Sleigh Bells - Jingle all the way!
This one is going to split the jury. Sleigh Bells are not a Christmas novelty act (some will disagree) but another band from the People's Independent Noise Republic of Brooklyn and an immense grungy dance punk juggernaut consisting of Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller a former hardcore rock guitarist. For influences think Bow Wow Wow, crossed with Lil Wayne and then throw in the Beastie Boys, White Stripes and Le Tigre. As for the music Sleigh Bells elephantine beats don't just hammer the damn things could pile drive concrete supports into the foundations for skyscrapers. Their primitive guitar fuzz is wickedly distorted and married to the simplest of pop melodies. Krauss's ever so sweet voice provides tranquillity amongst this cacophony. Thereby this irresistible mix combines with room-shaking production and big guitars and is the reason why so many people are salivating over this album on the blogosphere. When I first played the opener "Tell em" on my car...

Intense, confident and satisfying
As many have stated, Sleigh Bells have gotten a lot of buzz over the past year for their unique sound. There isn't an easy way to classify Treats; Some have drawn parallels to late 90's rap infused with The White Stripes and Le Tigre or MIA's Arular. There's even some classic rock influences to be found. All are valid, but there's enough going on here that the album as a whole has no comparison. Derek Miller's hardcore roots are evident here, as is Alexis Krauss' previous work in a girl group. The two seem destined to clash, but defy the cynics and become one of the most interesting new acts this year. From the beginning track, "Tell 'Em," I was hooked on the booming bass, storming guitar and Alexis' beautiful voice. The following track, "Kids," is one of the primary tracks that draws comparisons to late 90's rap. "Riot Rhythm" follows the first track's sound closely, and uses some addictive guitar riffs at that. "Infinity Guitars" is among one of the...

Massive, Intense With Ethereal Vocals - Unique Sound!
Sleigh Bells - Treats (2010) I can understand why some people reject this music out of hand. It's a little gimmicky, maybe a bit contrived . . . but ya know what? I couldn't care less about that. This album is super pumped up and fun to listen to. It's got a heavy electronic sound with booming rock beats and electronic drums contrasted with airy, high-pitched vocals. The drums are intentionally distorted, sounding like they were overloading speakers with the volume turned up to 11 (they aren't too loud on the album though). Alexis Krauss has that sexy little girl thing going on in spades. She sounds quite juvenile - and that's intentional. These musicians are indeed young and this record comes from an unapologetically youthful place. Her vocals sound a bit like she's cheerleading at times. You can dance to this music, and while it might seem overly repetitive to some, a good listen reveals plenty of melody. The first four or five songs may give the impression that they've...

The New York City duo known as Sleigh Bells emerged in the Fall of 2009 with rhythmic pop songs that combine overdriven guitar riffs and sugary female vocal melodies. Derek Miller, who played in the popular Florida hardcore outfit Poison the Well, teamed up with singer Alexis Krauss after he happened to serve her and her mother at a Brazilian restaurant in Brooklyn. As proof of their winning formula, Sleigh Bells quickly earned the adoration of critics at the New Yorker, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and the Village Voice. They are celebrated by both their hometown's outer-borough lo-fi rock scene and international pop acts like Major Lazer and MIA, who collaborated with Derek on her forthcoming third LP.

" For a band that wrote about brace-face tweens on its first album, Sleigh Bells offers up refreshingly self-aware commentary on "Comeback Kid," the first proper single from their upcoming sophomore LP, "Reign of Terror. " For a band that wrote about brace-face tweens on its first album, Sleigh Bells offers up refreshingly self-aware commentary on "Comeback Kid," the first proper single from their upcoming sophomore LP, "Reign of Terror. With few choruses in sight and beats so assaulting they're practically metal, Brooklyn duo Sleigh Bells earned unexpected buzz for their 2010 debut, "Treats.
One scene from "Comeback Kid" shows singer Alexis Krauss strutting around a sun-washed beach in shredded acid-washed jeans and giant heart-shaped earrings while another has the noise-pop superstar looking like a bubblegum teen queen gone bad as... In the first video for their soon-to-drop sophomore record, Sleigh Bells seem blissfully stuck in some dreamy flashback of 1985. Later in the video, Derek slips on a varsity jacket and the duo take a spin through the grocery store, dropping lots of Hostess goodies and Chips Ahoy.
Where CSS merrily skips along that line of electro-pop/punk, Sleigh Bells blows up at the extreme end of the spectrum. Gushingly lauded and roughly derided in disproportionately undeserving measures, Sleigh Bells' intoxicatingly abrasive sonic smash-up
Sleigh Bells — Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss — will perform pop-meets-metal-meets-electro-beat, but not rap metal, May 26 at the Roseland Theater in Portland. By L. Kent Wolgamott for Sleigh Bells was a buzz band for six months without
Noise-rock duo Sleigh Bells' guitarist-songwriter Derek Miller didn't intend to take a break from performing when he left his Florida hard-core rock band in 2004. Miller wanted to start a new project with a female vocalist.
