City and Colour Wiki

City and Colour Myspace

Alright, so I literally just learned about this today. Has anyone here heard of a band called Alexisonfire? I've heard of it, never listened to a song of theirs. But, this "band" is called City and Colour, and is the solo side project of the lead singer and guitarist of Alexisonfire, Dallas Green. The name corresponds to his name (City to Dallas, Colour to Green). Furthermore, it is an acoustic "group," where he is accompanied by varying musicians every once in a while.

To avoid babbling on about different things, I just have to say that after I started listening to his singing... I pretty much fell in love with it. This is some good music right here, and I haven't had a chance to listen to THAT much, but it is really well done. I believe he has a really good voice, and if you like acoustic music you should hopefully love this.

Here are a few youtube links to some songs:

The Girl

Waiting...

Sometimes (I Wish)

"Hello, I'm in Delaware"


Check those out and other songs if you like what you hear. Come back and post what you think!

I know they are some hardcore band (or "post-hardcore" by wikipedia) but this guy is pretty good!

dickless

that's a pretty good way to describe this kind of music.

you really hit the nail on the head

just a bunch of gay sloppy seconds venereal dickburn pussy shit. it isn't really the feather in my hat so to speak, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

I like Alexisonfire much better than just Dallas Green on his own. While I understand and appreciate the influence of Canadian acoustic rock on his work, including things like recording tracks with Gord Downie, I find that the songwriting falls short and ends up sounding like whiney, whitewashed emo.

I like his work in Alexisonfire so much more because he has a really soft voice which I find adds a great contrast and harmony to the rough-and-tumble phase-out sort of songs that they have (We Are the Sound comes to mind).

man fuck this band in canada people are like

"MAN DALLAS GREEN SI ONE OF THE BEST CANADIAN MUSICIANS BECAUSE OF CITY AND COLOUR OMG *explodes"

panda doesn't really care about sun kil moon. good job earl chip.

heh *parodies someone, does not know what hes talking about*

if u think sun kil moon is sappy acoustic tho wtf.

I'm no musical genius like michael angelo batio but personally I find anything without double bass drums pretty sappy

Dallas Green is fantastic, but I can't stand Alexisonfire. Didn't know he was in City And Colour. Will listen!

those were two separate things, friend. you can call the first one a real slammer, but the other was more of an example of how you can make some pusy shit without having it blow, targetted at no one in particular. sure I could have used any number of songs for the same effect. it was some time ago, but if I remember correctly, that particular song was sitting right atop my playlist that morn. now I know I should have double posted, Lordy knows I usually do, but I reckon I was just feeling lazy that day.
