ThisCity are five young men who look like they were born to share a stage with one another and who play with an almost telepathic ability. A blur of swinging fringes and speed-skinny legs, live ThisCity are an engaging and explosive force. They’ve quickly established themselves as one of the surest bets in the UK’s thriving underground scene.
With their US counterparts having had a monopoly on the anthemic, life-affirming end of hardcore for some years now, ThisCity are part of a renaissance of UK bands who can’t fully relate to Stateside accents and songs about shopping malls and instead are making the music that best represents their lives.
In their short career, they’ve already done numerous live radio sessions, including sessions for XFM and a Radio 1 session for Huw Stephens who was the first person to play next single ‘We Move’ and invited the band to perform on his Radio 1 Introducing Stage at the Latitude Festival. They alsosupported Rival Schools on their comeback tour, which was a dream come true for the band.
Previously, ThisCity have supported the likes of Biffy Clyro, Future Of The Left, Sparta, CapDown and The Ghost Frequency and been lauded by everyone from Fierce Panda’s Simon Williams to Steve Lamacq to NME to The Guardian.
