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 so-called “loud” rock and 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 they make. A Place To Bury Strangers does not so much play songs as allow them to pour out. They are songs about longing, heartbreak and confusion played extremely well and at a passionately loud volume.
There is no doubt that 2009 will be A Place to Bury Strangers best year yet. The band has recently signed a world wide deal with Mute Records and are currently at work on their second album. They’ve also recently been confirmed to perform at Coachella in April, which will be preceded by another headlining UK/European tour.
