About Me


Order your copy of singularity today!... 10.00 USD
Formed at the dawn of the new millenium, WRECKAGE OF THE MODERN CITY'S signature kaleidoscopic sound combines complex rhythms, surreal lyrics, progressive modern rock and experimental electronic sounds to create a unique fusion of the best elements of late 20th-century and early 21st-century music.

"...as unpredictable as music can get... suggestive music made to enjoy!"
melodic.net
"[Singularity] traverses a variety of genres and emotions with the greatest of ease thanks to WOTMC's complex, yet uncluttered musical interplay ("Hurt," "Systematic"), Lemon's lucid, stream of consciousness lyrics ("Inside," "Mindtrap") and [Ancell's] tasteful use of sound effects ("Piece," "Tigerbone")... one of the most polished albums created by a Des Moines band in recent memory.
Des Moines' Cityview
"...accessibility and style coexist harmoniously with an artful and inventive approach, drawing your attention to the methodology without eclipsing the substance."
Cincinnati's CityBeat
"[WOTMC] represents a movement that has been prevalent with bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Tool, and A Perfect Circle: a movement that includes metal guitars, interesting rhythms and experimental sounds. It is an interesting mix, and it takes everything in a new, powerful direction."
