Sick City

Where Do We Go From Here?

SICK CITY brings melody, maturity, and energy.

Hailing from the Prairie tundra smack in the middle of Canada (Winnipeg, Manitoba) this five piece has already proven that it can and will turn heads in the year to come. Comprised of members of many local bands SICK CITY tears your heart and mind apart with its shredding guitars, solid and unique drums, intense and memorable melodies and mature song writing.

Sick City formed in early 2005 with Josh Youngson (vocals), Joel Neufeld (drums), Dorian Paszkowski (guitar), Dave Grabowski (guitar) and T.J Stevenson (bass). Neufeld, who is the brother of Comeback Kid front-man Andrew Neufeld, secured the band their first show ever playing the CD release show for Comeback Kid’s “Wake The Dead.” Although still a young band, Sick City has played on Taste of Chaos and Warped Tour, headlined a WCMA showcase, and just returned home from a successful tour with It Dies Today (Trustkill Records), and headliners Papa Roach.

SICK CITY dedicated the fall of 2005 to record its first release, a 5 song EP that displays everything this band is capable of and leaves you wanting more. From the driving and unforgettable riffs of “In the Millions” to the emotional story of “Ace High and the Crowns” this EP takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of life and love. Songs like the sing a-longable “Smiles & Cries” and “XX & XY” are bound to end up in your head for the rest of the day. SICK CITY’S appeal is undeniable.

In 2007, Sick City signed to Smallman Records for Canada and Trustkill Records internationally for the release of their upcoming fill length album. The band will head to the Tree Sound Studio in Atlanta, GA this March with producers Kenneth Mount & Zach Odom (Cartel, Jimmy Eat World) to record the album scheduled to be released this summer.

After touring North America countless times on this release, vocalist Josh Youngson left the band. Sick City is currently searching for a new frontman.
