Artist:
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 [...]

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - The Pains of Being Pure At Heart
-
Artist:
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…

Tweegaze

Artist:
Yes, Yes, Yes. Hopefully 2009 is all about Tweegaze. The Pains of Being Pure At Heart (fucking emo name) sound like a bang on cross between Belle and Sebastian and Jesus and Mary Chain, with a sprinkling of My Bloody Valentine. Their self-titled debut album majestic, thumping joy. Noisy guitars, happy melodies and drums that sound [...]

Album Review: the pains of being pure at heart - self titled
-
Artist:
-
Album:
It's rare that in 2009 a quality pop album creeps under the radar without any hype attached, but that's exactly what happened with the self-titled rookie outing from Brooklyn based four-piece The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Operating somewhere in between the fuzzy hum of shoegaze and the boom-boom-CRASH of amateurish garage (the good kind), The Pains... sound like the composite sketch of eve...

Artist:
I was a little concerned for The Pains of Being Pure at Heart going into SXSW. They seems to have the perfect storm of buzz going — they look and act like Vampire Weekend, they sound like Belle and Sebastian and Ride pulled into the blogging age and they arrived on the scene just in [...]

New Music: The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

Artist:
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart have been buzzing bright for a while now and I never took the time to turn the lights on…until now. I'm beginning to see where the hype is stemming from with this band. The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are a band overflowing with blissful noise pop or noiseful bliss pop…or popful noise bliss…and it takes me back to that early 90s sound I enjoy so much. Fr

Album:
“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

-
Artist:
-
Album:
It's hard to argue with a good pop song. If the melody is catchy, the beat moves along, and the words are discernible and fun to sing, you really can't ask for much more. Indie poppers, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, have crafted a self-titled debut that is packed full of simple, sturdy pop songs. Though sometimes placed within the noise pop realm, they would really only fit into the very ed...
