We Are The City are three young Canadians with boundless energy. This is channelled into their music, touring and various creative projects. For almost 10 years, since meeting in high school, they play together. Over time, they honed their sound, carving their own space within the contemporary indie genre. On top of this they work as directors, script writers and film producers, creating their own music videos and even their own film "Violent". For some, this would be too much, but these three simply can't stop. On their upcoming album "Violent", We Are The City explore wild and exciting soundscapes. Their innovative sound scales sonic peaks, and descends into canyons before rising back up. "Violent" will be released in Europe on March 23rd, 2015, on Sinnbus.
In "King David" We Are The City question values that you grew up and were brought up with. The track refers in an ironic side note to the constant, juvenile feeling to be selfish or self-centred and wishing you weren't.
