Just a reminder that our third annual CMJ opening day party is today at Pianos in NYC. It’s free with two stages of bands going throughout the day- many whom have come from afar to play. We hope to see you there!

We’re pleased as freaking punch to announce the line-up for our annual CMJ Opening Day Party at Pianos. As usual, it is free, no badge needed and we’ll be taking up both floors of the venue with bands from all over the world. Check out the Facebook invite and let us know you’re coming!

Highlighting selections from their forthcoming debut album (due out in September) alongside the bulk of their magnificent self-titled EP, Deluka justified their growing buzz with poise and finesse. TMS Rating: 9/10. Read my Q&A with Deluka here. Follow ‘em on Twitter. Pics via Edward Einhorn.
