City and Colour, the recording alias for Dallas Green (former guitarist and vocalist of the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire) released his third studio album in June titled "Little Hell." Despite serving in a hardcore band, his music is described as acoustic music, folk, and alternative country. In 2005 Green began releasing songs on the internet for fans to download which eventually became the first City and Colour album "Sometimes. In 2008 Dallas released his second full length LP "Bring Me your Love", featuring a variety of instruments including a harmonica, banjo, drums, and lap steel promoting its folk [...]
Watch Canadian rockers City and Colour's latest single "Weightless", from their latest release, Little Hell , performed in a studio setting with various angles and lighting. "With the 'Weightless' video it was all about using light in different ways," says frontman Dallas Green. "Light can be very sexy if you let it run wild and free."
El misterio es uno de los mejores amigos de la música. Si bien es cierto que a los fans y allegados a este arte nos encanta saber todos los detalles detrás de un tema, una producción o un artista; también es cierto que no hay nada peor que enterarse que tu canción favorita fue compuesta para el perro del cantante o que tu álbum preferido no habla de lo que tu creías que hablaba. Hace un par de años este misterio era parte fundamental en la música de Marissa Nadler , quien nos [...]
Dallas Green is City and Colour , and as far as I'm concerned, Dallas Green is a goddamn genius. The man creates some of the most moving acoustic folk music I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. His recently released album "Little Hell" is sitting high up on my list of favorite records of the year, and will likely hold out strong until the end. I found this incredible remix from Sydney-based producer The Gripp , and was pretty shocked when I did. I wouldn't think that the album's first single would translate into a low-key disco stormer, [...]
City and Colour at Littlefield (07/14/11) Photo : Leanne Benson Stream : City and Colour - "Northern Wind" Dallas Green , aka City and Colour , played a private acoustic show at Littlefield on July 14 in preparation for his upcoming massive world tour. Green is about to hit the road in support of his new album, Little Hell , which came out last month on Vagrant Records. City and [...]
I might as well just keep the trend going and round out the week with yet another artist I gave no attention to back when it was relevant. Though this time it wasn't out of complete ignorance. I've always held a kind of love/hate relationship with City And Colour , although it's probably more accurate to say it's more of a lukewarm/hate one. I could never, ever get behind Dallas Green's "proper" band Alexisonfire, which I realize probably shouldn't have tainted my opinion of his solo work as much as it did, but it happened anyway. And even if [...]
Just when we thought we couldn't love this song better, Dallas Green proves us wrong..... whoa!
I was first introduced to city and colour by a random blonde girl on the tube and I must say, since then, I've been hooked. Called City and Colour because of the singer's real name, Dallas Green (a city and a colour) those who know Dallas Green from the band Alexisonfire, the sounds he presents in his solo albums will come as a surprise. On April 5th, the first single from his third album Little Hell , Fragile Bird, was released to the radio and reached #1 on the Canadian rock/alternative chart. Earlier this [...]
City And Colour - 'Fragile Bird' Dallas Green peforms in a courtyard for Fly TV, a couple of tracks off his new album, Little Hell . Stream the entire album here.
Dallas Green's world is warm and stunningly personal.
At first, great as Sometimes was, it was hard to shake off Dallas Green's musical standing as "that dude who's not the shouty one in Alexisonfire", but with each release, City and Colour has graduated from existing as a more understated solo project, to thriving as a well rounded second project. Having said that, Green has brought a strong and consistent personality to each of the albums – he is an emotional rollercoaster that prefers to travel in a straight line rather than revelling in a multitude of corkscrew loops and vertical drops – and with [...]
City and Colour - Fragile Bird City and Colour is the recording moniker of Dallas Green (a city and a color), who is also the guitarist and vocalist for the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. But over the past few years, Green has made a name for himself in his strong song-writing skills and quiet acoustic folk songs . City and Colour's third studio album, Little Hell , was released on June 7, and will both please City and Colour's old fans and garner new ones. While City and Colour is known for melodic folk, [...]
City And Colour Little Hell Vagrant Records [2011] Fire Note Says: City And Colour release a solid third LP that plays like a fitting soundtrack to life. Album Review: Little Hell is the third long player from City And Colour and I still have a hard time believing that these smooth flowing indie grooves come from Dallas Green, which is better know as the [...]
Hello all! I'm back in the great state of Texas and thus back in the blogging world. After arriving back in Houston in the wee hours of the morning then arriving back at work just a few short hours later I'll try not to let this post reek too much of post-vay-cay-sleep-deprived-ra mblishness... no guarantees though. [...]
City and Colour is a side project of AlexisonFire guitarist, Dallas Green. His new album Little Hell is a big departure from Alexonfire's post-hardcore and punk sound. Little Hell is Green flexing his singer songwriter muscle and throwing plenty of influences in along the way. There are traces of Americana, folk and a country western hidden throughout the tracks that bring acts like Ray LaMontagne or Dawes to mind. The thing I was questioning with this album is whether City and Colour would have a voice of its own or if it would blend obscurely into [...]

Oh, Dallas Green. If every rose has it's thorns, then Alexisonfire are the thorns and Dallas Green is the rose head. Who knew he, by any other name, would smell as sweet. Even sweeter actually. And that name is City & Color. Alright, hold up. It is a little unfair to yap about Alexisonfire when talking about City & Color, especially since it's Dallas Green's third solo album. I wish I was coming into this album as tabula rasa, but hey, I live in Canada, I've watched MuchMusic as a teenager. I am well aware of City & [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Iron and Wine, John Legend "City and Colour - Fragile Bird" What's so good? There's something to be said for a truly distinctive voice. Dallas Green, a Canadian singer-songwriter otherwise known as City and Colour, undoubtedly has one. Rich and clear, he's not shy with the vibrato on his third album Little Hell , which was released this Tuesday. What's interesting is the way in which Green seems to bend [...]
City and Colour – Little Hell Released: June 7, 2011 Label: Dine Alone Records Recorded to tape in a church sans-computers and fancy recording booths is Dallas Green 's third studio album "Little Hell", a beautiful record that changes up Green's pure man-and-guitar sound, yet still maintains the unique City and Colour feel that listeners have grown to love. Since his [...]
With the release of City and Colour's new album, Little Hell, came the albums release party held at the brand new Sugar Beach location. Being my first time to Sugar Beach and my first time seeing The Edge's half inside-half outside stage it made for an interesting setting to hear Dallas's new and old material. Since Dallas Green's early days in Alexisonfire it has been interesting watching him go from the guitarist of the 'post-hardcore' band into a solo acoustic artist gaining more and more attention in the mainstream music world. He [...]
