The Strange Walls

Jump to: navigation, search The Strange Walls are an American art punk band formed in New York city.

The band has established themselves within the NYC DIY scene, often noted by critics for their combining of Lo-Fi electronic music, dark lyrics and Punk vocal styles. Despite their heavily lyrical & sometimes melodic nature, the band is more often embraced by fans of experimental noise then by those identifying with goth subculture or variant club scenes. The band often refers to their sound as outsider music. British journalist & gothic music historian Mick Mercer writes in a 2009 review: "...there is a kind of diseased Dexy's [Midnight Runners] meets a peculiarly prurient Pogues about them. They merge the melodic with the miasmic, spreading the idea wide or snipping it off without a care. The idea itself seems to be what matters and the form is secondary, which I like, a lot. In fact it's a brilliant record, which can also be infuriating, and they know this, the bastards. Their pieces have a point, whether you like the finish or not, as there is nothing ornate, and sometimes a sense of the shambolic, but it doesn't matter because their imagination is superb and you will be impressed, even if it takes a little getting used to."
