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. Deliberately evoking familiar patterns of hardcore and punk rock tradition, and spitting it out with a conscious, yet subtle control of the unconventional and the dissonant, Rapid Cities accepts the challenge to take the step forward. The resulting art of the band’s debut, Machinery Saints, observes what is pleasurable about today’s living, as well as what is mundane. Rapid Cities are both a breath of fresh air as well as an assurance that truly “progressive,” yet enjoyable, music is still possible.
