Bio

City of Dis is a 4-piece rock band from Boston, MA. With a focus on sweet harmony, complex rhythm, and crushing dissonance, City of Dis is creating a new progressive sound. Heavily rooted in grunge, metal, and progressive rock, the band creates music that can be harsh, yet still intensely beautiful.

The band began forming in 2012, when guitarist/vocalist Bryan Hassell and drummer James Cooper left their old band in search of a new musical direction.  As they’d been performing together for years, writing songs together came to them easily. However, it wasn’t until 2013, when guitarist Kevin Ronan joined, that things really started to take shape. They trio went on rehearsing and writing as they searched for and auditioned bassists, until they came across Juan Pablo Blanco that November. With the lineup complete, the band would spend the next year developing material, and even recording demo tracks. Then, in November 2014, they finally performed their first show. From there, they maintained their live presence throughout the greater Boston area, playing at venues like Hard Rock, Middle East Downstairs, and Obrien’s. In February 2016 the band decided to record their debut EP A Flawed Design. Released this June, the self-produced record is a testament to where the band is at with their sound right now.
