A place to Bury Strangers:



It's only this year while listening to a Andrew weatherall XOYO radio broadcast that i first heard this delightful band..A Place to Bury Strangers are a New York based three-piece who with their 2007 debut to the music scene..apparently named the city's loudest band..let me say i instantly heard some of my all-time favourites such as..Joy Division, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Sisters of Mercy..i must point out it's not all dry ice, doom & gloom..i may have said before it's hard not to be influenced by bands, and sounding like the first time masters..i've always had a soft spot for Three-piece, once they get off the ground..they make a very good impresssion. A Place to Bury Strangers have done that for me..give them a try..you'll be impressed. Enjoy:)


Screen Vinyl Image:


It's been quite a while since i last contributed to my musical diverse taste's, so while my failing memory has remembered to add my first review of the year, i shall start with this amazing band.
Screen Vinyl image combines electronica and psychedelia creating a wonderful intense sound awash with heavy samples era synths, echoing vocal & guitar music that will constantly grow on you after a few listens..if i have to pidgeon hole them into a mode,"The Jesus and Mary Chain ", "Suicide" comes to mind, not meaning that they copy to recreate a musical era, this band have a great musical ability of putting there music across to the music listener, as i've said in my previous reviews, it's best to have a open mind where music is concerned, it's the music that counts at the end of the day, not the image..even though the fat cats of the music industry will say that doesn't sell..well good music remains..Screen vinyl Image i assume will prove this. Enjoy.:)
