A Place to Bury Strangers are a New York–based noise rock band. The lineup is composed of Oliver Ackermann (guitar/vocals), Dion Lunadon (bass) and Jay Space (drums). In early Spring 2010 original member Jono MOFO decided to leave the band for personal reasons (after recently getting married) rather than tour with the band during their US tour. He was replaced by Dion. The band plays a heavy, atmospheric wall of sound-influenced blend of psychedelic rock, shoegaze and space rock. Throughout their formative years, the band's live shows got increasingly chaotic which garnered them the title of New York City's "loudest band" from various indie reviewers and bloggers. 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 are songs about longing, heartbreak and confusion played extremely well and at a passionately loud volume. They are currently in the studio working on their third album. This is "Keep Slipping Away" off of their 2009 release Exploding Head.
