Brooklyn based five piece R&B indie rock outfit The Americans, are set to rock out at the 2010 CMJ Festival in New York City with several anticipated headlining gigs.
Returning to NYC after a hugely successful London tour, performing at such London staples as The Flower Pot and Yo Yo, the band is now gearing up for the release of their new single "Requiem" featuring Sean Lennon on October 25th. Lennon and lead singer/guitarist Charlie Klarsfeld produced the track.

What the US press is saying:
"You can dance to it. You can drive to it. You can really, really like it even halfway through the first song." - NYLON MAGAZINE
"Together, they have created a wonderfully strong collection of catchy pop melodies that are as danceable as their lyrics are…" - SELF PORTRAIT
"Inspiration of black comedy with lots of blood and gore…'Requiem' a must see video…" - PAPER MAGAZINE
The "Requiem" video also found its way to the homepage of MySpace UK for a 24 hour exclusive.
"London is practically a new home for us. Can't wait to come back for a February release." states Klarsfeld.
The Americans will sound off their soulful indie-rock, with a tinge of psychedelia, in front of their adoring fans at CMJ festivities, as well as launching their single "Requiem" at a hometown release party.
