Eclectic two track single out now
London’s WE KEEP THE CITY RUNNING have released their debut – a two track single – Ashes & Relics.
Ashes represents the beginning for WKTCR – a statement of intent. Pounding drums, a tremolo attack of guitars and a call and response chorus.
Relics deals with the themes of loss, the hopefulness of youth and and the pressure of modern society. The initial optimism provided by a world of plenty is replaced by the grief of a punishing reality. In the end, we’re all relics of our own past, and the final refrain questions: Could have done anything to change it?
These two songs are the foundations for a more ambitious, more expansive project. This is where it begins, this is WE KEEP THE CITY RUNNING.
At the core of WE KEEP THE CITY RUNNING is a five-piece band; Christopher Wolf (vocals, guitar), JJ Saddington (guitar, programming), Buddy Bowen (bass, vocals), Alice Evans (violin, keys, glockenspiel) and Tim Storey (drums).
Ashes & Relics is available to purchase HERE via BandCamp.
