Introducing Old City: a Philly punk group emerging as a musical revelation - crafting a transcendent masterpiece that redefines the boundaries of genre.
Their debut full length can be likened to a Punk Rock 'Paul's Boutique': a hip-hop collage meticulously crafted from hundreds of gritty punk samples. Drawing comparisons to Run The Jewels, DJ Shadow, and The Avalanches, Old City pioneers a unique sonic landscape, melding genres into a cohesive and innovative sound.
Conceived by producer Justin Mayer and MC/lyricist Tr38cho (pronounced Tre-Ocho), the project seamlessly integrates cultural depth and emotional resonance into each track. Old City boldly challenges genre conventions by skillfully weaving elements of everything from skatepunk and hardcore to jazz and classical into their distinctive musical tapestry.
Old City's self-titled debut invites listeners on a journey from revelry to introspection while blending the raw power of punk rock with the timeless poetry of hip-hop.
