Modern Rivals Play "We Listen for You" CMJ Windown Party at Pianos on Sunday // New EP Available as Free Download



Modern Rivals Play I can't imagine going to an eleven hour show as a wind-down to CMJ Week but this does look like a good lineup of bands. NYC-based indie-rock band Modern Rivals, who could give Death Cab for Cutie a run for their money, are playing in the middle of the bill.

Modern Rivals released their debut EP earlier this year (as a free download - link above) and this is a disc that really needs to be heard. The EP's five tracks are tightly crafted pop gems that sparkle with energy and melodic hooks. This is the sort of music that rises above the noise and grabs you at first listen.



At Sunday's show, Modern Rivals play at 4PM and cover is $10.
