The City Streets, hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada formed in 2005. They play diverse melodic bliss power pop with the spirit of punk rock always shining a light.
A melancholy celebration of people and places remembered fondly by a hard drinking band more at home on the road than in their native Alberta, Concentrated Living by Edmonton’s City Streets is like suddenly remembering that today is the birthday of someone you fell in love with a long time ago. Like anthems for lonely people, the album chronicles faraway and fleeting love, not just for a person but for an imagined life that continues to slip away. Playing a sort of damaged folk—one tinged with punk’s defiance—the City Streets describe a defeated generation that has lost faith in religion, politics, and tradition, and doesn’t know what it can grasp onto. Concentrated Living is the perfect album for any morning that follows a night where you had whiskey and cigarettes for dinner and a midnight snack.
