Members less_cunning Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 whoa 'sup w/ all the APTBS hate. i'm not that big of a fan by any stretch of the imagination but its not that bad either. its just not my thing. i think APTBS, Excepter & Psychic Ills are probably the only worthwhile NYC bands pushing any real boundaries. this is really sad time for NYC right now music-wise.

I {censored}ing love APTBS, amazing live act, seen them three times, seem like really nice guys too whenever I have briefly chatted to them. Also would really like to try some DBA pedals, seem like great tools for making noise and making it sound good still ain't easy.

DEATH BY AUDIO This post is for all you gear junkies out there. Over the last year we've done a bit of touring with the most wonderful A Place To Bury Strangers. If you've ever heard them live you should know that they are one of the loudest most insanely distorted bands around. What you might not know is that their singer and guitarist, Oliver, also creates their effects pedals. He has a company called Death By Audio and I highly recommend you check them out. They make pedals for everyone from U2 to Serena Maneesh, and now us. When we were in Brooklyn for Halloween we dropped by his shop/home/studio and checked out what all they had going on. I can definitely vouch for the guys and say they really put a lot of intelligence and love into these pedals. Hardy, Walker, and I have all jumped on the DBA bandwagon and have gladly tossed many of our old pedals for some of Oliver's creations. Currently we use 2 Interstellar Overdriver Deluxes, 1 Interstellar Overdriver, 2 Fuzz Wars, and 1 Harmonic Transmission pedal, between the three of us. The only reason I'm posting this is because I really do believe in those guys and their work (and of course their music!). Check em out. http://www.wreckingblahg.com/2009/11/death-by-audio.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members penelope twee Posted January 19, 2011 Members Share Posted January 19, 2011 i actually think their pedals "look" pretty great. pretty much Death By Audio, Fairfield Circuitry & Seppuku Fx/Diamond Skeleton are the only pedals makers that, basesd solely on design-wise, float my boat.sadly. i NEVER make pedal purchases based on "artwork." its not even a negligibly remote factor. Definitely, the aesthetics of DBA and Seppuku pedals are great. I like the way Malekko pedals look too. DBA obviously put a lot of thought into the appearance of their pedals and the demos sound good but they do seem somewhat overpriced. As for APTBS, they're great live and their second record was a real improvement on their debut but they're definitely very derivative. I would've thought Joy Division were a big influence, they're a lot more propulsive (and less medodic) than JAMC. I'd like a Soundwave Breakdown but I can't help but think that most of the sounds its capable of could be produced by a Fuzz Factory or something.

Members TheHarakiriEnd Posted January 19, 2011 Members Share Posted January 19, 2011 From my understanding the first APTBS album wasn't intended to be an album. Oliver made it with a drum machine and four track for a demo, then it got put out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members less_cunning Posted January 19, 2011 Members Share Posted January 19, 2011 i remember people citing the Cure a lot when the APTBS hype machine was in full jizz mode. they constructed their own particular idiom. i actually think that's why people were into the album. if it were just a str8-up copycat album, w/ the way people's attention spans are now, i doubt it would have gained as much traction as it did. a rock band w/ ideas. that is increasingly becoming very rare. whether you are clever enough to mine or refashion past modes or skilled enough to balance self-referential aesthetics w/o being excessively derivative. its a tough road to hoe. especially now.

Certainly sounds great anyway, I definitely like the tonez or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one sounds more like a blueprint for a sound I guess, it's got a few good songs, but blends together a lot more than the second one.
