As you probably know, we had a last minute <a href="http://apocalypseshock.blogspot.com/2012/04/we-regret-to-inform-you-that-grimes-has.html">cancellation with Grimes</a> for this year's Culture Shock. As unfortunate as this is, we have no choice but to move on with the festival, and we are proud to announce that her replacement on the lineup will be <a href="http://cameouttanowhere.com/">EMA</a>!<br />
<br />
EMA is the current project of Erika M. Anderson, formerly of the band Gowns. She released her debut LP as EMA, 'Past Life Martyred Saints,' last year on Souterrain Transmissions. The album draws equally from folk and noise rock, and is fronted by overtly honest lyrics that deal with abuse, sexuality, and death, among other topics. EMA's live show varies from start to finish, and at any given moment it can recall the intimacy of a folk singer, the raw energy of Nirvana, the stage antics of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, or some combination of the three.<br />
<br />
Here are some EMA music videos:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://theartful.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/big-freedia-940x626.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://theartful.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/big-freedia-940x626.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>The after party on Friday will be a live performance in the stood by New Orleans bounce artist <a href="http://bigfreedia.com/">Big Freedia</a>. If you're unfamiliar with bounce music, it's big on call and response vocals, high energy beats, and a whole lot of ass shaking. Big Freedia has been considered one of the "sissy bounce" like Katey Red and Sissy Nobby, who all identify as queer, though Freedia disregards the categorization, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Freedia#cite_note--6">saying</a> there's no reason to separate straight bounce and sissy bounce. If you've seen Big Freedia then you know what you're in for. Otherwise, <a href="http://apocalypseshock.blogspot.com/2012/03/another-artist-announcedwhen-will-we.html">this video</a> should clear things up. Recommended if you like: to dance<br />

The group released their debut full length album, <i>Habits of the Heart</i>, late last year, and it blended all of the genres that both Talib and Res have become known for creating. Live, they'll be bringing a full band and we can even count on them playing some Talib Kweli classics, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHr1yGD4Lvw">like "Get By"</a>. Recommended if you like: Mos Def, Janelle Monae, Common, Erykah Badu, The Roots<br />

They hail from Montreal and make the kind of indie rock/pop that we've seen from their fellow Canadians like Wolf Parade and The New Pornographers. They've got four albums under their belt, having most recently released <i>A Sleep & A Forgetting</i> earlier this year. RIYL: The Unicorns, Wolf Parade, The New Pornographers, Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire<br />

Like those two artists, Grimes makes incredibly forward thinking pop music and since the album's release date, she's only been getting bigger and bigger. Regardless of your taste in music, most can agree that <i>Visions</i> is already one of the most standout albums of 2012. RIYL: tUnE-yArDs, St. Vincent, Animal Collective, Gang Gang Dance<br />

His most recent album, <i>Dive</i>, came out in late 2011 and since then he's been the talk of the dance music scene. RIYL: Four Tet, Caribou, Boards of Canada<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://rcrdlbl.com/files/rblog_images/felice_brothers_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://rcrdlbl.com/files/rblog_images/felice_brothers_3.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><a href="http://www.thefelicebrothers.com/">The Felice Brothers</a> have been making country leaning folk rock for the better part of a decade with eight full length albums under their belt. They've left a huge mark on the folk scene having played folk festivals like Newport Folk Festival and Clearwater Festival, in addition to others outside of their immediate realm like Bonnaroo. RIYL: Deer Tick, The Avett Brothers, Gillian Welch<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://the-re-up.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/24602_casey-veggies.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://the-re-up.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/24602_casey-veggies.png" width="300" /></a></div><a href="http://caseyveggies.com/">Casey Veggies</a> is a young rapper from LA who has collaborated with Dom Kennedy, Pac Div, Odd Future, and others. He released his debut LP, 'Sleeping in Class,' in December 2010 and has spent the last year touring. He released the deluxe edition of 'Sleeping in Class,' which includes 5 bonus tracks, this past September. RIYL: The Cool Kids, Dom Kennedy, Pac Div, Kendrick Lamar<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://thegeekinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/4511414755_410dd0a4b5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://thegeekinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/4511414755_410dd0a4b5.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><a href="http://www.facebook.com/cloudnothings">Cloud Nothings</a> began in 2009 as an outlet for frontman Dylan Baldi to create home-recorded noise pop in the vein of contemporaries like Wavves. This past January, they released their second official full length, <i>Attack on Memory</i>, and took things in a much bolder direction. The record was recorded full band in studio and produced by the legendary Steve Albini, who has lent a similar style of production work to Nirvana, Pixies, and PJ Harvey. The new album sees the band channeling the guitar-driven alt-rock of those bands and especially of Sunny Day Real Estate. As a result, <i>Attack on Memory</i> is one of the best no-frills rock records of 2012 and Cloud Nothings are sure to bring this newfound energy to Culture Shock this year. RIYL: Sunny Day Real Estate, Nirvana, Japandroids, Wipers<br />

Since 2007, they've been recording for Sub Pop, whose eclectic roster has given us everyone from NIrvana to The Shins to Fleet Foxes, so if Sub Pop trusts a punk band in an age where <a href="http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=%22punk+is+dead%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8">punk is dead</a>, so should we. Their live show comes stacked with outlandish stage antics and tons of moshing from the crowd. Should be nuts. RIYL: The Men, Ceremony, Fucked Up, The Stooges, The Jesus Lizard<br />

They've toured with everyone from salsa king Tito Puente to alt-country rockers Wilco, and based on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZYGe6oIg4c">live videos</a>, they look like a ton of fun to see and dance to. RIYL: Tito Puente, Jimmy Bosch, Ikebe Shakedown<br />

She released two albums in 2010, 'Geidi Primes' and 'Halifaxa,' and followed that last year with 'Darkbloom,' a split with d'Eon which lent the standout Grimes track, "Vanessa."

The MECs expressed their interest in passing by all of the clubs to see just who the people want for CS. Being on the committee as well as president of HHC, I figured their first stop should be us. So, for this particular meeting, we're gonna talk artists... why we can't get certain people (like Lil' B).... and list down potential contenders for CS.</span><br style="font-family: "lucida grande", tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;" /><br style="font-family: "lucida grande", tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "lucida grande", tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;">SO FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LINE-UP, YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO SPEAK YOUR MIND AND SUGGEST SOMEONE THAT YOU WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE TO COME HERE FOR CULTURE SHOCK (ESPECIALLY to those people in charge).</span><br style="font-family: "lucida grande", tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;" /><br style="font-family: "lucida grande", tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "lucida grande", tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;">P.S.

The album, produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach (whose 2008 LP, <i>Attack and Release</i>, Jessica provided vocals on), is a melancholic folk masterpiece bringing together country-stained psychedelia and the desolate moods of a Nick Drake or Elliot Smith album. She followed that up this year with the slightly brighter <i>Tell Me</i>, released on Nonesuch, home to Wilco, David Byrne, and The Magnetic Fields. The album's lead single, "Our Hearts Are Wrong," is available for download below. Jessica will be performing solo at this year's Fall Fest. RIYL: Cat Power, Gillian Welch, Jenny Owen Youngs<br />

Combining the dark moods of black metal and the pure fury of classic rock & roll, Kvelertak deliver punch after punch and refuse to slow down. They released their self titled debut, produced by Converge's Kurt Ballou, last year. You can download the track "Mjod" below, and though it's not downloadable, it just wouldn't feel right not to point you in the direction of album standout <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmhVKq-vUMs">"Blodtorst"</a>.

Since the album's release, it has made <a href="http://www.spin.com/gallery/best-albums-2011-so-far?page=25">Spin's Top Albums of 2011 So Far</a> and helped land them a spot at Pitchfork Music Festival, where they <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loFEiKExY94">left quite an impression</a>. And G-Side aren't stopping there. Before 2011 finishes up, they'll have dropped another full length, <i>Island</i>, which includes "Gettin It," featuring guest vocals by <b>Stalley</b> and <b>Joi Tiffany</b>, and a <b>Tame Impala</b> sample. That song can be downloaded below. Their songs are full of woozy synths, hard snares, and a biting flow with the attack of dirty club rap and the more poetic sensibilities of the underground. RIYL: Outkast, UGK<br />
