I highly recommend that you bring your earplugs for this show. A Place To Bury Strangers just might be the loudest band on Earth right now. Okay, now that My Bloody Valentine has made a triumphant return, that probably isn’t true. But they sure come close! The band takes a few pages out of the MBV playbook, but even more from The Jesus and Mary Chain one. Lead guitarist/vocalist Oliver Ackermann uses the pedals and special effects boxes he builds for his company Death By Audio brilliantly throughout. Though this band is deafening, there’s so much melody and rhythm in these songs. They’ll be co-headlining at the Rhythm Room on April 14th with The Big Pink, whose recent album bored me quite a bit. I can’t imagine sticking around to see them ater APTBS plays.
