A city, a nightmare, it's where we all sleep.

 

 

 

 

 

The name is the band; the music is the name. Our lives are borne out by the city in which we struggle.

Architecture frames our waking lives; blank or beautiful, no matter what you see or where you are, it is only stone. The city is a rhythm, a beat, knocking on our consciousness, so deep and ingrained yet we barely notice or understand.

Our philosophy is simple: to progress as humans and as artists. Turbulent with articulation we cram our lives and hopes into every second of our sonic creations. We are Subjects of the City; raw, powerful, melodious, dynamic guitar pop.

Our music is only our attempt at understanding our place; an idea mooted to make sense of what we feel and see. The city can be a conduit, a lover, an enemy or merely indifferent. When I consider us, I see dark streets, lonely places, with few people huddled hither and thither. The buildings hold our gaze down; beauty indeed is above us. Fuelled by the inconsistencies of humanity and the lack of honesty and expression in today’s music, we are looking for a chance to invite all into our own world. The stage is a catalyst, the raw scream from the depths of the city.

So we write and we perform and will continue to do so until we are either dead or infirm. We don’t want to be rock stars, we need not be famous; we need only be heard.
