Kelowna, BC’s We Are The City is a quirky group of young men playing often-times moody indie-pop. The band consists of Cayne McKenzie on vocals/keyboards, David Menzel on guitar, and Andy Huculiak on drums.
Not feeling the need to enlist a bassist, the band still manages to pull together a full sound that can be as melancholic as Radiohead at one moment, and full of cabaret-style excitement the next. At times, their sound runs the risk of coming off as a little self-indulgent, but just as that thought enters my mind, the band pulls the million directions in which the song is seemingly traveling back to a focused conclusion.
The band’s debut album, In A Quiet World, has only been on record shelves since mid-January 2010, and while the band members certainly sound as though they’re still trying to figure out where they want to go, this critic is very interesting in seeing where they end up.
