gmoney Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 http://citizentheband.net/ New LP coming soon - probably. Shitty Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodigitaljazz Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I heard a new song from this record the first time they played it at the Sub-T in Chicago a few weeks ago. The heaviest thing I have ever heard, so be prepared for that. I wasn't sure if it was new or not since I've only heard Youth, but unless any other songs feature a huge, chugging breakdown followed by the vocalist just screaming the word "Burn," it's new.

Cats Are Cool Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yea I was wondering what happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yea I was wondering what happened The last thing I saw was (I think) Rambo saying that the bands management contacted them about the thread and its inaccuracies. Maybe they asked him to kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Are Cool Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Either way i'm still stoked for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle_ftl Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 ...I should probably purchase a copy of Youth, lol. I am pretty hyped for this release. Citizen is becoming a band I really enjoy, it took me a while to get into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izpoodave Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 http://synergyartistmgmt.com/wp-content/uploads/citizen/splash/ "USE HEADPHONES" 6/23/15 Edit: Looks like they took it down. The page had the picture of the eyes with the words "USE HEADPHONES" on the top and 6.25.15 on the bottom. A short sound clip played labeled "CizInterlude2.mp3" in the source.

alogical Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 still not sure how I feel about them. Liked a couple songs from Youth, not enough to buy it. We will see how this sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Why didn't management just address inaccuracies instead of censoring a thread? Fuck that shit. This is a music discussion board, add to the discussion don't fucking kill it. If that is a true story it leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. tokimedo, GradedOnACurve, RadDonut and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it also said they were making their official announcement soon, so probably just didn't want the cat out of the bag already.

It was speculation at most based on other sources. They could've just said "no comment" until they were ready to make the official announcement. Apple does it all the time..

runforcover Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 This. It's not like people were leaking anything. It was speculation at most based on other sources. They could've just said "no comment" until they were ready to make the official announcement. Apple does it all the time.. "It's not like people were leaking anything." 100% incorrect. And yeah, a small independent record label and Apple are very comparable organizations, you have a point there. dickcritter and travis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, a small independent record label and Apple are very comparable organizations, you have a point there. I meant actual audio. I didn't think the cover art was that big a deal, but I apologize if that (or any of my comments) caused any harm. I have no idea where the one that was posted came from, but I just figured it would only make the hype larger. It worked on me! And we love and support your company, Jeff! I, for one, am looking forward to the official announcement and the new album. Also- I'll be in touch about possibly getting new tracks to air for my radio show.

I don't understand why the thread had to get killed. It was speculation about a new LP. Nothing libelous or slanderous. In fact it was promotion for the band. Very strange.

Nothing libelous or slanderous. In fact it was promotion for the band. Very strange. What happened here was absolutely not cool. There is an apology owed to some people around here - absolutely overstepped their bounds and are welcome to come here and explain their actions and behavior. While others have stated they'll let it go I won't. Come on in and explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 So Rambo deleted the last thread because "management" asked him to? This is a real question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bands management owes an apology to some people around here - absolutely overstepped their bounds and are welcome to come here and explain their actions and behavior. While others have stated they'll let it go I won't. Come on in and explain. Haha...what? Why are you taking this so seriously and personally? You have zero stake in any of this and don't even understand the situation. You're not, and nor is anyone else here entitled to an apology from anyone. Sorry. To everyone else. Rambo was asked to have it deleted because NONE of the information posted was public. We're not trying to hide anything, we just want the artists to be able to announce their tours and their albums on their own accord. A whole tour for another band that Citizen is apart of was leaked in that thread. There is nothing weird going on behind the scenes here... Grant went into the source code of the management companies website to find information that was not released or meant to be public, and posted it. If you don't understand why we don't want that happening, I don't know what to tell you. travis, prettyylush and dickcritter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't understand why we don't want that happening, I don't know what to tell you. I just want to drop this, but let's be clear about me diving into source code. I saw the band had a cryptic web site up. I, being curious because of there being SO MANY viral campaigns these days, looked at the source code. The one thing hidden there was a site with more hidden stuff, just like a viral campaign would have. It seemed completely normal to me. Especially since the thing hidden was the album title - just like a viral campaign would do. parkinglot and Jetboy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_unproductive Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 create viral campaign site... get pissed when people figure out viral campaign site and look in code... ask mods to delete thread because people here are smarter than you thought and you get mad. maybe you shouldn't have created a site with all that information and this wouldn't have been a problem Klefki and Brock N Roll 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
