“The most ear-shatteringly loud garage/shoe-gaze band you’ll ever hear.” - Washington Post
“Plenty of bands have tapped the trebly, ecstatic side of shoe-gaze in recent years, but none have imbued it with this band's frustrated aggression or lacerating feedback. APTBS can pull beauty out of eardrum-puncturing bleakness.” – Pitchfork
“Ackermann’s psych-mangling songs covers a riveting emotional and sonic range.” – Uncut
“This is a staggering debut with layers of errant, mystical roars born from man’s relationship between his guitar, a chord, and a speaker.” – Stylus Magazine
With the ink just wet on a worldwide deal with Mute Records, Brooklyn’s wall-of-sound noise-rockers return to Dublin to preview material from their forthcoming second album.
A Place To Bury Strangers have often been called the “loudest band in New York.” This may very well be the case, but unlike much of the “loud” rock n’ roll that’s out there, APTBS is not “loud” simply for the sake of it. The sonically overdriven sound they've accomplished is no clumsy accident, but a carefully cultivated and well-maintained entity all its own, fostered by an unbridled passion that's clearly evident in every live show they play and each recording the make.
A Place To Bury Strangers does not so much play songs as allow them to pour out. Their songs are about longing, heartbreak and confusion played extremely well and at a passionately loud volume.
While there are obvious reference points - Pornography-era Cure, early Ride, Depeche Mode, Blast First era Sonic Youth, MBV, and pre 90s Jesus & Mary Chain - the sound is all their own; in part due to singer/guitarist Oliver Ackermann's day job of building and designing custom guitar pedals, coupled with the solid bass of Jono Mofo and the relentless drumming of Jay Space, the APTBS is a force to be reckoned with.
