Our City Skyline, are a band, who really look deep inside their hearts, before composing a new song.
Their new EP will be released very soon.
So here a little interview, to read about it and the band.
PS: i really recommend this band, since they are one of ten my favorite bands, i know more then 5000 bands by the way...
So here we go, finally meet Our City Skyline!
Who are your and where are you from?
I'm Esai of Our City Skyline. I play guitar from Idaho
What brought you to start this band?
What brought you to start this band?
Well we had another band we had a bit of success with, but we wanted to cut ties with it so we could write and play what we wanted to.
You guys have a carrying, emotive and yet positive sound, explain us, what moved you guys to this?
we all love positive music, our music helps us through rough times. We just like to be able to show that there is another side.
Also explain how you call your sound yourselves, genre and what you sound like.
Well I guess you could say Progressive Hardcore or Progressive Metalcore. We have a ton other elements though. We.don't like to pigeon hole ourselves.
You guys are currently working on your next release, an EP, could you tell us about it?
Well its easily the best thing we have done. It felt like as a band we had hit our stride. In the studio with Ryan from Rain City Audio just was a great time. And he pushed really hard to get this the way it is. Also we are getting it mixed by Ryan Morgan, the guitar player of Misery Signals.
How many songs will be included, will it be available as physical copy, maybe you want to unveil us the name of it too? The EP has 7 songs. It will be released digitally, on CD, and we are looking into pressing vinyl and then the name we will announce soon!
What are your lyrical themes on the EP and in general?
Thats more of a question for our vocalist. He is the one who handles that stuff!
What are your personal influences?

What are your personal influences?
Personally I am influenced by a lot. Just everything that goes on in my life. Personally bands are stuff like Poison The Well, Crossbearer, Moving Mountains, and Oceana.
Also are there some bands that influence your sound?
Our sound is very influenced by bands like Misery Signals, Oceana, and Poison the Well.
A question beside this all, i currently saw a live set of a hardcore band, whose members kicked the crowd before the stage in their faces. What do you think about it? Very hardcore isn't it (ironic)?
It's one thing to try to get the crowd going, but thats just disrespectful to people who have literally paid to see you.
What do you guys think about scene and stereotype thinking within the youth of today, isn't it annoying that people get judged by their look and also if they listen to bands that look different?
People should be able to listen to what they want. And as long as they go to shows and support everyone should be accepted. I mean not every persons first Hardcore band they got into was Terror or Madball, so all the older kids need to remember where they came from (don't pretend you never had Atreyu merch) and accept the younger kids so we can keep the scene going

What are your personal favorite bands?
Personally Poison The Well, Underoath, Misery Signals, Oceana and many others. But those are always there.
Do you guys prefer a special lifestyle? Also what do you think about all this peer pressure?
None of us really live a specific lifestyle. To us, if you're a good person, then you're a good person.
What was your favorite concert, and which bands where the best you shared the stage with?
That would easily be Thursday. It was a dream come true to play with Thursday. That band got me into music.
If you could plan a tour yourselves, which bands would be with you guys?
It would be Poison The Well, Misery Signals, and a Beloved reunion
What things are currently in the works beside the EP? Any gigs or tours planned? Maybe some merch?
We are going to be working on some tours. And merch is designed and going to be printed soon!
Anything left to say (to friends, fans or families)?
