THECITYISOURS lace up their boots and take to the mat in their highflying new video for ‘DANGEROUS’. The explosive new single is taken from the band’s sophomore album ‘COMA’ set for release 22nd October 2021, through respected German alternative/metal label, Arising Empire.Fans can pre-save the album via the following link.
“We believe art should be about expression of thoughts, feelings and values however you see fit, without fear of judgement.” expresses TCIO founding member Mikey Page. “Dangerous was born through this mentality. Combining all of the ideas we had whilst removing the handbrake of ‘what if?’ We wanted to create something that empowered the ideology of being true to yourself no matter what. I think this track/video reflects the excitement and freedom we felt through embracing the process.”
Speaking on concept for their latest music video, page expresses “We were keen to try something new with the visuals to truly embrace this ethos, so what better way than to throw stereotypes to the wind and create an independent wrestling promotion as a vessel to carry this message…” adding “You’re perfect just the way you are, so don’t let anybody tell you otherwise”
There is a palpable sense of loss that ties together the band’s sophomore offering. TCIO tackles the passing of loved ones, relationships, even personal sovereignty and self-control head-on. However, juxtaposed against their vibrant and fresh feeling, pop-centric arrangements, expertly interwoven with infectious hooks and crushing riffs; ‘COMA’ breathes a perfect balance, radiating an underlying sense of positivity and resilience through an otherwise dark concept.
‘COMA’ was recorded, engineered and mixed by long-time collaborator Oz Craggs (Feed The Rhino, NECK DEEP, Mallory Knox) at Hidden Track Studios and mastered by Ermin Hamidovic (Architects, Periphery, Northlane) at Systematic Productions.
