Kip Berman, the band’s lead singer and guitar player, said as they took the stage, “I think this is going to be a special night.” This was around 9:15.

These recording have already established The Pains of Being Pure at Heart as a noteworthy up-and-coming artist with a distinct sound and wide range of influences. Their music suggests any number of influences from Shoegaze to Britpop. They are reminiscent of artists such as My Bloody Valentine and The Smiths, especially when it comes to vocals.
