Since we last heard from them, A Place to Bury Strangers have retooled their line up. Founder Oliver Ackermann has recruited John Fedowitz and Sandra Fedowitz of Ceremony East Coast to join the band. If you're concerned about a reworked line up changing the band's sound, don't be. "I Might Have" sounds like what we want from A Place to Bury Strangers. It's a chaotic mess of a song, and I mean that in the best possible way. It's a mid-tempo rocker, which is rare for a song with this much going on. "I Might Have" just festers and brims with a disaster waiting to happen. It's noisy rock at its finest tinged with some industrial noise. If that sounds perfect to you, you're gonna love this one.
You can watch the video for "I Might Have" below. Hologram is due out July 16 on Dedstrange. You can pre-order/pre-save the EP here. For more on A Place to Bury Strangers, check out the band's . Current 2022 European only tour dates are below the video.

This new single might be the most classically shoegaze song they've released to date. It sounds like it could be a lost song from the Loveless sessions. It's filled with a heavy wall of fuzz and lumbers along at a midtempo pace. As always, Aislinn Ritchie's vocals have a slight pop sheen to them, even if they tend to take a backseat to the music surrounding her. This mixed with the absolutely punishing drums throughout "all tied up" make it a heavy shoegaze instant masterpiece. Aislinn Ritchie says of her band's latest single: “‘all tied up’ is about feeling completely consumed by someone. We definitely wanted the song to feel enveloping. There’s a subtle tension that builds throughout with a push and pull between the guitars and vocals. The song hits hard with its emotional depth, yet breathes w...

The musical project of Mackenzie Scott has released a new single that features her vocals and acoustic guitar that would feel at home in a neo-folk song over a pre-programmed drum beat with sounds that at times are either a light squall of guitar feedback and electronic noises. The song has this haunting and unsettling feeling to it, despite sounding like it's trying to be upbeat. I'd say art doesn't always have to be a pleasant experience, but "I got the fear" can be a pleasant listening experience, except for the times it's not. Mackenzie Scott says of her latest single: “A collective dread has been mounting. Everyone I know is having a brawl with the universe, with themselves…wars, climate catastrophe, a pandemic, the worldwide regression on human rights, the political hellscape — it affects everybody, and I know we’re all feeling it in waves of varying degree all the time. I think it’s...
Photo by Alexa Ondrush The latest single from Daisy the Great is a delightful burst of punk-ish energy. "Ballerina" combines punk rock with pop in a way we haven't quite heard. It's kind of like if The Donnas were both more raw and more pop. Plus, "Ballerina" is incredibly theatrical. It sounds like it's taken off of some unreleased punk rock Broadway musical. Not many bands can pull off raw punk at the same time as theatrical musical, but Daisy the Great prove it can be done, and done amazingly well. This is an infectious song that you'll instantly love, and immediately want to hear again just to make sure you heard it right the first time. Daisy the Great say of their latest single: “Ballerina represents a childhood dream of perfection: something that is unattainable, but real enough to give yourself something to compare yourself to. You look for the ballerina in the search for beauty, purpose, talent, body, and success — and prescribe it to the p...
