Review: A Place To Bury Strangers – Exploding Head
A Place To Bury Strangers has a really great, loud, rocky sound. With reverberating echoes, wispy vocals, and adrenaline-laced back beats.
I enjoyed their latest release Exploding Head. It struck me as something Bender from The Breakfast Club would listen to. The album has a really nice background guitar pulse. They have a great lead singer whose smooth voice melds with the rough sound very well.
Exploding Head has a big, loud sound that certainly does seem deliberate in its loudness. Smart and musical. However, I would be interested to see their progress after a few more albums. Although I did enjoy Exploding Head, I thought that a few things could be tightened or improved upon. They don’t have quite the same precision as some of my favorite bands. I just think they’ve got some room to grow that I hope they take advantage of.
I also couldn’t help noticing that when looking them up online (their website and MySpace profile) they offered little to no personal information. Not that I want to know where they live so I can stand outside their window holding homemade muffins that spell out the name of the band. But I’m always interested in how the band formed, who their members are beyond their names and what their musical interests and motivations are. I hope in the future they realize that fans want more than tour dates and news acclaiming their performances, although both are also important.
