About Me

Hi everyone!Our recent release, the "Boats Left Sinking" EP, made a couple of appearances over at the CHUO 89.1 FM Top 30 chart in the past weeks.If you listen to CHUO, you can call this number, 613.562.5967, and request us, and we will be very very grateful and we will think you're really awesome. You can listen to CHUO online right here: http://www.xstream-tv.ca/chuo.ramYour support means a lot to us, everyone, thank you all. COAHS=================================================== =================================================== Built in 2003, City of a Hundred Spires has become as notorious around the Ottawa and Montreal music scenes for the sheer volume of their live sets as for the fragility of the melodies they compose. As swaths of reverb and delay augmented guitars and keys swirl around a muscular rhythm section, noisy cityscapes are constructed and laid to waste, leaving but the barest of melodic themes still standing. Fresh off a tour of eastern Canada (Maritimes included) and with the recent release of their 4-song EP Boats Left Sinking, COAHS is preparing for the summer release of their anticipated first full-length LP Graveyard of Ships. Ambitious, meditative and cathartic, City of a Hundred Spires demands attention.
