“No secret’s too safe, and how you can’t stay, higher than the stars.” When Pains’ first song came out I remember my attention was caught first, by the name, and second, by the sound. One of their first hits, “Young Adult Friction” captures the soul by its retro snappy charm. Their self titled album does not [...]Related posts:The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – The Pains of Being P

If there's one album that's come close (oh so close!) to somehow being better than Merriweather Post Pavillion, it's the Pains Of Being Pure At Heart's self-titled debut.

Some would argue that this screams "riding the ...

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart is definitely one of this year’s biggest hype bands, and it’s obvious why: their fuzzy pop is undeniably catchy and not overly drowned in the forced underproduction that can often plague the sub-genre. After a wildly successful self-titled debut LP, they return with Higher Than The Stars, an [...]

There's nothing more frustrating than a band drilling themselves into the ground before they've even truly lived. The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are a relatively new band that not long ago released their very first album. It was OK, not bad, nothing memorable but nothing to smash furniture about.

New York-based indie quartet The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart evidently wear their influences on their collective sleeve. Despite the 2009 release date, this record could double as an epitaph for shoegazing. Made up of guitar-reliant pop numbers, girl-boy vocals and lyrics that speak of youthful immaturity, you will…

Checked out The Pains of Being Pure at Heart at Schubas last night. It was a decent show, nothing to write home about. The band played for an incredibly short 25 minutes, speeding through song after song. It will be interesting to see what the road lies ahead for this band after [...]
