though A Place to Bury Strangers’ albums receive much praise, the best way to experience them is live. Guitarist and vocalist Oliver Ackerman is a tremendous performer; urging an unbelievable range of tones from his instrument, sometimes using nothing but feedback and broken strings against pickups.

-
Is pain-punk a genre? If not, APTBS may have just created it. Frontman/guitarist Oliver Ackermann concluded with an exclamation point: ripping the strings out of his guitar and slinging it around before exiting the stage.
-
I really digged the whole flashing lights thing toward the end of the set and Oliver taking the strings out of his guitar. (It looked like was what he was doing. I may be wrong.)
-
Anyways the lead guitarist was manic on his guitar and combined with the flashing lights made the whole performance awesome. The guitarist and drummer were nice enough to sign a shirt one of their only fan’s in the crowd threw to them.
