[Listen] A Place To Bury Strangers - "And I'm Up"

It's not long until we get a new release from A Place To Bury Strangers but as it gets ever closer the band have offered up a cut from Worship that's entitled "And I'm Up". It's a pretty slick and a little shoe-gaze in style and a great new listen from a band I already had a lot of respect for. See if you like it as much as I do down below.

Worship drops next week on the 11th of June in the UK and later in the month on the 26th everywhere else.

[SKOA Presents] SXSW 2011 Or Bust!

We are counting down the hours until Shey, Rocko and I hop on our respective planes from our humble homes and hit the hip streets of Austin, TX for SXSW. While we are all n00bz to the pure mayhem and insanity that is SXSW, we think/hope we have appropriately prepped our livers, iCals, eardrums, etc. for the days ahead of us. Although it is hard to tell how our days in Austin will actually pan out, we have carefully combed through every party, panel and showcase and prepared the following agenda in case you care to follow along or even follow us around. Mind you, we all have a few bands here and there that aren't playing a specific party that we'll be checking out as well, but this is a pretty good idea of where to find us.

If you don't see something on our list that you think we should check out, please drop us a comment! 

Here we go!
