Inspired by the pop classicism of Big Star and Carole King, the virtuosity of Todd Rundgren and Steeley Dan, and the glitter of T-Rex and Elton John, Music City make pop music that hits with sharp hooks and a big heart.
They’re releasing their long-awaited debut album on Sheffield’s own Redundant Span Records. Full of chiming guitars, stacked harmonies and timeless hooks, the album lands somewhere between heart-on-sleeve powerpop and scrappy rock’n’roll.
With tours alongside Sheer Mag, Parquet Courts and The Lemon Twigs under their belts, their live credentials are top notch - it’s going to be a good one.
