A study in contradictions ; Lush instrumentals leading to heavy syncopated grooves, tension filled waves of dissonance give way to heart warming harmonies, the straight ahead pulse of rock counteracted with lyrics filled with surreal imagery.
Based out of Calgary, Alberta "This City Defects" began as early as 2007 when creator and band leader Adam Lamb started constructing epic arrangements out of mathy riffs and atmospheric soundscapes. With the help of Matt Doherty (Drums), these early song constructions became the basis for some of the bands earliest demos.Aaron Scholpp (bass) were added in 2008 to complete the line up and thus "This City Defects" was born.
The groups influences are far ranging, Artists such as Brainiac,John Zorn,Hella,Tera Melos,Sonny Sharrock,The Blood Brothers,,Extra Life just to name a few.Their energetic live performances confirm the groups sense of reckless abandonment, but you'd be hard pressed to find the same amount of ambitious song writing from your favorite local punk band. This City Defects doesn't attempt to fit into any particular genre, but feels right at home in any sort of musical situation.
