Last year Toledo-based rock powerhouse Citizen released their fourth full-length Life In Your Glass World via Run For Cover Records. The record pushed them into new sonic territory and earned praise from fans and critics alike, marking another giant step forward for the always adventurous band. Today Citizen has returned, offering the first taste of where they’re heading next with the hyper-catchy new single “Bash Out.”

Citizen has a well-earned reputation for reinvention, and “Bash Out” finds the band diving headfirst into the kind of widescreen indie pop hinted at on Life In Your Glass World. The uptempo track bursts from the speakers with sharp guitars and a driving beat while vocalist Matt Kerekes belts out some of the catchiest melodies the band has ever had. Throughout their impressive catalog Citizen has already explored impassioned post-hardcore, raw noise rock, anthemic alternative, and much more—always leaving listeners guessing about what’s next, but certain it will be great—and if “Bash Out” is any indication, the band still have plenty of exciting new ground to cover. 

Citizen is heading out on tour next week for a lengthy run of sold-out shows with Turnstile, Ceremony, Ekulu, and Truth Cult. The band will then be heading to the UK for Outbreak Festival and then playing special Fall headlining shows in New York (Sept 20th at Irving Plaza) and Los Angeles (October 7th and 8th at The Regent). See full itinerary below.
