Review: Citizen – Calling The Dogs
It’s been a little over two and a half years since Citizen released their exceptional album “Life in Your Glass World,” solidifying their position as one of my all-time favorite bands. In that time, my admiration for Citizen has remained unwavering. From their iconic debut “Youth” to the grittier and heavier “Everybody is Going to Heaven,” and now with their upcoming album “Calling the Dogs,” their brand of emo-infused alternative rock has always resonated with me. Their songs are filled with emotion and care, often effortlessly blending accessibility with moments of pure pop brilliance. Moreover, while the entire band is immensely talented, Mat Kerekes’ vocals are undoubtedly a significant part of what makes Citizen so appealing.
