Cities and Skylines are a five piece band from Glasgow who have been away for a little while, with various bad breaks and line up changes but are now back and making up for lost time. The band were quickly signed up by Ignite Records UK, a small independent label, whilst cutting their teeth on the Glasgow circuit with some introductory gigs of their new material and fresh line up.

The bands sound comprises melodic "vocals and heavy guitars, done with every bit as much precision and power as their contemporaries Biffy Clyro or Twin Atlantic," blending an alternative rock sound with pop hooks that's sure to win over fans of both genres.

In the past they have supported various bands such as Think:Fire, Yashin and Dividing the Line. The group recorded their first EP with Romesh Dodangoda(Lostprohets, Funeral for a Friend, Kids in Glasshouses, Twin Atlantic, The Blackout) @ Longwave Studios, Cardiff.

Their current single, "Holes in the Snow," produced by Bruce Rintoul (Twin Atlantic, The Ting Tings), is now available through iTunes Worldwide released through Ignite Records UK.

The band is currently hard at work on their forthcoming EP, set for release in October 2011. The band have already been selected for GoNorth Festival , as well as Wizard Festival, tipped as "ones to watch" on the festival circuit this year.
