We put meat on the bones of the "Citizens’ Action" concept.

The WATC guys have been touring in support of their great new album ‘Above Club’. We Are The City has steadily gained the reputation of being Canada’s consistently exciting, yet markedly unpredictable, cult-bands.

Described by Exclaim! as a band “that seem destined to go places quickly,” Toronto’s HIGHS have been rapidly building momentum with their unique approach to pop music.
