Melodic metalcore
from the heart of London, UK.
THECITYISOURS are a
5-piece metal band from the capital who have quickly garnered attention and
growing support from peers, industry and fans alike, with their high-octane
live show and the success of their debut album, ‘LOW’ (2019) which smashed into
the top 5 iTunes metal charts with several singles appearing in editorial
playlists with the likes of Amazon, Deezer and Spotify (Including 2 covers on
New Core and Metal UK) supporting the band.
2019 was a very busy
year for City, with appearances at a slew of UK festivals including Camden
Rocks, Macmillan Fest, Burn It Down, Holloween, a fly in appearance at High Fives
Summer Festival in Sweden, a headline set in the Doghouse Tent at the revered
Download Festival to a 4000+ audience of festival-goers in June, and a sold-out
album release show at Boston Music Rooms in London.
Following the
departure of long-standing vocalist Sam Stolliday in early 2020, the band unexpectedly
found themselves in unknown territory. Now nearly 2 years on they are back with
brand new music, a signing to respected German alternative/metal label Arising
Empire, and the introduction of new vocalist Oli Duncanson, ready to welcome a
brand new era of City with the release of their sophomore album 'COMA' [October
2021], following a slew of single releases, many surpassing 100k Youtube views
and gaining Spotify, Deezer and Amazon editorial playlisting, with 'Violent', reaching #1 in iTunes Metal Chart,
the title track 'COMA' featuring on Triple J Radio, and multiple singles being
played on Alex Baker’s Fresh Blood show as well as receiving regular
playlisting on Kerrang! Radio's 'K Nights' show.
-------------------------------
There is a palpable
sense of loss that ties together the band’s sophomore offering ‘COMA’, which tackles
the passing of loved ones, relationships, even personal sovereignty and
self-control head-on.
"We wanted this record to symbolise hope. A beacon of
positivity through adversity and proof that even in your lowest moments, things
can and will get better if we support each other. We couldn’t be more excited
for people to experience the journey that is COMA, with us. We hope listeners
are able to take something positive away from it, in which ever way they
need."

“Oli Duncanson's
voice is absolutely sensational” - Alex Baker, Fresh Blood, Kerrang! Radio
“This London quintet
have got a knack for writing satisfying choruses and bright guitar lines. The
convincing collection of songs is about as anthemic as metalcore gets” – ‘COMA’
album review, Metal Hammer (7)
“Digging deep and
emerging from a time of great personal turmoil, this London five-piece have
spliced together a debut album [LOW] full of metalcore at its most infectious”
- Rock Sound
“...a thunderously
assured album dealing with loss and mental health that practices what it
preaches on the subject of self-empowerment… LOW Punches and soars in all the
right places” - Kerrang KKKK
