A Place To Bury Strangers - Ocean (Live on KEXP)

[sonicvlasis]

fuck yeah!!!

[indieclock]

love how he uses that tiny epiphone combo

[Imodhium]

beautiful jaguar & greattt band

[paezo]

BRUTAL

[ricardoaraujouk]

These guys are awesome. Probably the most under rated band in the whole world.

[DoolittleKid]

I first read about this band and was like "ugh...more shitty NY hipsters?"

But then I heard this song, and that all changed.

[TheRoseFloyd]

m0ar noyze

[Yacineskates]

Skywave, I miss you.

[indieclock]

@Yacineskates. i second that emotion.

[murphyjohn15]

i'm sorry, but that bass player really pisses me off

[shantiq]

joy division velvets nice to see where the lineage carries on.....

[shantiq]

@shantiq also sonic youth

[Luvinhas]

THUNDERBIRD AND JAGUAR BEST INSTRUMENTS EVAH

[6jorge6goblin6]

the drum set looks way to small for that drummer

[correodummy]

so intense

[correodummy]

New Order right after JD's became NO

[sprawl1984]

JMC can't put out good records anymore so I think I'll listen to these guy's now.

[invadersROCKSyou]

in minute 4:50 i jumped like fucking crazy, imsohiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

[WhisperNr]

KEXP ROOOOCKS !

[warmsparrow1]

joy division rocks.

[digita1ove]

great music, not too keen on the vocals though

[The20102010az]

my new favourite band!

[chinovier]

death by audio

[elpipa2g]

wow. flawless performance

[HenryJackification]

The Jesus And Mary Chain have never done something that epic sounding. These guys are another band entirely.

[geoPhaze]

@HenryJackification no, you are wrong, these guys are a fantastic band that is highly influenced by the JMC, nothing wrong about it, the JMC where highly influenced by the VU, again nothing wrong with it, just is the way that works.

[HenryJackification]

@geoPhaze

Yeah, they are getting the aesthetics from them, I just think that these guys are pushing it way harder than the jmc ever did. I love the jmc to death, but this is way more aggressive whereas the jmc were a bit more laconic most of the time.

[geoPhaze]

@HenryJackification well sure, that is evolution, but have you ever listened to cracked by the JMC? It is pretty extreme, and several of the textural arrangements on Psychocandy are really dense and grindy. Also, the world has gotten a lot more tolerant of aggressive music, think about it , when Psychocandy came out Metallica was scary bad devil music, now it is played between innings at baseball games. It has been almost 30 years.

[GwenBsMule]

Fuck.

[delnuggets]

You have to be a fucking twat to talk down on these guys. Wow.

[shit311]

the singers masturbating on his guitar

[BabyWetsAllNight]

I'd say they're influenced by the Jesus & Mary Chain more than anyone else. They are almost like an extension of them, which is is not a bad thing at all. I love it. Favorite new band

[microscepter]

i rarely comment cause i find it trivial and useless.. but.. Jesus H Christ!! That was fucking epic!! Love this band..

[theo1203]

Kinda weak vocals but fucking amazing drumming and an epic ending

[Arrivald]

Thouse guys were so epic on OFF Festival.

[Dorn132]

This group is awesome. If anyone doesnt think they are then they have closed minds...in my opinion lol. I love music, its truly the greatest art form. I am a huge Beatles fan, but I listen to anything psychedelic and shoegaze had always had a element of trippyness to it that I crave so much. My Bloody Valentine is so cool but they havent released an album in like 20 years. APTBS is harder edged and just as good. This band would give Justin Bieber nightmares! What more need I say?

[ChasHolling]

yeah...you stroke that whammy bar. yeah. you stroke it....mmmmm.

[kriptonerock]

Epic.

[jeffersontool]

BEST RADIO STATION EVER!

[barockintherye]

oh my god, this is just BRUTALLY GOOD.

[23lFrench]

How I love pretentious Noise rock ^^

[sofe55]

don't like the bass guitar effect sounds a bit naff/annoying!

[lilasam44]

I' ll see them in 3 weeks cause of what I read about them, bit I will dicover something ....new ..Waow !I like it and I'm already sure I will love it!!don't know why..;a feeling ...what do you think guys????will it be a nice discover???

[underplac]

oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh­!!!!!!!

[lildondon29]

This is so lame and easy. Loud, noise, one riff.....blah, blah, blah.....over and over and over.

[junkiesatwork]

@lildondon29 oh and i bet you and your band are sooooo great jimmy ;)

[lildondon29]

@junkiesatwork I certainly hope we are, and I hope your band is too. If not please stop. This band is awful in my opinion, seriously 7 min of pure noise wank that goes no where.....Man they're cool! I guess I should like it cus it's soooo underground. Give me The Jesus and Mary Chain or Sonic Youth, at least they do it good and right.

[junkiesatwork]

@lildondon29 i dont have a band man. Donget what made uthink of that jimmou. But im a listener , n as such, I would lov to hear what urs (if have one) is up to,,, I mean, one must have a steady background of smthg when stating stuff, n since u seem soooo confident ab this u saying here, it would be nice to hear from it for not keeping the idea it s all a bunch of resentful-who-knows- why crap from a 30 yr old know-it-all dick... So Jimmy, would you be kind enough to enlighten us kiddo?? Peace))

[lildondon29]

@junkiesatwork Jimmy? Well, it sounds like your the dick Mr. Junkie, did I insult you? As if insulting me proves anything! I play music, backing up other musicians/artists. I'm a listener too and have an opinion, which is my own. I think they're terrible and re-hashing other people's/bands ideas. No one has to like it, it's what I think. The video is posted for the world to see and open for anyone to comment on it, whatever they may think. If I had my own music to post I'd be open to the -/+

[SuperUnison92]

@lildondon29

You know, I agree with you a bit on this subject. As much as I love APTBS, I would prefer Sonic Youth over them. I was never a really big Jesus and The Mary Chain fan though.

[skatehard21]

i dont reckon the radio guy actually understands the music

[junkiesatwork]

APTBS in RockAlParque 2010!! Just freaking epic stuff!! Kinda sad how people d rather go Calamaro's instead of staying to this madness; I did and im sooo stupidly satisfied about it... Bassist should have threw bass corpse further so i could reach the fucker, guck! Anyways, APTBS, u guys did it man, make it back to Colombia, quite sure ppl know what s really worth now

[superrsonico]

@junkiesatwork Que suerte!!!

[junkiesatwork]

This is maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!! Fuck that guitar fella made me cum, and that freakin decayed guitar, im all sweating, shit

[Psyk0s1s]

HELL YEAH MORE LOUD. PLAY MORE LOUD AND WITH MORE ECHOSSSS )))))) in the dark

[DESTROYriaa]

nobody cares about these stupid band comparisons. a lot of music shares the same tones and instruments. open up your mind and just appreciate the bands. who cares about name dropping or whatever. seriously god damn.

[DESTROYriaa]

makes me wanna pick up my guitar, thanks :]

[rebelpuppets]

@DESTROYriaa makes me too:)

[dernorder]

Hi Joy Division.

[DESTROYriaa]

@dernorder band doesn't sound anything like joy division.

hello cliche remark?

[NeatStar]

Can you really not hear the similarities?

I like the band a lot. I saw them in London and met Oliver and he's a great chap. But really, they do sound a lot like Joy Division.

[Ryanrobot99]

@DESTROYriaa It sounds alot like jot division... But it's still rad.

[skatehard21]

how does he get his Ride so crisp?

[WerewolfMorgue]

I don't believe their drummer sucks, necessarily. I think the drums fit really awesomely with the music. But in this video, the vocals are kind of quiet, something to do with the mic, sucks. :/

[Keumii56]

Epic.

[edgund]

minchia!

[JohnAGlasspoole]

Caught these guys last week in montreal. They were awesome live...  Love their sound.

[rayolacer]

i think their drummer sucks

[ibelieveicansoar]

@rayolacer I've seen APTBS live twice; I'm a total drum snob and I remember my jaw being pretty much open while watching him bash away. He's one of the hardest-hitting drummers I've ever seen, and reminded me of Helmet's drummer when I saw them in '95. The drums are just not recorded very well in this clip, so they sound kind of flat and dry.

[IvyMike777]

You guys have a great thing going here - Nosaj Thing, Daedalus now APTBS. All great quality sound too!

[jazzmaster341]

First song I've ever seen or heard from these guys.

WOW

They've got something right here

[Spacirelei]

this is still one of the best live versions of the song i have ever heard next to the first time i heard it at Wall of Soundfest in Virginia.

[kalzino]

I wait you in Italy at May 2010!!!Greatttttttttt

[kalzino]

I wait this band in Italy at May 2010 !!!!Greatttttttt

[paulo00gracio]

Brutal Amazing. Musics with hands not whit digital produtions. Super power trio

[WyattVincentParsons]

saw these guys at the record bar in KC when I lived there...And even as "the loudest band in brooklyn"...All the saints was louder.

[freakfolky]

is it just me or does his voice sound somewhat like robert smith?

[IvyMike777]

definite cure influence - drums and bass too...

[justinhawke007]

should have turned him up .....im seeing this band  in march...cant wait

[justinhawke007]

the bassist is way too low! otherwise it is so great to see these guys in a live vid with studio rec... not a phone rec or something

[SuperJohnny]

This is a wonderful piece of music, this video doesn't do the song justice though, IT'S NOT LOUD ENOUGH!

[beatingcane]

superjohnny knows the deal, I saw them at musichall like two years ago with holy fuck and i still cant hear right.

[heyblinkin1]

@SuperJohnny turn up you're speakers

[rokkenroll]

No audio recorder could pick up APTBS loudness, they're a true live experience.

[geoprism930]

@SuperJohnny You know, you could just turn up your speakers, and that would solve the problem...

[Stonare]

sawthem at the pukkelpop fstival last summer they where fucking awesom ! thamks gy fpr such a great performance!!

[chompzoo77]

Definitely great!!! It sounds like My Bloody Valentine with a touch of New Wave music... I hope I'll see 'em live very soon!

[afrolibertino]

The end of the song is like the real end of Loveless or something like that... Is a lot of rage in their music... awesome.

[eastcstsrfr]

you guys are my secret source for music

[lemarquand9]

Oliver rules!!!! You gotta see 'em live!!!!

[thejoekster]

this band is super loud live! they left me completely deaf after the show. It was a good show tho.

[philphie]

whooooo shoegaze!!! spacemen 3!!!!!

[afrolibertino]

the noisy part of spacemen 3... yeah definitely but i always think that their sound is more like the Jesus and Mary style...

[MikeDel76]

Psychedelic-post-noise-punk rockers attack! Burn the amps, smash drums,set everything in fire, close the doors and just leave...

A realy enjoyed it!

A great band.

Hope to see them sometime,somewhere.

[saksilangit]

i want that jaguar

[horseklopp]

me too

[Ruxie666]

very awesome band, i saw them yesterday for the second time , their sound is really brewtal and the songs are beautiful. yesterday they end the show with this song. sonic times

[tambor49]

epic song...saw them in Atlanta a few months back...besides Oliver's sonic outbursts, the rhythms section is inspiring.

[braincras]

remind me lot of joy division sound, don't know why, I love this band, with 4 members it's getting real better as a live output

[heysatan8]

joy division without the synthesizers. thats sort of what i thought when I closed my eyes while hearing exploding head.

[birdcarl]

This is king! fucking out of control

[mttunes]

what does it say on the bass players T-shirt... Dead ????

[TonyMarinify]

Can someone please tell me what effect pedals I should use to create more or less the sound of Oliver's guitar when he goes totally mental. It starts about 4:50.

I already have a Fuzz factory and a wah pedal

[granola4thahighrolla]

you just add an analog delay to that man and it should be golden.

[Ruxie666]

I do not know perfectly what effect is that, but it's probably a pedal by Death by Audio wich is the Oliver's pedals trademark .

[the3dmanofdoom]

oliver's mom is my algebra teacher!

[luix78carlos]

the 2nd best is the guy of radio Shocked! hahahaha

[mmatt1105]

Thanks for the upload. I like this live cut more than the album version.

[JaxMaster000]

Dear A Place to Bury Strangers,

What you accomplished here is a force to behold. The sounds I heard were akin to a 40 ton half stack entering the Earth's atmosphere with the treble on high, fed through a fuzz pedal, dragged through the fallout of an atom bomb, and all fed directly to my cerebral cortex via a rusty wire. I loved it and I love you. Thanks.

[BIuejay]

The Horrors have already done most of this, and Joy Division had done alot of it too.

Doesn't make it any less valid and enjoyable.

[kiaikia]

sorry, but the horrors can't produce noise that beautifull, and if i recount APTBS made this kind of music before the horrors discovered MBV etc.

(not saying the horrors are bad)

[BIuejay]

Have APTBS got an album out yet, though? I only say that The Horrors are already doing this because they got the album out on the shelves first, like Joy Division before them.

Really though, a lot of elements are shared between shoegaze bands, and it's like saying that all metal bands 'sound the same'.

I was going to see these guys in England this November, but my plane arrives the day after, and then they leave for the rest of the Europe tour. Nevermind, they'll no doubt come to Australia.

[kiaikia]

APTBS got one(selftitled, collection of previous recordings)out in 2007 and the new one must be coming out around now

about sounding the same. The beauty is in the details, although i doubt any of the new ones (cause it seems to be the new big thing) will ever get better then JaMC, MBV, Ride,....

but i must say, APTBS, like seen and heart here, have some verry interresting sounds to

Horrors to, altough ist more hidden.

in a horrors soundcheck the guitar made a sound that made me cry hehe

[BIuejay]

Cheers, I'll have to track down that disc, then.

In terms of comparisons, putting the musical elements aside for a second, I've gotta say that performance-wise, from what I've seen of these guys, The Horrors have them beaten. They put on a fucking great, energetic gig, which actually turned out to be one of the best gigs I've been to. These guys, in classic shoegaze tradition, aren't much to watch. Maybe if the singer didn't have to play guitar as well, he'd have more of a presence?

[kiaikia]

Yeah the singer of The Horrors is pretty cool.

But it's also a matter of taste.

The show isnt really the main thing for me. If there noise is beautifull you can just close your eye and fix your brain on what's left of your ears and cry hehe

[BIuejay]

Nah, personally, I go to a show to see the band first and foremost, not to hear them. If I want to shut my eyes and listen to them, I'll put the album on at home and listen to it in perfect quality. A live performance is about giving the audience more than just music. It's about forming an emotional connection with the audience through interaction and expression, and truly sharing the songs with them, rather than sitting comfortably behind the fourth wall.

[wjow1]

they have two albums out

[turdlauncher666]

yeah, they have two albums out.

way better then the horrors, and they are just a 3 piece!

can't wait to see em monday in chi!!!!!

[superchunk321]

Try looking up skywave, Oliver's old band from the 90's. They were pretty big in the shoegaze scene as well. Skywave+APTBS are both brilliant.

[superchunk321]

Josh of the Horrors actually has bought some pedals from Oliver.

[brightmanonfire]

peter hook had a beard in early JD days and looked quite a bit like the singer/guitarist for this band but their sound has more to do with JD than their look anyway. love this anyway....

[kidA61]

why always arguing. you don't like it, check out something else. you like it, you have time, send a comment. It's indeed influanced by Joy Division, also from Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine. But this is something new, 2009 version of all these bands together. What happens after 4.50" is historical....

[Stonare]

fuck japanese fender guitars. the american ones are the real deal

[chickenluva1]

Japanese are great dude

[bilbomarks]

lol. sounds like you spent a bunch of money and are angry that it's the same.

[Ombrenuit]

That's passion

[marcspaceman]

ripping off Joy Division lol. who said that must be kidding. long hair and beard? my dad got that look and he doesn't like Joy Division (He should). The voice is different so far, ARE YOU SURE YOU'VE LISTENED TO ENOUGH JOY DIVISION?

[123PullOut321]

No, airmiami, when you strip it down, they're just a straight up rock 'n' roll band and it's all the stuff they throw over top that makes it awesome. That's the point you see, to take rock and fuck it up and destroy it. You only say they're ripping off Joy Division because he sings with a low voice.

[bilbomarks]

I've got nothing against it, but the basslines are strait Hook, man.

[airmiami]

Strip it down and they're totally ripping off Joy Division... singer even thinks he looks like Hooky

[JaxMaster000]

I think I just jizzed a little at that guitar solo.

[bwilliam68]

I want a Jaquar or a jazzmaster so bad.

[FickscheisseOfficial]

i got one... its japan built tho and cost me half my life...

[bwilliam68]

it was worth it probably lol.

[parfumisme]

maybe also look for a toronado,

[Ombrenuit]

Don't get the classic players then. They have a different bridge that completely changes the character of the '62 reissues or the Japanese reissues.

[superchunk321]

You are an idiot. The Classic Player bridge is there so the strings don't pop out of the ridge. The bridge on most of the old jazzmasters are complete and utter shit.

[JacobDobner]

That's not true. You just have to be able to set them up properly

[superchunk321]

Yes it is.

[joeperryforpope]

insane

[saksilangit]

top notch...

[comelyrow]

i'd love to see Ceremony and APTBS play together. i guess it'd almost be a reunion of sorts.

[dasweschen]

..which effect does he use, at 4:53?,

(the one he pushes with his feet)

[blackflag277]

probly some octave shifter or a fuzz wah i honestly dont know he has his own brand of pedals called death by audio pedals

[Mike1967b]

It is the "talent" pedal combined with the kick you in the balls pedal turned up to 11 of course! :)

[r1ckola]

THEY SO KILLED AT COACHELLA

[devankdevank]

2nd best set all weekend to MBV

[r1ckola]

I agree. Best set of the weekend. From the 4th row back....adjectives can't even describe how awesome they were.

[rottenenglish]

does anyone know what kinda guitar the singers playing?

[kisinn]

fender jaguar

[rottenenglish]

oh thnx thats what i thought but i didnt recognize the pickups so i thought it might be a jzmaster

[Noirie93]

There lipstick pickups

[rottenenglish]

cool, thanks

[amordegatos]

seeing them in austin this weekend- they do put on a great live show

[renagtz]

Awesome! they sound almost as good live! too bad I wont be there the day they play at coachella =/

[AnarchistInTheUK]

oooh playing in leeds on the 6th april xD

[coldalarm]

I believe so, I may possibly go. I missed them in december =\

[Angelwingz420]

!!!They are playing at Coachella Music and Art Festival this year!!!

[parek19]

amazing song wow

[Copshootcop74]

Amazing! love this band!

[bluevi7]

The music you were playing really blew my mind It was love at first sight.
