Bio
Citizens is a Belgian band from the small town of Leuven, consisting of four friends Jingwei (vocals/guitar), Xavier (guitar), Jasper (bass) and Michiel (drums). Although the band had been a 3-piece since the formation of the band in 2012, Xavier joined the band in the summer of 2013, adding that extra sparkle to the band's sound which they had long been looking for. They are currently selected for Humo's Rock Rally, Belgium's most famous and prestigious rockrally.
Their music has a laid-back, nostalgic vibe to it, which isn't difficult to relate to for anyone, really. In a way, every song comes down to the same central idea that could be seen as the band's main philosophy: No unnecessary complex sounds or structures, just easy-listening, soothing music in which the song's vibe and emotions remain the most important elements.
If you think this is all a load of bullshit, you're probably right. Since they aren't writers, but musicians (or atleast they'd like to think they are), we suggest we let the music have the final word.
