Describe your music in 3 words

Beat laden Indietronica

​

Tell us about your new single!

When dystopian dreams meet transcendental grooves, it's time for freaky dancing.

​

What other artists influence your sound?

Too many to list them all, but here’s a few.  The Shangrila's, Massive Attack, Lee Perry, Radiohead, The Smiths, TGTB&TQ, Ride, MBV, Tony Allen, Fluke, Primal Scream, Beastie Boys, Gong and Neu!

​

How did you pick your band name?

‘Cities in Dust’, as a moniker, came about during the post-Brexit period. The band was inspired by The Good, The Bad and The Queen’s lyric: ‘on this stroppy little island with mixed up people’. We felt it captured the dystopian mood of the time, made succinct by the Siouxsie and the Banshees’ song title.

​
