Freedom of The City are an indie rock band born out of the musical Mecca that is Manchester. The four-piece are defined by their epic soundscapes, thumping chorus and genre defying brand of alternative rock. FOTC are creating music for right now.

Founded by writer and lead vocalist, George Brown, FOTC were brought together by their passion for music and bring together a wide blend of musical talent. Touring at festivals and venues around the country, they have honed their craft, defining the unique FOTC sound.

The four-piece are about big noise and production values and this single's no exception with an epic chanting hook. "When we were Boy's" Is a Nostalgia laced track full of reflective lyrics that roll back the years. The bands influences are layered on here with strings and brass to create something that's not to complexed but anthemic. Pounding beats create drama that soars into a roaring chorus’that makes a crowd want to stand up, shout out and get involved.

For the band, influences come from everywhere. From Springsteen to Alanis Morissette and Peter Gabriel to The Prodigy. Diverse inspiration fuels a sound that is never quite defined by a single genre. Rules are broken and rewritten to create a noise that is only FOTC.

FOTC have captured the attention of some of the biggest names in the music business, recently collaborating with Manchester producing legend and sound engineer, Andy Macpherson to produce their first album. Andy has worked with musical icons including The Who, Deborah Harry, Corey Hart, Teenage Fanclub, Sad Cafe, Eric Clapton and many more.
