BIO

JOSH NOWLAN
(sings and plays guitar)
ROBBIE MACKEY (plays guitar)
JOEY INGRAM (plays drums)
Frigid and icy, the winter of 2004 gave birth to a band by the name of CITIES. Conceived in a marvelously heated practice
room in Chapel Hill, NC’s GO! Studios - brought up in grimy NC rock clubs like the Cat’s Cradle, Local 506 and Kings
Barcade - the group formed after UNC student, and classically trained musician, Josh Nowlan met a few like-minded music fans
named Robbie Mackey and Jeremy Pashcall.
After arguing over their favorite bands and discussing their appreciation for musical-restraint and macabre indie rock, a just-forfun
project had begun. Drummer Joey Ingram, whom Josh had known since high school, was stationed in nearby Greensboro,
NC, and after his percussion services were enlisted a mere month later, the band’s official lineup was set.
As they began writing, the confluence of Nowlan’s classical training, Mackey’s originality, and Paschall and Ingram’s punk and
hardcore pedigree produced a crisp, bombastic form of indie rock. A steadfast appreciation for the music of their youth found
itself coupled with a conscious decision to turn their sound away from the feverish and aggressive aesthetic they’d grown up on.
Deeply impassioned, without coming off as ham fisted and oafish, the music was epic, yet controlled, insistent, yet decidedly
serene.
Sharing the stage with such acts as Engine Down, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness,
Thunderbirds are Now!, We are Scientists and Unwed Sailor, Cities quickly fine-tuned their brilliant live show and - on the
strength of a meager demo, recorded in two days with the consummate Nick Petersen (Dillinger Escape Plan, Bellafea) -
garnered the attention of powerhouse indie label, Yep Roc Records. After debuting their somber rock to wider audiences at the
CMJ music festival in NYC, Cities entered the swank home-studio of Brian Paulson (Beck, Slint, Superchunk) to record their selftitled
debut Yep Roc full-length in the fall 2005.
The self-titled debut is completed, and will street this April 18th, 2006. The release will come on the heels of the band’s ’06
SXSW appearances (Yep Roc showcase, Fader Magazine party, and the Yep Roc/HARP Magazine/KEXP day party), so be
sure to catch them in Austin if you’re in town.
Look for Cities in 2006, on the road in support of their debut release.
6. Cities in a Welsh post-rock and instrumental electronic band from Swansea, Wales. They have released on EP titled Manning Alaska in 2015.
7. Cities was a post-hardcore band from Palm Coast/Gainesville, Florida, United States.
The band did some demo songs in 2008 and 2009 that had a atmospheric ambient yet hard hitting post-hardcore sound. They had a feature from Brennan Taulbee from Oceana on one of their songs.
Members:
Brian Heffner - Vocals
Jack Cosgrove - Guitar
Jake Valiente - Guitar
Chris Lamb - Bass
Brent Guistwite - Drums
