Sharon Van Etten at SXSW (03/18/11) Words : Drake Lelane Photos : D. Caplan ( more ) Since February is the shortest month of the year, I'm thinking it's going to have to be the most condensed with interesting releases, and this first week goes some ways to proving the theory true. New releases from Sharon Van Etten , Dr. Dog , Air, Of Montreal, The Twilight Sad and Mark Lanegan certainly make their cases. There's also new releases from The Duke Spirit, Ben [...]

Sharon Van Etten releases her third full length (first offical) release -- Tramp . Since February is the shortest month of the year, I'm thinking it's going to have to be the most condensed with interesting releases, and this first week goes some ways to proving the theory true. New releases from Sharon Van Etten, Dr. Dog, Air, Of Montreal, The Twilight Sad and Mark Lanegan certainly make their cases. There's also new releases from The Duke Spirit, Ben Kweller, Die Antwoord, an EP from Davila 666, the return of Van Halen, and [...]
For those looking for something as strong as industrial-strength floor wax to serve as a dessert topping, this EP will handily do the trick. An extended play ultimately has a multitude of uses. It can be a simple single padded with bonus tracks or B-sides that a band or an artist wants to toss out as a sort of odds-and-sods release for die-hard fans. Or it can be an entity in its own right, a tight package of material that has a definite start and end, and is more of a mini-album - think Sugar's Beaster as a good...
With February already in full swing, the 2012 music release calendar is really starting to shape up thanks to a jackpot of new albums released this week, and over the past couple of weeks. There are so many new albums that have released this week that decided to split this installment of the Best New [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
A Place To Bury Strangers - So Far Away Onwards To The Wall is a quick lil' EP from the always-as-loud-as-humanly-poss ible A Place To Bury Strangers, and while it might seem like a shortened, cock-tease of a release, rest assured that this thing more than makes up for it with the APTBS brand of explosive, pummeling melodies and volume-up-all-the-way, distorted sonic texture. Yeah, it's loud. Stop being such a little mama's boy . Onwards To The Wall is available courtesy of [...]
On A Place To Bury Strangers' latest EP, the New York Band delivers roughly the same style of noise-laden post-punk they usually do-except, to me, there's just less of an impact this time around. WATCH THE REVIEW

ihn hatte ich Euch bereits versucht näherzubringen , blieb bis dato aber ohne rückmeldung, vielleicht gelingt es mit einem neuen song der kleinen truppe aus stockholm rund um ihren leader markus hulthén : die wiaiwya -7777777 reihe hatte ich Euch neulich bereits einmal vorgestellt, der singles club bringt 2012 an jedem siebten eine 7inch heraus, sieben monate lang, nach the wave pictures im januar nun eine etwas anderer gangart: the werewandas : leah rosen und david chandler schicken sich [...]
A Place To Bury Strangers has long relied on their live reputation to carry them through the hard-to-navigate musical waters of shoegaze. And, while I cannot speak to the intensity of their performance, their studio releases have never seemed to me anything very distinct from the vast numbers of bands with very similar sonic palettes. Both their self-titled debut and 2009's Exploding Head seemed the product of a few guys with instruments and copies of Loveless and Psychocandy . That's not to say it was wholly derivative, but it wouldn't be much [...]

brooklynvegan was the first to report that the rumored Metallica festival set for Atlantic City is indeed true. The band just announced the Orion Music and More Festival in Atlantic City on June 23rd-24th, which will feature unique sets from the band and a full runthrough of The Black Album. This is the first of [...]
Metallica has done many things in their day but have never curated and headlined their own two-day festival...until now. Taking place in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 23rd and 24th at Bader field, the festival will feature 'Tallica headlining both nights and they will be performing both The Black Album and Ride The Lightning in its entirety. The festival will include 22 bands hand selected by the band to perform. The line up is quite interesting as it mixes the worlds of metal and [...]
This is certainly a big week with some incredibly exciting new releases. Sharon Van Etten drops an introspective follow-up to 2010's Epic and A Place To Bury Strangers puts out a small shoegaze-y EP before heading out on tour. The rest of the releases, from Of Montreal , Dr. Dog , and Royal Baths , all share a similar psychedelic background, but still manage to stand alone as unique projects. Serpents - Sharon Van Etten // Buy [...]

One of the most fruitful weeks yet this year for new music releases. We're proud to feature Philadelphia's own Dr. Dog whose Be The Void is out today. We're quite excited about this album, not only because they're from Philly, but their last effort Shame Shame featured some great tracks such as "Jackie Wants A Black Eye" and "Where'd All The Time Go". Lots more to get to this week including The Twilight Sad with their creepy-titled No One Can [...]
This is the place for puppies and new music... glad to have ya! These are the actual puppies that Dr. Dog delivered before their last tour. I bet you didn't know that it was a profession AND a band name!

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 [...]
