A Place To Bury Strangers

I Know I'll See You

Okay, so what majorly pisses me off about A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS, from Brooklyn, is that this is the kind of sound I was thinking about putting together in a band myself. It was like, "Fuck, someone else figured it out better than I could have!!!". They have this amazing mix of shoegaze hazy, goth dark vocals, and postpunk style that makes my dick hurt from being erect too long. Oh sighhh.

Interview with A Place to Bury Strangers from DeathRockStar.com (Click here to read whole interview)

How did you get the name?

Oliver: It is all a crazy story that I do not wish to tell anymore. Maybe someone else somewhere has it down on video?

Some people made a comparison about APTBS to The Jesus and Mary Chain, how about your own opinions?

Jono: They’re an influence obviously. We have noisy guitars and a similar vocal sound but I think that’s where the similarities end. I think this comparison comes from a somewhat idealized view. JAMC songs are more melodic. Our sound is much more aggressive, if JAMC had just released one record, maybe I could understand it a bit more.

Latest records you just buy? And what do you think about it?

Oliver: The most recent records are all old records, some from garage sales and other super cheap sources. I got a huge stack of 45’s the archies, music explosion, shangri-la’s ++ recently for 50 cents a piece the other day. All recent music I hear is from the internet or from friends bands...

THE HORRORS Website

The Horrors have left behind some of their funereal pretensions and 60's Garage Rock sound for something more ambitious. I think this sort of dark hazy JAMC direction has more potential for a really amazing sound some day... although I did love them from first sight/listen (outfits and sound). These boys are really amazing!

I have no shame in posting this picture of JOHN, out of purely lustful motivation.

Federico Garcia Lorca


Song of the Barren Orange Tree

Woodcutter,
Cut my shadow from me.
Free me from the torment
of seeing myself without fruit.

Why was I born among mirrors?
The day walks in circles around me,
and the night copies me
in all its stars.

I want to live without seeing myself.
And I will dream that ants
and thistleburrs are my
leaves and my birds

Woodcutter.
Cut my shadow from me.
Free me from the torment
of seeing myself without fruit.





Arthur Rimbaud

“Idle youth, enslaved to everything; by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.”








Jean Cocteau

"Poetry is indispensable - if I only knew what for."




Ian Curtis

Transmission (Joy Division)

Listen to the silence, let it ring on.
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun.
We would have a fine time living in the night,
Left to blind destruction,
Waiting for our sight...
