City and The Sea

Artist Information

Biography

City and The Sea release their new EP "Action Figures" in February 2013.

The first single "Strange Feeling" has already garnered attention for it's riff-heavy, catchy sound.

The band's profile has been rising and fans are catching on to their hooky tunes and rocking stage show. These guys don't fool around in the rock 'n' roll department. Their sound has been compared to the Foo Fighters, Jimmy Eat World and Smashing Pumpkins.

Live, loud, melodic and fiercer than ever, City and The Sea are sporting a new lineup, new songs and a fresh attitude.

After tours in Canada and Europe, and three releases, for all intents and purposes, City and The Sea is a brand new band.

The live show has never been tighter or more engaging, from the howl of Jon Daly's lead guitar to the soulful lead vocals of Nick Cino. Dave Marini is the band's heart on the bass, and new addition Joe Piccolo has given the band new life behind the skins. The new songs tackle themes of change, escape, identity, and aliens. Lots of aliens.

Nick Cino - Lead Vocals
