The Citizens are a band for the modern times. A band formed out of a love for music, united in intent to deliver a new sound to a sprawling army of converts. Revolution is only a few steps away. Well established in the Bristol/Bath and Swindon area the band has headlined regular gigs across this region for the past 3 years and have enjoyed radio and television airplay. The Citizens produce guitar and keyboard driven rock with powerful vocals, questioning the monotonous patterns of life and relationships. Often compared to The Stone Roses, Kasabian and Oasis, the band generate anthemic music in an alternative seedy groove. www.toxicpete.co.uk The citizens have taken time to get the mixes just right and it's paid off coz 'Drinking Games' is a crackin' little EP that showcases The Citizens' work and style to great effect - (8-10) www.myspace.com/livingatheist It has that bottled up energy thing going on that you just know explodes onstage - (8-10)
