The best guitar based band in ages. They are pissing all over everybody else, at last a band with A SOUND.

They played Athens on Saturday and blew everyone's head off, distortion and feedback and maximum volume, guitars screaming, the bass player falling into the crowd, a fantastic lightshow, absolutely brilliant!!
This is nothing for the light hearted!
They are touring the US from this week on and if you have the chance DON'T MISS THEM.

I've never listened to them but my band's bass player loves them. Where do I start?

Great band. Got all their albums and a couple of singles. Saw them earlier this year in Stockholm, the gig was stunning, the small club was full of noises and smoke...
Bought their T-shirt and asked if it's a naked woman or naked man on the front side picture. "It's a woman, it's feminist T-shirt "- said the singer who was standing behind the merch stall. I have to say it's a very hazy photo and it's being feminist is even hazier for me but it's still one of my favourite non-Sisters T-shirts - as the band as well.
If you ask where to start, it's not so easy to say. I fell in love with them after the first album which - at some moments - reminded me even very early Sisters (besides Mary Chain and some other stuff) but maybe it's just me. I would say all 3 albums are different and it's up to you which seems the best. I love them all.
And the shirt, it's still partly yellowish, after wasing, so it probably wasn't roadies' beer or groupies' pss on it but such kind of textile
Did I say I love that noise?

Interesting. To me it sounds like (JAMC offshoot) John Moore and the Expressway covering a lesser Sisters song, say
Heartland or
FALAA.

Have now listened to the new album Worship.
Have to say it is excellent!

I realy think their sound isn't that far away from the girls live-sound in their very early days.
But then again you can find so many different influences in their songs : suicide, ramones, sonic youth, swans, jamc, 60s pop, slowdive and so many others but in the end it just sound like A place to bury strangers.
Btw when the singer was asked about his favourite albums he mentioned amongst others Cocteau twins's : garlands.
Fine chap!

They are one of my favourite bands of the last years. I was immediately taken by their sound, right when the 1st album was released. Went to see them live when they did the support for MGMT and they just blew the main act of the evening straight out of the water (of course)! I remember being surprised they had a 'real' drummer as their 1st album sounded like drummachine bussiness to me... there certainly was that early Sisters sound, but also JAMC, My Bloody Valentine, Joy Division, Cure, etc Good influences
But they did make their own brew out of that
I've seen them quite a few times over the years and only once it was an average gig (a festival on a rainy afternoon), but every other one was amazing and the last one I saw was no less than sensational!
1st & 2nd albums are my faves, but also the Onwards To The Wall ep...
