I´m from spain and in the early 90´s we got really hard to get to listen to stuff from independent companys, now I´m 36 and I may taste it again so easily ... ¡¡¡ I love these guys ¡¡¡
A reunion would be amazing Robert. Other bands I see as being related to your style of wall of sound guitar rock are returning to much success. RIDE, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Dinosaur Jr. I can tell you without question that barring a deathly illness, I would be there if you played in Toronto. This music is still tremendous. Wishing you well.
@Sometimescloudy They're selling out big clubs is what I mean. The big guitar sound is in vogue again and people are rediscovering these bands. I concur that Dino Jr are earsplitting live though. Never go front row. That's a mezzanine only gig.
It was a real thrill to see them live at CBGB. The audience was just crushed. In a good way. It was a wall of sound. The musicians became like genderless maniacs. In every good sense of the words. Total guitar band, just washes over you. I loved listening to them on a Walkman 1 on my morning rides to NY on the subway. These are nice people, too. Totally worthy band, great artists. I got this recording for free from Poss, a prince of a man.
Video really captures the vibrating hypnotic rocking thing down cold. Love this band. Why would one want to hear an acoustic of this. THis is ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was looking for The Peels and saw this band in the sidebar, always to to have the old noggin jarred with that OH Yeah I remember them too! As to The Peels, I remembered them after listening to Nico Vega.
Robert, I’m trying to figure out what year this video was released. In other words, is this the 1991 LP version, or “Now Is Now (Remix)” from the 1992 Now EP? I own both CDs, but don’t have them side by side to compare. And who directed it, and where was it shot?
This was for the 1991 LP version. (The remix sounds quite different). It was shot in New York City. I can't recall the director at the moment. He was a friend of Susan Stenger's The editing was very crude in those days....
Divine! I would love to see some live BoS on their official account! I swear I can find anything on YT and not the very very important big dark droning melodic Guitar-worshiping band!
I love BoS and there is a new band called Film School that you should check out. One or two of their songs remind me of BoS and nothing else does really.
Well, they did a nice EP with both an instrumental and a vocal version of "Paint It Black." Otherwise, you can't go wrong with "Veil." I knew them and saw them live one amazing night at CBGB. Terrific band.
@JordanBurnichon Not true. MBV is great too. All music moves on and evolves. Music without influence and context is experimental industrial and I listened to it alot for 5years, then got bored of it. Acacdemic concepts without any reference or influence from other styles is hella boring. Im happy to trace influences from MBV back to BoS and JAMC and Spacemen3 and further back to Lou Reed and others. No one is original, so get off your high horse, and lets share and enjoy.
It is a constant source of bewilderment as to why this band and also Bailterspace have not received the applause and credit they truly deserve.
Usually no promotional budget from the label they would never have been main stream with too much of a post punk sound
100% correct on both bands.
This is such an underrated band. Fucking love them. This and Hard Light are still some of the best tunes to drink a decent beer to after a hard day.
This is a quite magnificent song and a hugely underrated band.
Saw them at the Birmingham Hummingbird in England opening for Throwing Muses in '89. They were great.
For lovers of electric guitar sounds, this is heaven!

Javier Gurrachaga is a crazy dude
Love this tune since the day it came out!!!!
The video ending with leaves and flowers is absolute genius.
Still absolutely thrilling after all these years.

Uh ditto. My earplugs are ready.

Wonderful guitars
Still brilliant
Criminally underrated.
Beside Veil, get Love Agenda. Epic. The track Hard Light is truly heart-breaking.

I got lost in the frozen drone guitar
This video with sound can be seen on their myspace page

Great stuff..
@D4VERD4NN Old enough to remember good music.
Hello...
yeah! really cool band!!!

BoS is Boss! This is a good video. Really looks like music sounds....
Paige Hamilton’s former band.

This puts everything My Bloody Valentine did to shame.
Absolutely!
No it doesn't. It's just also very good, and just underappreciated
