THECITYISOURS will release their new album Coma on October 22 through Arising Empire.
“COMA is an honest account of how I was feeling trying to understand why I was spiralling into a void,” expresses TCIO founding member Mikey Page. “I wrote the song as a method of coping and catharsis. It embodies a period of self-loathing where, the love I had, no matter how strong, was not enough to save an important relationship.” Page recounts. “I wanted to produce an honest account, showing that it’s okay to be vulnerable, and to encourage others to speak up and take positive action instead of internalising them and struggling alone.”

Press To MECO – Transmute
This isn’t a newly announced record but its the sad news that Transmute, the highly anticipated new record from Press To MECO will now be released on August 20.
The band said: “With everything going on right now, things are moving way more slowly than we had hoped. To top it off, we’ve heard today that there are further delays on the delivery of the vinyl. We want to have everything in order and to be able to deliver you guys the full package, so we’ve had to push the album back by just a little bit. So here we go. Transmute will now be released on the 20th of August 2021.There will be lots of content on the lead up to the release, and maybe even a show announcement or two. Stay safe, see you soon.”
