City Surrender are a rather nice new band from London. They’re bringing nothing new to the party but they’re attending it and making it a better place. The “Light and Shadows EP” is three tracks of good fun grunge rock. They list their influences as “Pixies, Nirvana, The Beatles and Pink Floyd”. Opening track “Doberman” can also add King Adora to that mix. It has more than a hint of their glam-punk stomp. “Fall Like Lovers” borrows from the You Me at Six songbook and “Honey, I’m tired of laughing about it”, the final track on the EP demonstrates just what they do best, managing to sound like Radiohead, Manic Street Preachers and Biffy Clyro. All in the same song. It’s a lovely. A nice start. One to watch.

The “Light and Shadows EP” is released on 10th April, catch them on tour in April and May
