Sleigh Bells MUSIC
Sleigh Bells

Brutally simple and simply brutal, New York’s Sleigh Bells strip things down to Alexis Krauss’s creamy vocals and Derek E. Miller’s extra-crunchy guitar riffs and massive drum-machine beats. But what they do with these rudimentary elements lifts them into a new pop paradigm—a shocking-chartreuse brand of bubblegum metal with dance beats that could topple the Chrysler Building. Sleigh Bells’ 2010 debut, Treats, was a fun, heavy revelation, stoking anticipation for the new Reign of Terror. (Showbox at the Market, 1426 First Ave, www.showboxonline.com, 8 pm, $20 adv/$25 DOS, all ages) by Dave Segal

Sleigh Bells were on NPR the other week, I guess the chick was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship and had intentions of becoming an educator but she decided to go with Sleigh Bells instead.

The Stranger recommends this huh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm2CvHKYW…

I hope the Stranger provides decent health care. Someone needs to get their fucking hearing checked.

@3: I was gonna say: if this is what I should be doing today, then I obviously have known fuck-all about what good music is for the past 80% of my life.

@3: Wow, the SNL guys mixed that terribly.

Their first album was great, at least.

I'm with #4. this band is THE WORST. they have no musical value. i am completely confused as to why NPR and the Stranger and any number of other media outlets are paying attention to them. they must have good PR and money to burn. sheesh.
