For all the noise junkies, A Place to Bury Strangers have mixed up Bowie’s classic track “Suffragette City” with some ch-ch-changes. This is not your typical David Bowie cover. Far from the shades of Brit and Jermaine doing their best Bowie in Space. It is a 100% A Place To Bury Strangers interpreting their version of one of the most brilliant rockers alive. Dark, menacing, and of course noisier! Really rad cover here, so enjoy. We know we did! Grab the track below:

FREE MP3: PIERCED ARROW: THE DOORWAY
Pierced Arrow, formed from the wreckage of Portland Oregon’s Dead Moon, an underground cult garage rock band from 1987 to 2006, embody a fiercely independent DIY ethos and rock and roll spirit that is unmatched by most musicians today. Band mates Fred Cole and real life sweetheart of 42 years, Toody stubbornly record everything in mono, press their own albums on vintage equipment and live out in the woods in a mansion they build for themselves. Six grandkids later, they still play raw, ragged straightforward rock ‘n’ roll, garage punk that comes from a musical culture spanning 30 years and sounds relevant despite the bands youngest member being 39. These guys are no joke.
The band has announced an upcoming North American tour that begins September 30 at legendary club 7th St. Entry in Minneapolis, MN.The ex-Dead Moon veterans will play 21 dates across the US before closing out the tour in Weed, CA on October 23rd.
The jaunt comes in the wake of Pierced Arrows’ recent split 7″ with label mates Black Lips, released in July via Scion A/V. In keeping with the other releases in the Vice-curated Scion Garage 7″ series, both bands debuted new songs on the single. Pierced Arrows’ offering, “The Doorway”, is a keen demonstration of the raw, unbridled rock that collaborators Fred and Toody Cole have honed over their 30+ year career. Scion A/V also recently released the band’s first proper music video for “This is the Day” from their most recent full length Descending Shadows.

FREE MP3: DOES IT OFFEND YOU YEAH?: WE ARE THE DEAD
Here’s a brand new shiny track and video from Does It Offend You, Yeah? titled We Are The Dead. The band tells us they have been writing their new album for nearly two years, while trying to fit in a tour. It’s been one big rollercoaster ride for the band with ups and downs (as well as lefts and rights) and the album has been through more re-writes than the “Ghostbusters 3” script. They are making some serious headway though and are in the final process of putting this beast to bed. As a treat to the fans who’ve supported them at clubs and festivals all over the world they are offering a free track + remix parts. (Just don’t tell their label). Pretty rad. Download it below:

FREE MP3: SOFT LANDING SET TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM THIS FALL
Soft Landing, the trio comprising Beirut’s Paul Collins & Perrin Cloutier, along with Mike Lawless, are self-described as “a bunch of Jorge Ben wannabees” and are releasing their first album this October. Soft Landing began as a recording project by Paul Collins. Between finishing school and touring the world with Beirut, he never really had time to focus on his project. After a month long tour in Brazil, Beirut took a break. It was then that he grabbed Perrin Cloutier (Beirut) and Michael Lawless (Paul’s college friend). Soft Landing, the band, was born. Knowing that free time like this never lasts, the band would practice almost everyday. In January, they drove out to Chicago, and recorded their debut record with Griffin Rodriguez (Icy Demons). The record is currently being mixed, and will be out soon. All of Paul’s songs seem to pull together multiple influences. From Jorge Ben to Arthur Russell, it’s all in there. The beats are huge, the electric guitar is liquid, and the acoustic relentlessly propels the rhythm. Yet, the bands ultimate goal is to make honest music that suits the players playing it.
MP3: SOFT LANDING- “MIC CHECK”
SOFT LANDING has a couple shows coming up at the end of July.
