Pop Tarts Anniversary Bands: New York Times

Who: New York Times
Slot: 11pm
Resides In: Brooklyn, NY
Why You Should See Them: Each time I hear New York Times I am reminded of so many of the powerful rocking women that came before this band. Sleater-Kinney, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and so many others are found in their powerful songs that at times it can be difficult to separate them from their influences. Luckily the band have forged an identity all their own with their unique blend of punk, new wave, and power pop that is immediate and welcoming, but still undeniably strong. This band has grown a lot since they were first named my Band of the Week and now here they are finally playing one of my shows and headlining it and we're thrilled to have them on board!!!
