The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Join Surfer Blood at Grand Central

First, New York's the Pains of Being Pure at Heart are one of the few acts that can convincingly meld the pop songcraft of the Smiths and the live thrash of My Bloody Valentine. A recently released new single titled "Say No to Love" is a mature, sweet anthem that also has some bitchin', pogo-worthy fills by drummer Kurt Feldman.
Also along is Hooray for Earth, another New York act that has no shortage of longing in the vocals — the mesmerizing "Surrounded by Your Friends" is a great example of making synthesizers warm and wildly human.
