Stricken City
Our final act this month, Stricken City, has drawn influences from The Slits, Life Without Buildings and Young Marble Giants. The band’s new wave, spiky, jangling pop found them being asked to play both at London’s TDK festival and Vice Magazine’s Tales Of The Jackalope in 2007. It’s also earned them support slots with Mystery Jets, Friendly Fires and Love Is All.
In 2008, Stricken City released their debut AA side on limited 7’ vinyl via the Adventures Close To Home label. Their next release, ‘Lost In Art’ is out on November 10th on Flowers Records. The band have were a highlight of both The Camden Crawl and The Great Escape festival.
