THE CITIZENS BAND * Grab A Root And Growl * Press Here Records
[Description: cid:E14F38C9-DEBE-4105-BE9D-286C790679BC at hq.pressherepublicity.com]The Citizens Band are releasing their debut album, Grab A Root And Growl (Press Here Records) today. The dazzling musical troupe believe that friends don’t let friends stay home on election day and Grab A Root And Growl, which was produced by Nathan Larson, ex-Shudder to Think, is a collection of 16 songs intended to enthuse and inspire. With vocals from Citizens Karen Elson, Zoe Kravitz, Nina Persson, Angela McClusky, Ian Buchannan, Rain Phoenix and more, the album’s message is anti-apathy and pro-democracy. Since bursting into the New York City nightlife scene, The Citizens Band garnered high praise for their riveting and artful approach to tackling our nation’s most pressing political themes by expertly weaving their message into song. PRESS HERE<http://www.mtvhive.com/2012/06/28/the-citizens-band-stop-watch> to watch Nina Persson perform a portion of the album opener, “I Swung the Election” for MTV. Check out The Citizens Band in New York City on October 24-27th at Abrons Arts Center.
“…a political outlet for otherwise nonpolitical types. The elaborately staged shows take on topics like environmentalism and health care in a setting that resembles a snow globe nightclub. The group’s shows are politically pointed but still offer a glitzy thrill.” - The New York Times
 “At this very moment the laurels of New York City’s avant-garde nightlife rest firmly on the head of The Citizens Band. The 20-plus-member theater troupe carries an emotional and visual jolt. Presented in the style of Weimar Republic cabaret, their performances beg the chilling question: Have we found ourselves again in a political climate where intolerance triumphs over reason?” - Interview Magazine
