A Place To Bury Strangers’ mainman Oliver Ackermann is also the head of Death By Audio, the Brooklyn-based effects pedal company that has handmade pedals for acts like Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, My Bloody Valentine and now, U2’s Edge.    

U2’s new single, “Get Your Boots On” was based around a riff written by Edge when he was toying around with Death By Audio’s Supersonic Fuzz Gun pedal.

Black-eyed Susans, front garden, Falmouth, VA, USA

  • rokbun - Scotland’s Live Music
    These guys really know how to put on a show. For the majority of the gig, the room is barely lit except for fairy lights and the bar, and so much smoke is pumped into the room to the point that the band is barely visable (and made it hell to get any decent photos) but for the final song, we’re faced with 10 minutes of strobe lights, just as our eyes have adjusted to the dark. Guitarist Oliver Ackerman picks up his guitar and swings it by the strings and leads, and the whole front row step back to avoid being skewered.

    “I personally love them,” says Oliver Ackermann of New York noise-rock outfit A Place to Bury Strangers, which recently issued a volley of seven-inches on Important Records. “When you create a seven-inch, it’s an opportunity to do something unique that doesn’t fit for an album. The tracks are also immediate; there is no filler. A single is a glimpse of a moment and an experience and an idea.”
