“…singer/guitarist, Brian Knab, has a true gift for turning a phrase until it corkscrews your heart…” - The Onion A/V Club
“…There’s never been a better time to get into local music, and The Still City is definitely running with the cream of the crop.”
“…in the case of The Still City, the immediate need for their new E.P. came about after 15 seconds of hearing “Pretty Little Words,” a track so drowning in hooks and passionate desperation, I had to have Brian Knab (vocals/guitar) hand deliver a copy of These Songs Are Walls…” -Kaffeine Buzz
“…a Weakerthans-meets-the-North-Atlantic art-rock retrogression that is both daringly immature and fully admirable…” -The Westword
The Still City began in a basement apartment that smelled constantly of Ramen noodles and mold. With a duct taped Epiphone Les Paul, an electric drum set constructed circa 1989, and two sets of headphones, we played to the cart pushers who wandered our neighborhood, the nympho who lived above us, and the large quantities of ants that swarmed in the corners of our rooms.
Before that there was the small town of Monument, Colorado. There was the shitty high school where we met. There was a collective failing out of college, a random telephone call and the coincidences that landed us in that basement apartment.
Since, we’ve moved our operations into a tool shed, and have fallen for the dingy clubs of Denver.
We’re going to tour. We’re going to play a lot more shows in this city. You should come.
