Aquarium Drunkard » A Place to Bury Strangers :: Onwards to the Wall – "Oliver Ackerman operates the amazing Death By Audio effect pedals and custom stomp box brand. Most of these pedals sound like shock-and-awe devices detonating entire cities. Onwards to the Wall demonstrates that magnitude and range of power in a single guitar strum or click of a distortion box. On the other hand, it also succeeds by offering songs with cleaner passages, putting vocals first and allowing other instruments and new sounds a chance to lead the platoon into battle. It’s a nice look for a band that has already mastered both the loud-quiet-loud and LOUD-LOUD-LOUD formulas without ditching any of the inventiveness and sheer noise-making freak-outs that defines the group’s persona."

blahblahblahscience» Blog Archive » A Place to Bury Strangers – Onwards To the Wall – "The title track from APTBS’ new EP, which is due out tomorrow, is a compact piece of dark (loud) pop. “Onwards To the Wall” sees the Strangers at a place in their progression as a band where the hooks are a bit more plentiful and up in the mix and the rhythms are a bit more syncopated. "

Full EP stream: A Place To Bury Strangers – Onwards to the Wall | Beats Per Minute – "Sure it’s only a five track EP, but with the intensity that APTBS always brings, they can accomplish in five tracks what some bands can’t in twice as many.

LISTEN: Stream A Place to Bury Strangers’ new EP Onwards to the Wall in full | CHARTattack – "Right from the opening lick of the first song “I Lost You,” it's clear this is another heavy APTBS album. While new bassist Dion Lunadon gives the songs a garage-rock feel, the recordings are still permeated by the band's trademark wall of sound. "

A Place To Bury Strangers – ‘I Lost You’ | Sounds Better With Reverb – The wall of guitars hang from the ceiling over the furious mix while Oliver Ackermann’s characteristically deadpan vocals stand firm. ‘Onwards To The Wall’ sounds positively huge.

A Place To Bury Strangers | The Owl Mag – "It’s not often that you see a completely square music video, but A Place to Bury Strangers have released just that, because “So Far Away” is comprised entirely of Hipstamatic images. "

A Place to Bury Strangers | Onwards to the Wall – CD Reviews – "Onwards is, at its heart, just one big suicide tease, which is what makes it so fantastic. It's an exercise in potential self-harm that knows its limits but manages to squeeze emotional responses from you all the same. Several other weapons aid it in this game: Oliver Ackermann's sullen voice, Jay Space's weighty, vesuvian drum work and, on the title track, a freshly added female guest vocalist who's a dead ringer for Kimya Dawson"

Video Premiere: A Place to Bury Strangers’ Hipstamatic-Shot ‘So Far Away’ | SPIN.com – "Brooklyn noise artisans A Place to Bury Strangers presumably did not record their February 7 EP Onwards to the Wall on their iPhones. They did, however, make a video that way — check out their new clip for "So Far Away," which is comprised of snapshots singer-guitarist Oliver Ackermann took while using the "Ina' 1969 Film" Hipstamatic setting on his phone mashed together like an animated flipbook. There are kissing sequences, driving sequences, mustaches, and cameo appearances from both the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Alamo."

Ethical Dining Out

Here is a report and rating of places, national chains, some might think of to eat out. The rating is based on how employees are treated.

ROC National Diners’ Guide 2012 | Restaurant Opportunities Centers United- “WE ALL ENJOY EATING OUT.Unfortunately, the workers who cook, prepare, and serve our food suffer from poverty wages, no benefits like paid sick days, and little or no chance to move up to better positions. When the people who serve us food can’t afford to pay the rent or take a day off when they’re sick, our dining experience suffers.The newly released ROC National Diners’ Guide 2012 provides information on the wage, benefits, and promotion practices of the 150 most popular restaurants in America. The Guide lists responsible restaurants where you can eat knowing that your server can afford to pay the rent and your cook isn’t working while sick.”
