Artist of the Week: The XYZ Affair

Naming themselves after a pretty significant but relatively forgotten episode in American history, New York based XYZ Affair are putting the pop back in power pop (or are they putting the power back? You decide). They are having a "Pre-Siren Fest" party this Wednesday at Union Pool (though why they are doing so is beyond me since they aren't part of the Siren line-up, which they should be). They will also be at the Mercury Lounge on July 27th.
