CMJ, The College Music Journal Music Marathon, is just around the corner, and Bushwick Daily is all over it like bass on dubstep (yeah?). Whether you’ve been to CMJ five times or you don’t even know what it is, we’ll be here, reporting on the best new music we’re hearing. A little background: CMJ, taking place from October 15-19, is the largest indie festival in NYC, now in its 24th year and still a very powerful musical express. CMJ is similar to a festival like South By South West (which we also covered) in the way that there are hundred of official (branded) showcases going on every day as well as a ton of unofficial shows happening all the while, in Manhattan and Brooklyn (remember that epic Bushwick House Party last year?).
