Of the ‘The Bands’ in garage revival of earlier this century/millennium, while Sweden’s The Sounds (QRO spotlight on) may not have the most inventive sound, the band (QRO photos) – fronted by frontwoman extraordinaire Maja Ivarsson – is electric live (QRO live review). They come to CMJ behind their new, just-out Weekend.

Arts & Crafts Records

10:00pm – Gold & Youth
11:00pm – Zeus

Toronto’s own Still Life Still has stretched one studio album further than a lot of musicians push their whole careers. Months before their first record – Girls Come Too (QRO review) – hit the shelves, the expansive indie rockers had already lined up Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene (QRO spotlight on) to produce. Factor in a record deal with Arts & Crafts, a spectacular live show (QRO live review), and their recent follow-up Mourning Trance, one thing becomes clear: despite their short discography, they Canadian quintet are poised to shine at CMJ (QRO photos at a festival).

Bringing the seventies rock is Toronto’s own Zeus (QRO photos at a Canadian festival). They’ve previously served as backing band to Jason Collett (QRO photos with Collett at a festival) and did great work with Collett on the ‘Bonfire Ball Revue’ tour (QRO live review), but know how to do it all on their own, like on last year’s Busting Visions and 2010’s Say Us (QRO review).

A young band (QRO photos at a festival) on the upswing in terms of hype, but one that deserves it, is Great Britain’s Yuck (QRO live review), who have the kind of skilled-yet-accessible punk (QRO photos at a festival) that’s worked so well for Sonic Youth (QRO live review) & Dinosaur Jr. (QRO live review).

There isn’t a band as beautiful in appearance or sound as Au Revoir Simone (QRO spotlight on). The trio of Heather D’Angelo, Erika Foster (QRO photos), and Annie Hart (QRO interview) make sweet music, most recently with 2009’s Still Night, Still Light (QRO review) and their new Move In Spectrums (QRO review), out just last month. And songs like “Another Likely Story” (QRO video) and “Take Me As I Am” (QRO video) don’t wilt live (QRO photos outdoors), but flourish (QRO live review).

Cults
Omar Souleyman
Pusha T

When Cults (QRO photos) broke out in 2010 with infectious single “We Go Outside”, they’d achieved the near impossible: being famous without anyone knowing anything about them (QRO photos outdoors). Since then, the wall of silence has broken down (QRO photos), with the catchy sixties male/female duo recruiting a band (QRO photos outdoors at a festival), playing South-by-Southwest (QRO photos), and signing to major label Sony for 2011’s Cults (QRO review). But even if you’ve got a face (QRO photos) to put to the un-Google-able name (QRO photos at a festival), they’re still a hook-laden band (QRO photos at a festival), who come to CMJ behind their just-out follow-up, Static.

Celebrate the Arab Spring at CMJ with Omar Souleyman! The Arab/Kurdish musician (QRO photos at a festival) hails from northeastern Syria, a hotbed of today’s brave resistance to the (hopefully) next Mid-East dictator to fall. Thankfully Souleyman’s traditional Middle Eastern music – much of it recorded live at local weddings – has already traveled the world.

Page France singer/creator Michael Nau began Cotton Jones (QRO photos) as a side-project, but it has since become the Maryland native’s full-time gig, alongside Whitney McGraw.

Out of Austin’s own psychedelic rock scene comes White Denim (QRO live review at home in Austin), but they’re more accessible than most psych-rock (QRO photos), if also correspondingly less inspired (QRO photos at a festival).
