  A Place to Bury Strangers Massacre Toys in Fiery 'And I'm Up' Video

  October 22, 2012 – A Place to Bury Strangers might be better known for making speakers melt, but in the latest video from this year's solid Worship, the foreboding Brooklyn shoegazers turn up the heat on at least one action figure. Ricketier and more melodic than some of the band's more industrial-informed sonic assaults, "And I'm Up" could slot nicely next to the scuzzy indie pop of, say, underappreciated late-'00s DFA signing Shocking Pinks. …
