Music City - Welcome To Music City

Ireland's rock legacy runs deep, from Thin Lizzy to The Undertones
Today it's Euro- country queen CMAT, rap rebels Kneecap, and post- punk runners
Fontaines D.C. -- and now Dublin born-London based Music City, adding another bold
chapter to the story with their hook-driven, punk-fired debut Welcome to Music City,
due 6th February 2026 on Redundant Span Records.
The album blends wry storytelling with chiming guitars, stacked harmonies, and
muscular rhythm sections. "I didn't set out with a theme or story arc, but looking back
the album feels like a constant fight between hope and disappointment," shares
songwriter Conor Lumsden (also drummer, singer and songwriter in Dublin favourites
The Number Ones). "It's the peaks and troughs of just trying to get by, in love, against
the outside forces, or the ones inside your own head." New single "Common Sense" is
a swaggering, hook- laden anthem featuring Tina Halladay of Sheer Mag, delivered
with the passion of a 12-year-old playing guitar in the mirror.
Music City have toured with Sheer Mag and Parquet Courts, and recently returned
from Spain and Italy supporting The Lemon Twigs. Put those names together and
you'll start to hear where Music City are coming from...
