Thurs Aug 8th – San Antonio, TX @ Limelight
w/ The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, Sohns & Illustrations, Tigon (SF)
-Minneapolis noise rock trio, Buildings, have been busy since the Feb 2012 release of their second album Melt Cry Sleep. A month of touring Europe as well as 4 previous US tours haven't gone unnoticed. Alternative Press, Vice, Punk News, The Big Takeover amongst
others have heaped praise on the band drawing comparisons to Young
Widows and Jesus Lizard. Buildings have recently shared the stage with
METZ, The Men, and Titus Andronicus. The band is set to hit the road
again in August with a new split 7" with Atlanta's Hawks in tow. - Doubleplus Records

“Buildings
quite clearly know how to produce a suitable aural assault whilst being
able to provide more than just a blistering white noise: there
are numerous layers throughout that allow the listener to dig beneath
the initial smack in the face, thus making this more than a throwaway piece of work. It’s almost two months into 2012 now and this is easily my favorite release of the year so far.” --Rich Cocksedge, punknews.org
"We
should all be talking about Minneapolis three-piece punk band Buildings
more. Braille Animal, reissued in 2008 on label Doubleplusgood, is
about as strong of a debut as any—and the follow-up, Melt Cry Sleep, is
arguably even better.” --The Onion A.V. Club
“Buildings
generate a dense, harrowing roar so enormously outsized it’s hard to
believe that it’s being manifested by three ordinary-looking dudes.
Melt Cry Sleep holds interest more than capably, for the maelstrom the
band whips up is downright musical. There’s no special talent
needed to make a big noise, but it does take a certain level of
expertise to thread that noise thoroughly with hummable riffs as Buildings do here. 7/10” -- PopMatters
“Goddamn...Buildings
is one HELL of a killer loud rock band with major aggressive guts and
balls. Melt Cry Sleep is full of surprisingly smart well-thought out songs. Fantastic in so many ways... TOP PICK.” --babysue
“Based
in Minneapolis, the post-hardcore three-piece Buildings draws straight
from the Young Widows playbook, from the dissonant, anguished
guitar riffs to the sonorous bass to the gruff, reverberated shouts.
It's an evident inspiration, but Young Widows is a highly relevant rock band, and Buildings (excuse the expression) builds on Widows with an even more assertive and aggressive sound.” -- Scott Morrow, Alarm Press
