Liars (US)

You know a band really has something going for them when the likes of Radiohead, TV on the Radio, Deerhunter, and the Melvins start cranking out remixes of tracks off their latest album. As Pitchfork put it, “Not every dark cloud breaks into a thunderstorm, but it constantly feels like one is lurking around the corner.” NME took it one step further, saying “You are about to enter a universe you’ve never before been to. Be prepared…” This band, of course, is Liars, the only trio in NYC to freely navigate the area between enthusiastic dance-punk and hysteric noise-rock. And all those rumors you’ve been hearing about their mind-blowing concerts? They’re true.
