2008 is the year of the p|s.
May 5, 2008: The Ghost House was vibrating with the sonic impact of five(six?) bands last eve. I was really engaged by the massiveness and total intensity of polarOPPOSITEbear from Wichita. Completely loud. As in moving the pant legs from 10 feet away loud. The P|S played our first house show of the year and must give it up to Ghost. Fanstastic. The intimacy is totally addictive. The immediacy. The danger of the stairway. Lovely.
May 8, 2008: Box Awesome with Chords for Wallkill and In Space. Should be delightful. New system at the BA. Bands I have not yet seen. Prepare yourselves and join us for some delicious samples of the future.
REVIEW: And also a little love from our friends overseas at TSM Radio UK. A brief sampling of their kind words: "With this self titled track comes a bombardment of U.S guitar rock, tinged clearly with 80's New Wave British influences. We are lead in by a bass rift which echo's of Joy Division, and there is no denying a strong Cure feel to this amazingly vibrant song. There are of course some American influences evident too; the vocals are reminiscent of Arcade Fire in their haunting harmonies. There is a hungry sense of urgency conveyed through the up tempo beats and hearty vocals that gives this song an interesting edge. "It's like moving in a dream, you're asleep but your body doesn't know it," with their well written lyrics and catchy melodies this American band are definitely stirring up some interest."<more> or http://www.tsmradio.net/review-pharmacyspirits.html
