A Place To Bury Strangers: West Coast Tour

A Place To Bury Strangers Announce West Coast Tour with This Will Destroy You US Dates Run Through June
A Place To Bury Strangers will join Suicide Squeeze signees This Will Destroy You on a west coast tour this June. The two bands share an affinity for layered sonics and noisey, sweaty perfomances. Their sounds are dark and crushing. If APTBS are guitars as jet engines, TWDY are strings as avalanche. Strangers are currently touring in support of their Onwards To The Wall EP, a prelude to their full length album, Worship, due out June 26 (June 11 UK/EU) on Dead Oceans. The first single is available now for streaming: Listen to "You Are The One" The band also recently put out a split 7" with Ceremony on Famous Class records to benefit the Ariel Panero Memorial Fund at VH1 Save the Music. The disc is a family affair; Ceremony are former members of Skywave (Ackermann's pre-APTBS outfit) and Famous Class is run by long time friend Cyrus Lubin, who also plays drums on "And I'm Up" from the upcoming Worship. You can listen to the track "Burning Plastic" here: Listen to "Burning Plastic" APTBS will be touring in Europe through the middle of May before returning for their June dates with TWDY and capping off their summer at Metallica's Orion Festival in Atlantic City.
	RECENT PRAISE FOR APTBS "APTBS deliver the noisiest, most jagged fuzz in the catchiest packages..." -ALTERNATIVE PRESS "Onward to the Wall opens with "I Lost You"...a pummeling onslaught of banshee-wail guitar stacked on top of a chugging motorik bass riff, plus some gnarly, rancid feedback." -PITCHFORK "APTBS re-arrange the basic elements of Noise-Pop by destroying whatever preconceived notion you had towards the genre. Instruments are merely tools used to test the limits and knowledge of what sonic exploration really means, and Onwards to the Wall resembles the Home Depot at times." -AQUARIUM DRUNKARD "Onwards to the Wall is, by all accounts, punishing, brutal, bloody, visceral, damning and torturous while retaining a knack for melody and sugar-coated pop songsmithery." -POPMATTERS
