..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...

Thanks for the phenomenal show in Montreal last night. Exceeded my expectations despite the fact 'the falling sun' didn't make it on the set list. New songs were great too. Overall, I've never experienced that kind of live sound; unique, all encompassing, full of vibrato. Fuzzy yet surprisingly clear. Soul-stirring and mind-boggling. Likely the best show the venue's ever hosted. Hope to see you back here again soon!
i can't get your music out of my head that's powerful shit missed your show in new orleans due to running our haunt (why couldnt you play on thurs/) just keep making the best music you. fucking. rock.
Awesome show at the echoplex on friday ...I came for sonic annihilation and I got me some...I was waiting for an encore though..next time you guys shoot through LA ..don't hit it and quit it... give us a little more of that goodness..peace.
