City of Ships

After two years away from the studio, Richmond’s City of Ships have followed up the much acclaimed Look What God Did To Us with Minor World, the Richmond band’s new LP due on July 19th via Translation Loss & Sound Study Recordings. With shades of bands like Quicksand, Trail of Dead, Isis, Junius, Caspian, and some of the quieter moments in Rosetta‘s catalog, the band blends melodicism and clean vocals with big riffs to mold somber songs that pay homage to a hardcore past. Check out the third track from the LP, “Low Countries”, which makes its debut in this post.

City of Ships are currently touring Europe with Rosetta. The band has no US dates on their sked as of yet. We’ll keep you up to date if that changes. Rosetta however, WILL head back to the NYC area to play a pair of shows at Acheron on August 5th and ABC No Rio on August 6th with Braveyoung. Check out all dates the song stream and some video below.
