Montreal, Canada (2005 – present)

Blending the timeless tastiness of classic synth-pop to the intensity and dynamics of modern punk and the irrefutable rump mobilization of the recent dance-rock insurgence, the New Cities are primed to bring their own form of urban renewal to the Canadian pop-music scene and beyond as their first single, “Dead End Countdown,” hit radio waves in February, with the full album, “Lost In City Lights”, released in May 2009.

The band says “It took three years but everything is falling into place,” talking about the New Cities’ steady rise through the ranks, of course—the Quebec band’s initial, independent forays into recording, releasing and touring to test the waters, through their serendipitous hook-up with producer and manager Greig Nori, their baptism of fire in Toronto, their signing to the Sony label and the ever more high-profile gigs they’ve snagged even before their first single hits the radio waves.

As of October 2009, 2 singles off of “Lost In City Lights” have been released, “Dead End Countdown” and “Leaders of the Misled”. The song “Lost In City Lights” will be featured on the October 12, 2009 episode of the TV show Gossip Girl.
