CITY OF SHIPS – Live Free or Don’t Tour 12″
“Amidst the ocean of droney, post-rock, post-hardcore clones, there are only a couple bands that catch my attention. It’s a hard genre to accomplish that because the songs tend to bleed together, feedback overshadows the details, and I’m usually exhausted by the time I get through an album. City of Ships had me hooked from the beginning to the end of their vinyl-only release. The band crushes, no question about it. But, they aren’t just here to be the loudest, or the slowest, band; each song has its own personality. Some consist of eerie instrumental passages, that lead to more hardcore dirges, while other come across like a heavier Quicksand, which is never a bad thing. The vocals are pretty varied but always fit the songs. Fans of Jesu, Cult of Luna, and Isis should definitely invest their time and money in this release.” – Evan Katz / RAZORCAKE # 49
