The New Cities's Top Song: Dead End Countdown Buy Album

Billboard

"Of all the bands we've seen thus far, this one has the most up-and-coming commercial potential. They're catchy new wave synth punk with just enough pop. The entire band exuded tremendous energy right from the get-go, which seemed to fill the entire space. What made this band's energy seem bigger was that they seemed to be having the time of their lives on stage (loved the keyboardist's acrobatics). They were all over the place and loving it."

-Emer Schlosser, Inside E Canada

BIO:

Blending the timeless tastiness of classic synth-pop to the intensity and dynamics of modern punk and the irrefutable rump mobilization of the recent dance-rock insurgence, the New Cities are primed to bring their own form of urban renewal to the Canadian pop-music scene and beyond as their first single, â€œDead End, Countdown,â€ hits radio in February, with the full album set to hit in May.

The band says â€œIt took three years but everything is falling into place,â€ talking about the New Citiesâ€™ steady rise through the ranks, of courseâ€”the Quebec bandâ€™s initial, independent forays into recording, releasing and touring to test the waters, through their serendipitous hook-up with producer and manager Greig Nori, their baptism of fire in Toronto, their signing to the Sony label and the ever more high-profile gigs theyâ€™ve snagged even before their first single hits the radio waves.
