A Place to Bury Strangers

Feel the Noise

Nov 28, 2012

After watching Flashdance, there can be a lingering desire to live in a warehouse. Jennifer Beals’ character brings a cache to making a storage space that is meant for inanimate objects your home. This desire is rekindled every time that movie airs on television, and A Place to Bury Strangers’ Oliver Ackermann is not immune to it. More

A Place To Bury Strangers’ sonic assault landed in Brighton at the weekend. More

Feb 09, 2022

Longevity is a facet that can’t be bought, yet for A Place to Bury Strangers it’s something that comes naturally. This is primarily due to the fact that they’ve never stood still, preferring instead to constantly evolve to the point where no two records ever sound the same. More

Feb 16, 2015

A Place to Bury Strangers’ noisy fuzz is its trademark. On the trio’s fourth album, Transfixiation, this working noise-rock formula is not much changed.
