City And The Sea: Leave A Light On

photo: Michael Keire

City And The Sea, a Hamilton quartet, was formed after the demise of The Mississipi Kings. Their sound hasn't changed that much. Their Leave A Light On EP is packed to the rafters with soul rock riffs. Hitting hard with their gloves on, they don't draw blood but they are loud enough to catch your attention.

With the exception of Hundred, an ill-advised foray into Adult Oriented Rock, the EP is a calling card for lat night radio jocks who like their music melodic and raw. Delivered with gusto, the Ontario band have found a new lease on life.
