Synopsis

Album Description

Self Against City will release their first full-length album, Telling Secrets To Strangers on January 9, 2007. Hailing from Sacramento CA, this pop group created a nice buzz for themselves with their 2004 EP Take It How You Want It. Produced by Steven Haigler (The Pixies, Fuel) Telling Secrets To Strangers is full of what Self Against City does best: melodic indie-pop songs with big guitars and lead singer Jonathan Michael's trip-wire vocals. The band's been schooled in rock n' roll university, i.e., touring a big country in a small van, and every triumph and misbegotten adventure has been converted to song. Beginning the album with their self-ascribed mission statement "Becoming A Monster," peaking with the tuneful-guitar centered "Disappearing Act," and ending with "Back To Our Innocence," a full-circle rocker that serves as the perfect grace note.

CD Reviews

Self Against City's "Telling Secrets To Strangers"-Get Your

Lisa Orlando | New Orleans, LA | 01/10/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Telling Secrets To Strangers" is the debut album from the Sacramento pop rock band Self Against City. Self Against City's first EP was released on Rushmore Records in 2005 titled "Take It How You Want It", but "Telling Secrets To Strangers" will definetly take the band's reputation to a whole new level. For the most part, this album is made up of catchy songs with infectious choruses that will have you singing along and dancing to the music such as "Becoming A Monster", "Ready And Willing", and "Disappearing Act". If you're a fan of happy, upbeat music, this album is a must have. Of course, in addition to those poppy songs we all love, there are a few slower songs such as "Smooth Silver", "Yours Isn't The First", and "Back To Our Innocence". Every component of every song is perfectly composed to make a beautiful album that will impact everyone it reaches in a very positive way. I reccommend picking up this album to anyone who loves a great pop rock album to listen to in the car, at home, at work, or anytime of the day."

Don't keep this CD a secret!
