Young The Giant To Descend On CMJ With Five Free Shows

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ RoadRunner Records) - The CMJ Music Marathon is coming... and with the annual event comes plenty of burgeoning bands you're not gonna want to miss. And amongst this year's crop of must-see bands is SoCal-based newcomers Young the Giant. If your skepticism is telling you that, sure, we have to say that, then don't take our word for it - listen to our friends at MTV instead, who were "..thoroughly impressed with the type of melodic pop/rock they were playing, considering their age (all band members are between the years 20-22)."

Consider that "they have been playing music together since they were in high school (which may account for the degree of polish their music has). Songs like "My Body" are anthemic in their own right, with a hook you'll be singing for the rest of night after their set."

Sold yet? Grab a free MP3 of "My Body" at amazon.com now and start practicing the words so you can sing along at the shows listed below. All are free and open to the public.
