the deli<br />
the everything magazine about about the the emerging nyc music nyc scene bands<br />
Issue #30 Volume #2 Spring 2012<br />
Note from the Editor<br />
Dear readers,<br />
Another year goes by, and another, new generation of<br />
musicians is in to change the face of the NYC scene.<br />
Every spring, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Deli</strong> highlights the most promising local<br />
emerging talent in the “Best of NYC” issue that you are now<br />
reading. In this issue you may find the next Vampire Weekend,<br />
Pains of Being Pure at Heart, or Here We Go Magic, three of<br />
many artists who were featured in past “Best of NYC”<br />
editions well before they became commercially successful.<br />
Because of the sheer amount of names, we tried to make<br />
things easier for our readers by organizing things by genre<br />
(which is another entire challenge, requiring some kind of<br />
painful compromises). Hope this will help you navigate<br />
through the issue.<br />
And don’t forget that even the most sophisticated poll cannot<br />
tell the whole story of the NYC emerging bands – for that you<br />
need to head to our website: nyc.thedelimagazine.com.<br />
