7 years passed and i cant get enough of this video. just cant

[@Lobsterdollar]

Yeah man i loved it

[@Yarpenn]

14 passed here

[@marijuanas]

KEXP please please reupload this with a higher audio bitrate. I would imagine it would be better than what youtube allowed 8 years ago. Still sounds amazing though.

[@wullowtries3018]

I’m working on it man!

[@melva311]

50 times! I have seen this band 50 times and I'm still not deaf yet! Had a few seizures but not deaf.

[@delivrance3961]

me too!!!

[@dancemusicforoldpeople]

Good for you

[@JaxMaster000]

Dear A Place to Bury Strangers, What you accomplished here is a force to behold. The sounds I heard were akin to a 40 ton half stack entering the Earth's atmosphere with the treble on high, fed through a fuzz pedal, dragged through the fallout of an atom bomb, and all fed directly to my cerebral cortex via a rusty wire. I loved it and I love you. Thanks.

[@wullowtries3018]

Well said!

[@frederiklippert]

I hope these guys are gonna be considered as pioneers in the future.

[@timofeie]

one of the best modern shoegaze bands

[@abrahamisaninja]

15 years old at this point and still tears. Jesusssssss

[@mcblahflooper94]

I swear, that guy is a fucking genius. His band is incredible, and he has his own line of boutique pedals that are probably the best low fi stuff out there. I need to see them live

[@MrBLawson85]

never will i forget that sonic experience.

[@Spacirelei]

this is still one of the best live versions of the song i have ever heard next to the first time i heard it at Wall of Soundfest in Virginia.

[@patrickconnolly8146]

There's something about this thing he does at 4:48 with that high pitched scream before they blast-off into outer space. I can hear it over and over again and it has the same effect on me every time. Saw APTBS twice in 2015 - both times in empty venues. They reveled in the space and turned it into something I'd never seen. Never heard so much noise from a 3-piece band. Mesmerizing.

[@delivrance3961]

agree!

[@moseygded4004]

And even after that it sounds like wailing in a way that the studio version doesn't.

[@SonicRave1]

That scream is called feedback.

[@patrickconnolly8146]

@@SonicRave1 yes, or divine intervention

[@bitchois]

I had never heard of them before, they were a "special guest" opening for Fuck Buttons at Chop Suey in Seattle, '08 maybe '09? My buddy and I got there early have a few beers, wonder who's opening? Prob 8-12 people there. APTB came on stage with a smoke machine and blew the walls out. The only thing comparable in sheer sonic assault was My Bloody Valentine. Huge fan ever since, love everything he does. I think my favorite band lineup is the last one for Pinned. Although this new album is nothing to scoff at.

[@SkipCoogan]

Music simply doesn't get any better than this, right here.

[@MikeDel76]

This video will be classic. The performance of "Ocean" by APTBS is one of these moments that will be remembered.

[@micheletardivo8592]

I get goosebumps every time i listen to this damn good shit...

[@gandalfgreenhands]

I swear- watching and listening to this band makes me think that Sonic Youth has been reborn, in 3 bodies. Eleventy thunbs up .

[@marijuanas]

Still loving this recording, also still hoping KEXP will reupload a higher quality version!

[@EugenioHertz]

The 1st time ever I listened to them was on the old dead WOXY playing "to fix the gash...", when they even didnt have an album yet, I knew there was something on that sound. The more I listen to them, the more I know I was right. GREAT BAND.

[@LeroyPeterson]

Can't replicated the energy of the original line-up. The debut album is due for a remaster. But also the original is a time capsule of a truly independent band.

[@viktorgalben6203]

feels good to know this is still here

[@Thewillowpsy]

so many times, and incredible always...

[@delivrance3961]

ahhh!! years listening to this... can't take my ears out of this!!! thx so much guys!!

[@kekolandiap]

Best track ever.

[@myronmorales3188]

still melts me everytime

[@stephanvenner2939]

They have their roots deep in Joy Division and early Sonic Youth.I love that memories of listening to this sound from cassettes on a big old Tapedeck.

[@jazzmaster341]

First song I've ever seen or heard from these guys. WOW They've got something right here

[@indieclock]

love how he uses that tiny epiphone combo

[@thesteelstrummer2307]

Just goes to show that its more about the player than the gear!

[@08bourquem]

that one guitar lick is branded into my brain

[@parek19]

amazing song wow

[@TheTerminalExpress]

I saw them live in Denver and they blew me away with loudness. Of course some guy had to come up and say, "if you think this is loud, you should have been at the My Bloody Valentine show. Now that was loud!"

[@funhousebaby3104]

I'm proud to say that when I seen MBV I was the dickhead in the crowd who kept on shouting LOUDER!!! Any show where they have to legally hand out ear protection is on point

[@afrolibertino]

The end of the song is like the real end of Loveless or something like that... Is a lot of rage in their music... awesome.

[@UNIVERSALRESOLUTION]

I'm digging this band a lot.

[@Noir_Guitar]

Epic drum performance - cardio for daze

[@MF_UNDERTOW]

BEST RADIO STATION EVER!

[@jonnybeck6723]

The magic of the transistor

[@Ruxie666]

very awesome band, i saw them yesterday for the second time , their sound is really brewtal and the songs are beautiful. yesterday they end the show with this song. sonic times

[@TomVfan]

They're playing Manchester in a few weeks, heard of them so i thought i'd do a little research.. i'm now going to order a ticket.

[@cristiansanz5736]

Priceless

[@whispererL]

KEXP ROOOOCKS !

[@shantiq]

joy division velvets nice to see where the lineage carries on.....

[@Imodhium]

beautiful jaguar & greattt band

[@bluevi7]

The music you were playing really blew my mind It was love at first sight.

[@GygasTM]

Brutal Amazing. Musics with hands not whit digital produtions. Super power trio

[@MikeDel76]

Psychedelic-post-noise-punk rockers attack! Burn the amps, smash drums,set everything in fire, close the doors and just leave... I really enjoyed it! A great band. Hope to see them sometime, somewhere.

[@Seangololofilm]

Yes please.

[@Luke.hello.]

Thouse guys were so epic on OFF Festival.

[@kalzino]

I wait this band in Italy at May 2010 !!!!Greatttttttt

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

MASSIVE INFLUENCE ON OUR BAND

[@The20102010az]

my new favourite band!

[@mouse_eater]

A Place To Bury Strangers, AKA the most punk people in a band that's not punk at all, boy do I love them

[@goldenmonkeycolor]

that's why that call it a wank bar! I now know the other secret to this amazing guitar sound. The jaguar vibrato system is the shiz! I gotta get one, that constantly wavering pitch wave of distortion is just blissful

[@barockintherye]

oh my god, this is just BRUTALLY GOOD.

[@amordegatos]

seeing them in austin this weekend- they do put on a great live show

[@chompzoo77]

Definitely great!!! It sounds like My Bloody Valentine with a touch of New Wave music... I hope I'll see 'em live very soon!

[@kalzino]

I wait you in Italy at May 2010!!!Greatttttttttt

[@IamBetaCloud]

fantastic performance. bravo.

[@tonyb7395]

This is proof that Even if you are balding you can still rock!

[@UNIVERSALRESOLUTION]

and ...the guitar player goes crrrzzzzyyyyyy!

[@vangoghsbone]

I really dig the weird bass sound

[@paezo]

BRUTAL

[@gandalfgreenhands]

I would also add- great jorb 90.3 Kexp- that was so greatly filmed and the audio was dead on as i would expect in that space. thats a good thing.

[@jaydavis5598]

Jay Space will forever be my favorite fucking drummer ever.. This band died when they let him go.

[@kriptonerock]

Epic.

[@roteazalee]

Awesome.

[@indieclock]

@Yacineskates. i second that emotion.

[@sprawl1984]

JMC can't put out good records anymore so I think I'll listen to these guy's now.

[@Stonare]

sawthem at the pukkelpop fstival last summer they where fucking awesom ! thamks gy fpr such a great performance!!

[@IvyMike777]

You guys have a great thing going here - Nosaj Thing, Daedalus now APTBS. All great quality sound too!

[@atarirob]

Why thank you, kind sir.

[@TheWells119]

looks like it. I think they might be curtis novak pickups, he makes replacement lipstick pickups for Jaguars.

[@saksilangit]

top notch...

[@cyyytr0n]

right on

[@Luvinhas]

THUNDERBIRD AND JAGUAR BEST INSTRUMENTS EVAH

[@shit311]

thats really cool. and single lipsticks are dor making hissy noise. im a dano freak and play noise rock as well.

[@TheWells119]

Death by Audio makes some amazing pedals, I'd like to get an Apocalypse fuzz and yeah I've played some reissues before in store, they're great little things for the price and really cool looking too

[@adabujiki]

i love this fucking guy

[@jcmlr1970]

great band i saw them perform this live!! was the fuck live!!!

[@panagiotischaralampopoulos7152]

absolutely magnificent this fucking radio stations never paly things like that. how can especially young people still heaR TO MAINSTREAM BULLSHIT. I AM 45 and this group makes me feel alive as i catch my self moving lke palying the druns. like the first time i heard the JESUS AND MARY CHAIN do not stay in the same things.music is evolving. it mis always fascinating to discover new things. this is a killer performance. this is to be underground music fan. it is not U2 OR COLDPLAY the indie music. THIS IS THE INDIE MUSIC PEOPLE

[@kitesproject-c2b]

I'm 14, feels awful when absolutely no one respects experimental music like this, do you know how hard it is to get a band? lel

[@panagiotischaralampopoulos7152]

DEAR FRIEND. DO NOT EXPECT OTHER PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS ALTERNATIVE. THIS MUSIC HAS ITS OWN LONELY PATH BUT IT HAS A PASSION LIKE NOTHING ELSE.IT IS FOR SOME SMALL CIRCLE OF DEVOTED FRIENS. IT IS A WAY OF LIVING BY SEARCHING FOR NEW MUSIC. THIS WILL MAKE YOU DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS. DO NOT EXPECT GIRLS OR MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS TO SUPPORT THIS MUSIC. THIS IS NOT THE POINT. THEY WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR FRIENS BUT ALTERNATIVE MUSIC WILL BE ONLY FOR YOUR SATISFACTION. KEEP SEARRCHING FOR NEW BANDS. FOLLOW THE ROAD AND YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED A 45 YEAR OLD ALTERNAIVE UNKLE

[@kitesproject-c2b]

Wowow, me just complaining

[@southrules]

Panagiotis Charalampopoulos KEXP is your friend, I'm same age, just saw Jeff the Brotherhood because of KEXP, best band ever!

[@renagtz]

Awesome! they sound almost as good live! too bad I wont be there the day they play at coachella =/

[@Slatersan4435]

THE ABSOFUCKINGLOUT BEST!!!!!!!!!!!never let it go,

[@TheWells119]

I've a zvex mastortion and a fuzz factory. The fuzz factory makes some pretty crazy noises and its fun to oscillate, and the mastortion, while very nice on a clean amp, gets kinda of muddy on a dirty amp, the amount of low end on it is pretty insane.

[@kameronwraithd.k.5363]

I had no idea Epiphone head and amp cabinets actually existed :O

[@ibelieveicansoar]

@rayolacer I've seen APTBS live twice; I'm a total drum snob and I remember my jaw being pretty much open while watching him bash away. He's one of the hardest-hitting drummers I've ever seen, and reminded me of Helmet's drummer when I saw them in '95. The drums are just not recorded very well in this clip, so they sound kind of flat and dry.

[@paranoidandroid8852]

Pure fucking magic

[@beatingcane]

superjohnny knows the deal, I saw them at musichall like two years ago with holy fuck and i still cant hear right.

[@TheWells119]

Ever since I saw these guys I always wanted a jaguar like he has, the lipstick pickups go really good with the rest of the chrome on the guitar. Also Vintage Danoelectros or reissue?

[@Badaudioengineer]

Amo a esta puta banda!!

[@lilasam44]

I' ll see them in 3 weeks cause of what I read about them, bit I will dicover something ....new ..Waow !I like it and I'm already sure I will love it!!don't know why..;a feeling ...what do you think guys????will it be a nice discover???

[@Mike1967b]

It is the "talent" pedal combined with the kick you in the balls pedal turned up to 11 of course! :)

[@bradfeige]

Sensational performance, REGARDLESS of peoples lame opinion of lack of organization. Music is art and often altered on the spot. Some people need to get a clue and my sympathies go out to them.

[@philphie]

whooooo shoegaze!!! spacemen 3!!!!!

[@microscepter]

i rarely comment cause i find it trivial and useless.. but.. Jesus H Christ!! That was fucking epic!! Love this band..

[@underplac]

oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[@SodawarsGaming]

@SuperJohnny You know, you could just turn up your speakers, and that would solve the problem...

[@sonicvlasis]

fuck yeah!!!

[@HenryJackification]

The Jesus And Mary Chain have never done something that epic sounding. These guys are another band entirely.

[@avorivtxen]

Yeah right, APTBS it takes to another level

[@wjow1]

they have two albums out

[@shit311]

srsly you got a nice taste. i have a fuzz factory and like how the osc sounds too [=

[@warmsparrow1]

joy division rocks.

[@atarirob]

Very true. Although, I'd have to disagree with you on the Jazzmaster. I think Fender Jaguar's are superior instruments, neck size, switching whatever. But, Jazzmasters and Jaguars are amazing. Both, equally. :D

[@46lar]

I have the Trex Mudhoney... HO LEE SHIT son its awesome!

[@junkiesatwork]

APTBS in RockAlParque 2010!! Just freaking epic stuff!! Kinda sad how people d rather go Calamaro's instead of staying to this madness; I did and im sooo stupidly satisfied about it... Bassist should have threw bass corpse further so i could reach the fucker, guck! Anyways, APTBS, u guys did it man, make it back to Colombia, quite sure ppl know what s really worth now
