Singled Out: City Of The Weak's Censor This

City of the Weak's Stef w/ an F tells us about their song "Censor This" from their upcoming 2017 album which is being recorded at Metro 37 Studios in Detroit with producer Craig Owens (formerly of Chiodos, DRUG) and engineer is Jordan DiSorbo (formerly of Before Their Eyes). Here is the story:

We had been working on our new album for about 9 months, and we were really frustrated because it wasn't exactly turning out how we wanted. We were just confused and sick of being told what to do by so many people. We were tired of trying to fit a mold that we didn't belong in. We were annoyed with people trying to squash who we were as individuals and as artists. One day, we literally just said "f*** it." Let's just do what we want to do. F*** everyone else. We started this band because we wanted to have a voice that mattered. We wanted to be able to speak to people from the heart, and empower them to live their lives how they want. So we decided to practice what we preach, and we spoke from the heart. A couple days later, we had a whole song completely written. We had never been more excited about a song, and it felt great. "Censor This" was born.

We took it in the studio to record, and Craig Owens helped us take it from 8 to 10. He guided us in making the heavy parts hit harder, and encouraged the unapologetic lyrics to be even sassier. Once we recorded everything and played back the raw track, we all knew we had to release "Censor This" as the first single. This song represents everything we stand behind and everything we strive for as a band.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself right here!
