PRESS FOR MACHINERY SAINTS
"These New Brunswick kids' debut LP is a fantastic collection of post-hardcore rockers... Articulate and intelligent, Rapid Cities inject powerful musicanship over dissonant guitar work and driving rhythms. Music like this was much more common a decade ago, but these guys manage to give a very modern day feel onto a genre rarely played anymore." - Tom Haugen's Action Sports Blog

"It’s definitely impressive." - Built On a Weak Spot

EXPERT OPINIONS:
"New Brunswick just keeps ‘em coming and Rapid Cities are the next in line. Emotional hardcore is a genre that has become largely forgotten for whatever reason. Luckily we still have bands like Rapid Cities keeping it real... This is really well played stuff that is as intense as it is intelligent." - Sound As Language

"Dissonant guitar tones and a social context lie deep within this New Jersey outfit. Carefully tiptoeing around the conventional trends of music gives this group an objective and perfectly aggressive sound." - Mid-Atlantic College Radio Conference

BIOGRAPHY:

Rapid Cities consists of four guys standing on the outliers of society and of the very subculture to which they do (or do not) belong, giving them the unique position from which to criticize, modify, or completely misunderstand the world around them. You laugh… and so do they. Formed in the blooming season of 2006, Anthony Battiato, John Terry, Cassidy McGrath, and Shaun Seneviratne (who replaced Brian Whitney) have since been writing and playing their own version of life set to rhythm, no matter how jarring it might be. While calling New Brunswick, New Jersey their home, they have played dozens of shows in dozens of states, been on four tours, released two of their own demos, and recorded one full length album, titled Machinery Saints, which is due to be released this spring. Stay tuned for upcoming shows and an album release date…
