Citizen have been impressing for close to 20 years, with the rock underdogs rising from high school band to headline act.

With five albums under their belt and countless sold-out tours, Citizen’s upcoming album Halcyon Blues marks the next chapter in the group’s evolution.

The record’s first single, ‘Highs and Lows’, is a heroic rock song with duelling guitars and a shimmering bassline.

Catch Citizen performing at The Gov on Wednesday 3 March. Ticketing information is available via destroyalllines.com. Halcyon Blues is out Friday 7 August via Run For Cover/Civilians. Pre-order here.
