The City Watch

Described as 'timeless', The City Watch blend their morass of instruments into a sound equal parts folk-rock and indie - songs that reflect the perfectly ordinary and the sublimely extraordinary alike.



"The City Watch join the ranks of that growing local faction of pleasurable indie-pop folk collectives along with Institut Polaire and New Rules For Boats. Much like their local counterparts, The City Watch and their references to distant worlds draw you into a beautiful fantasy free of evil and hardship. Metaphorical descendants of Dylan, this five-piece lulls you into a melodious sense of security through gorgeous sounding rhythms as you hug yourself and sway; eyes closed grinning stupidly within a melodic cocoon of emotional well-being." - SINGLE OF THE WEEK REVIEW (Drum Media, Perth)



"Delivering a fantastic indie-pop set that featured trumpets, percussion, strange keyboards and even a piano accordion over the top of the more standard rhythm section, the five-piece looked as though they were having the fun of a primary school music class, and yet played like established musicians."
