We Are The City are delighted to announce the release of their brilliant new album Above Club, available to buy now on iTunes via Sinnbus.

The single stream premiered exclusively on The Line of Best Fit and you can listen to it now from the band's Soundcloud page or by clicking on the embed below.
Kiss Me, Honey is the second track to be aired from the album, an album that was created during a mammoth recording session that saw the band literally lock themselves in the studio to eat, sleep and write their new material under the watchful gaze of a 24hr livefeed streamed directly from their website. This not only saw the band produce an outstanding album but they even had the time to record an eye-catching video for the single.
Kiss Me, Honey and previous video and single
Keep On Dancing captures the impulsive and experimental approach the band took to recording the new album, combining Cayne McKenzie's floating falsetto vocals, David Menzel’s crashing guitars and Andrew Huculiak's relentless drumming, as the band sonically reach new, unimaginable heights.
The album follows hot on the heels of the international release of their acclaimed sophomore LP, Violent, and its corresponding feature full-length film, which was written by the band, and filmed in Norway by Amazing Factory Productions. The film has garnered critical acclaim during its appearances on the film festival circuit over the past year, receiving a Perspective Canada Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014, screenings at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (world premiere), San Sebastían International Film Festival, Los Cabos Film Festival, as well as winning Best Canadian Film and Best BC Film at Vancouver International Film Festival.
Above Club is out now via Sinnbus and is available to buy on iTunes.
