About

Label: Blast First, Restless, Rough Trade Germany/World Service

Bio: Adamantly arty, these New York subversives have since 1986 never lost faith in hypnotic guitar....Robert Poss and Susan Stenger prevail with dronefests rich in texture and heavy with stream-of-consciousness musings....The radical strategy pays off in music that is brainy, visceral and bracing.— R...

Press

“Band Of Susans, a co-ed New York City quintet, have put more electric guitar on one record than any other I've ever heard.”

— Melody Maker

“This will blow yer f**kin head right off....This is utterly dazzling. ”

— Sounds (U.K.)

“Chiming, buzzy, trilling, dirty, clean, droning, swirly, gooey.... It's in there. Disparate guitars inhabit the songs like tenants in an East Village walk-up: they're quarrelsome, drunk on Rolling Rock -- each wants to be heard for itself, yet taken together the sum is greater than the parts. ”

— Raygun

“Band Of Susans are reaching further out, moulding precise three-pronged guitar raids into grand sculptures. ”

— N.M.E.

“What truly distinguishes BOS is a talent for building their music around small but durable melodic or chordal units, which gives them a monolithic power matched by few.”

— Creem

“THIS is the kind of record that puts everything else into perspective. Compared to all the turgid, overstrained rock that s been clawing its way from America these past years, Veil soars like Lindbergh s plane...A sublime, breathtaking fluency. This is rock at its most liberated and free-flowing.”

— Melody Maker

“All hail the overdriven amp, the feedback-saturated guitar pickup, the hum of harmonic sustain, the clamorous collision of power chords in the heart of the sonic maelstrom....Let us now praise Band Of Susans. ”

— Rolling Stone Magazine

“Band Of Susans never loses sight of the passion that underscores the rigorous intellect of their music.”

— Chicago Tribune

“A crucible of high art and trash rock culture. ”

— The Wire
