Get our exclusive shots of Coney Island’s hot, sticky Siren Fest, which featured afternoon sweatfests by Japandroids, Frank Black’s Grand Duchy, A Place To Bury Strangers and an especially feral performance by Israeli blooz-punx Monotonix

As the disciples of the Jesus & Mary Chain and like-minded bands, Strangers will certainly make you tap into your inner-darkness.

“-Even without the strobe lights and wall of amplifies set to “deafen,†A Place To Bury Strangers played like a band that will be headlining events like this in a year or two. Though playing pop melodies VERY LOUDLY is one of alt-rock’s oldest tricks, they pump enough sky-cracking volume, over-driven groove and special effects ear candy to make them feel like torchbearers, not imitators.”

A Place to Bury Strangers: As good as I’ve seen them musically. The sonic assault was turned all the way up.

This famously loud New York quartet was as deafeningly ambient as could be expected. Something of a 1980s shoe gaze revival band, A Place to Bury Strangers offered a welcome variation, though a hot July day is probably the entirely wrong context for their throbbing tangles of beautiful music. Still, I felt like my ear drums were going to burst as I photographed them, so I call the show a success.
