I'm always game for art-pop that drenches in 90s alternative influence, especially with Stricken City vocalist Rebekah Raa. I think her voice alone commands the time-piece and style of my past playlists from when I was younger...definitely striking chords. I dig the huge wave of indie pop bands from the UK, but I dig Stricken City's slower approach to their sound. In early November, Kora Recs will be rollin' out their US debut, Songs About People I Know , with 2 bonus tracks! Check their myspace often for pre-order. [...]

STRICKEN CITY /// WORDS: JOSH JONES/// PHOTOS: DAN WILTON /// Iain Pettifer (guitar), Kit Godfrey (drums), Mike Hyland (bass) and the stunning Rebekah Raa on vocals make up Stricken City . Taking influences from bands like The Slits, Life Without Buildings and Young Marble Giants , their poppy, guitary tunes have led to an increasing and much deserved following. Personally requested by Maximo Park to support them and now a regular fixture on the decent venue circuit, Stricken City are [...]
It's always a pleasant evening when you can attend a free show by a band you've liked but never seen ( Stricken City ) and get introduced to an interesting new band ( Screaming Lights ) in the process. Stricken City's single Tak o Tak was one of my faves of '08, so I was quite chuffed to finally get to see them live. Stricken City come across as a bit of a ramshackle but more rock'n version of Metric, sans electronic beats, combined with the indie ethos of the late '80s and early [...]

Second single de Stricken City sorti le 17 Novembre sur Blue Flowers Records. by KEEPREAL Creative Label - Visual & Musical www.keepreal.org

Talented young things Stricken City release the relentless indie track 'Lost Art' this Monday and it should do really well. Supported with a cool video directed by Sam Crack the song is not only very now, but musically credible. Don't be surprised to hear it - or some looped section of it - on a TV commercial very soon. I can think of a few brands that would kill for this one now that The Ting Tings and Santogold have reached saturation point. 4/5 YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: Neimo [...]

En verano ya os alertamos de la existencia de Stricken City, un grupo de esos que hacen que uno no pierda la esperanza en cuanto al estado actual de la escena musical. De esos que sirven como ejemplo claro de que no todo lo que sale de las Islas Británicas es un gato con disfraz de liebre diseñado...
Check out below the new video from Stricken City for "Lost Art." This song is one of my favorite songs of the past couple months, a real pop gem, and is being released on November 17th in the UK through Blue Flowers Records. The whole video was shot in one take and matches the song pretty well overall.
