A Place to Bury Strangers (APTBS) is an influential American rock band formed in 2002 in New York City, renowned for their powerful blend of noise rock, shoegaze, and space rock. The band, currently composed of Oliver Ackermann, John Fedowitz, and Sandra Fedowitz, has earned the title of “the loudest band in New York” due to their intense live performances, which have captivated audiences and garnered critical acclaim even before the release of their debut album.

The band’s journey began with Ackermann joining APTBS after relocating from Rhode Island, where he had previously played in the band Skywave. Under his leadership, APTBS released their self-titled debut album in 2007, which received national attention following a favorable review from Pitchfork. Their early performances, including notable shows with the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Jesus and Mary Chain, solidified their reputation as a formidable live act, leading to tours with major acts like Nine Inch Nails and MGMT.

In 2009, APTBS signed with Mute Records and released their second album, “Exploding Head,” further establishing their presence in the music scene. The band continued to evolve, releasing several critically acclaimed albums, including “Worship” and “Transfixiation,” showcasing their ability to innovate while maintaining their signature sound.

Most recently, APTBS announced their upcoming album “Synthesizer,” set for release in October 2024. This album promises to blend extreme noise with catchy hooks, demonstrating the band’s ongoing commitment to pushing musical boundaries.
