	Liars (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liars is currently a three-piece band consisting of Australian-born Angus Andrew (vocals/guitar), Aaron Hemphill (percussion, guitar, synth), and Julian Gross (drums).
		The first release from Liars as a three-piece was a split EP with the band Oneida, called Atheists, Reconsider (released December 2002).
		The band relocated to a cabin in the woods near New Jersey for the recording sessions, and immersed themselves in both non-fiction accounts of witch trials and traditional witch folklore.

	Mute.com: Liars: Biography
		A band withdrawing to a basement deep in the wilds somewhere and letting their every little wrinkle of rampant creativity and twisted genius seep deep into the shadows of this most poignant and chilling ghost story.
		Liars had negotiated with their label, Mute, that rather than record their second album in a conventional studio, with every spare minute costing them, that they invest in some modest studio gear and record the album in Angus's basement, with good friend Dave Sitek assisting.
		The band had already made a conscious decision, even before the tapes began to roll, to move on from the music of their first album, even though a whole clutch of live favourites from their first incarnation, including the pulverising 'Catchy Like Brains On Gangs' remained unrecorded.

		Liars are the sound of panic, of hearts beating too fast for comfort, that moment when things fall apart.
		Liars returned to London in June to headline the four day Sonic Mook 'Future Rock and Roll’ festival at the ICA over the Jubilee Weekend - critics and public alike are agreed - Liars are one of the most exciting live groups around.

	Liars: Aversion.com Interview
		Liars drew praise from critics, cheers from forward thinking fans and became a symbol for technology-related issues with their debut, They Threw Us in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top (2001, Mute).
		Loved or hated, there?s no doubt that the band?s blend of punk dynamics and background buzzes were the main reason it drew any attention good or bad: From musical Luddite to early-adopting hipsters, everyone who heard the album got wrapped up in its technological aspects.
		In fact, the notion that his band?s been ushered into the arena of a new rock band amuses him.

	* Dusted Reviews - Liars *
		The track brings to mind the Sonic Youth track "Satan is Boring," and Liars appear to have the same agenda as early Sonic Youth: to balance the primal with the arty, balance violence with fl humor, and find sounds that are modern and mystical.
		Liars uncover some godawful scraping that's indeed new, blurring the line between between guitar, percussion, and synth noise.
		It shows a band that can tap into something ancient, then stick a digital glitch on top, and have the result more frightening and dislocating than those elements could ever be alone.

	Liars: They Threw Us in a Trench and Stuck a Monument On Top (2002): Reviews
		Liars have a surprisingly unique approach that distinguishes them from other groups in their willingness to experiment with different tones, volumes, and styles, all of which make They Threw Us in a Trench and Stuck a Monument On an astounding debut.
		Liars got the punk wave thing down, but what makes them more interesting than their peers is their willingness to explore beyond the edges of the new-wave box.
		Liars are more about energy than solid songwriting, but these spastic, jagged grooves are powerful enough to inspire a sea of awkward punk-rock dances.

	Europunk.net - Band Profile: Liars Academy
		Liars Academy boasts powerfully crafted rock n roll layered with poignant melodies, irresistible hooks and earnest lyrics - a combination all too rare in "underground" music today.
		Liars Academy first showed up on the underground press radar (outside its native Baltimore, that is) with the 2001 debut release, No News Is Good News.
		Though it hinted at the band's previous formative work, the EP was clearly Liars Academy's first foray into serious songwriting and the first steps toward a singular identity.

	Lying Liars and the Lies They Tell By Philip Sherburne
		But the story of Liars' divided reception isn't really about whether the album is any good; it's an object lesson in the risks a band faces in straying from formula at this moment in time—and in the limits of the current critical taste for music with a retro bent.
		Whatever Liars' reputed live skills, this is not, as a Strokes album might conceivably be, an album for Friday nights in a dive bar, frugging to the jukebox and chugging Pabst Blue Ribbon.
		Or maybe Liars set themselves up for the sacrifice; perhaps adding Metal Machine Music—Lou Reed's famously difficult, widely panned 1975 double LP of squealing guitar feedback—to their résumé was part of the plan.

	Liars: Pitchfork Interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Liars' iconic Australian frontman Angus Andrews and guitarist Aaron Hemphill were kind enough to respond to all kinds of inane questions about the Brooklyn explosion, the "future", the past, and all points in between with grace and modest good-humor, despite my best attempts to smear their good name.
		This band put the crowd on their knees before them; this was intensity in its rawest, most direct form.
		The distinction between this set and anything Liars put forth on their albums is staggering, and formed the basis for the few remaining questions I had.

	* Dusted Features [ Sonic Youth Says Hello to Liars ] *
		After all, this is the band that began their careers as members of New York’s downtown elite, catching on to the tail end of no wave and avant garde composition in the early eighties and riding all the way through American hardcore’s heyday on SST.
		Before Liars took the stage, a girl in the crowd behind wondered to her friends what the openers were like.
		It was a measure of tight balance for the band as they buckled down and kept plowing straight through one of the best tracks they have in their arsenal.

	Splendid: Features: Liars
		They were, without question, my new favorite band, so when Mute picked them up in 2002, making what had seemed like a secret pleasure into the next hot thing, I had mixed feelings.
		Splendid: Liars were one of the first bands that had this jittery, kind of spastic Gang of Four, PiL sound, and now you hear that everywhere.
		It's gone from the point where Liars didn't sound like anybody else to now, where there are a lot of bands that seem like they're trying to sound like you guys.

	village voice > music > by Douglas Wolk
		Clubland and live bands have had next to nothing to say to each other for years, and the general absence of a "New York rock scene" (i.e., a bunch of popular local bands that run in the same circles) has always been a little embarrassing to explain to out-of-town visitors.
		I spent years wishing for a generation of local guitar bands that would catch the groove like they did around 1980, and now that scene is finally happening.
		Reissues of formerly uncool early-'80s groove bands like A Certain Ratio and Malaria suddenly have cachet, and young New Yorkers are following their example because it's about time the rock underground got something new to dance to again.

		We didn't know there were other bands by that name, but we knew it was a pretty common name, and we knew there had to be another.
		Liars: I think one thing probably, among many things that sets us apart from let's say the Strokes, is that Angus has a girlfriend-it's a well-known fact.
		Liars: I mean, a lot of the bands, like Black Dice or the Rapture, who we don't really know but seem to be getting a lot of press, are from all over the world [Black Dice has a member from as far away as Japan, the Rapture has D.C. roots].

	Splendid: Departments: LiveLine: Liars
		Well, the Liars deemed this place worthy of a visit while touring behind the recently-released They Were Wrong, So We Drowned, described by various critics as "unlistenable", "too scary to handle" -- the same critics who once labeled the band "blistering hot".
		The band pulled together a bit by the end of the set ("The Lord" and "The Chain" were particularly smooth), but overall, The Young People didn't inspire a trip to their side of the merch booth.
		This demonstrated once again that despite the new material's heavy subject matter, the band haven't lost their sense of humor -- nor have they completely sunk into a world of what a guy behind me referred to as "gothy shit".

	Salon.com Technology \| Courtney Love does the math
		This story is about a bidding-war band that gets a huge deal with a 20 percent royalty rate and a million-dollar advance.
		If all of the million records are sold at full price with no discounts or record clubs, the band earns $2 million in royalties, since their 20 percent royalty works out to $2 a record.
		So their profit is $6.6 million; the band may as well be working at a 7-Eleven.

		It, along with the rest of the band's just-released CD, Broken Record, is reminiscent of another New York City-based band, Liars.
		When the band leans back on a sullen melody, like on the ballady "You Are Red" and the gorgeous 7-minute closer "Thunder and Lightning," there are hints of the empty-street desolation that follows a night of Big Apple partying.
		The band shopped the recording to a number of labels, but no one could promise to release it by March.

	Liars Academy: Demons Aversion.com Review
		Slowly bands like Jimmy Eat World, Franz Ferdinand and Modest Mouse are pushing out all the mall-punk nonsense and alt-pop hogwash that’s been the meat and potatoes of rock radio since grunge imploded.
		It’s a wise move, as it sheds some of the generic qualities that plagued the band’s early release, instead proffering a mix of air-guitar ready arrangements and humungous vocal hooks.
		The band’s songs would make great radio singles — stirring everyone from Matchbox Twenty holdovers to the hipper Jimmy Eat set — but the band’s hooks are never big enough, sharp enough or thrown out with enough power to make them stick.

	TV on the Radio - Young Liars EP - Stylus Magazine
		In fact, attempts to pinpoint the inspiration for Young Liars are nearly futile as a result of the incredible diversity and nonconformity of the group’s influences.
		“Young Liars” and Blind” take more time than either of the aforementioned two, mainly because of their increased length and slower tempo, but are just as rewarding in the end.
		Young Liars is a remarkable work, thoroughly different from not only its peers, but also its influences.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Concert Review
		The Liars have a relentless experimentation that is their claim to uniqueness in this current crop, and in the material they debuted to Boston at TT’s, they demonstrated that they have not yet begun to enact their breakdown on conventional structures of rock and dance music.
		The other members of the band seem content to let Andrew be the focus of the group and, despite drummer Gross’ outlandish costume, they avoid the live show’s spotlight.
		As those who have heard it debut on the road know, there will be no sophomore slump for the Liars, and their concerts are among the most engaging and raucous in the rock underground today.

		People In Planes have done it differently to most bands, a lucky chance meeting with Sam and a seriously big blag of studio time, meant that the band didn’t have to trawl around record companies with a demo cd in order to find support to record their debut.
		Live the band have been nothing short of awesome, this from a band that have learnt their craft before they have begun to bark (unlike many U.K bands).
		The last time a band broke from that town it was 1979 and their name was Bauhaus.

	Liars Academy - Demons @ Halo-17.net
		are an emo band, and the emo they play is the embarrassing pop-rock type that the scene has been deluged with in the past couple of years.
		The band's first album was basically the same formula regurgitated over and over once again, but the band deserve credit this time for at least attempting to mix things up and incorporate some new ideas into their music.
		There are a few decent instrumental breaks here and there on the album, so the band isn't totally without talent, but for the most part, it's just the same old wall of distortion that every emo band manages to build, at work here.
