Did you know the flag of San Francisco features a phoenix rising out of gold flames? Interestingly, the design was chosen several years before the 1906 earthquake and fire that leveled most of the city.
Similarly, San Francisco band Strange Cities arose from the ashes of several Bay Area bands: In Letter Form, Murder of Lilies, and I Am Animal. Their new sound falls somewhere between post-punk and indie dance rock, bringing you nostalgia, bittersweet sparkle sighs, broken laughter, whiskey tears, and angry nights. Their latest track “Holoscene” is built around driving drums, angular guitars, and melancholic, anthemic vocals.
