One of the artists we’re relatively new to who we’re planning to check out at the upcoming CMJ Music Marathon is New Orleans Generationals. They’ve just released a new track called “Sale City” off their recent three-track EP titled Lucky Numbers, and we can’t help but draw the somewhat obvious comparison to Joy Division on first listen.
Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner have just begun their North American tour and will hit up a few shows at CMJ next week among other dates with RACES, Devin, and Maus Haus. We highly recommend giving these guys a listen below, and checking them out live at one of the dates below.
