City Under Siege has a kickoff show in Buffalo, NY on September 27. Then, on October 2, they hit the road. Starting in Rochester, NY, they plan to hit up the entire East Coast down to Jacksonville and Tampa Bay, FL. Catch them in New York City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago and more!<\/p>\n<p>I listened to all City Under Siege\u2019s songs on ReverbNation and <em>Shake <\/em>is my favorite. John admitted that\u2019s one of the band\u2019s favorite songs to play too.<\/p>\n<p>I love how City Under Siege maintains a unique sound, yet each song could be described as a different music genre. When I asked John Wittlinger how he\u2019d describe the band\u2019s music, he told me: \u201cWe are mainly pop, but we are alternative pop. We try to blend a few styles together and try to keep it interesting, but we mainly are trying to be a pop band right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>City Under Siege credits many music influences: \u201cWe like a lot of early 2000\u2019s pop punk bands, like Blink-182 and Sum 41. Some of my biggest influences are bands like Relient K and Brand New. We also listen to a lot of Weezer and classic rock, like The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, when we\u2019re on tour. I don\u2019t know if those influences come through our music so much right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to John Wittlinger on vocals, Matt Buscarino plays guitar and Carl Morse plays bass. When I asked John how the band got together, he told me: \u201cWhen I was back in high school, I worked at a coffee shop that Matt Buscarino\u2019s dad owns. His dad put us together, and we\u2019ve been in bands together ever since. Matt\u2019s the only person that I write well with. Most of our songs are written by me, him or me and him together. Carl Morse came along a bit later. Carl was in one of Matt\u2019s other bands in high school, and we asked him to join our band when we started to write this new EP we just released. We\u2019ve been together for a long time, and there\u2019s good chemistry in the band.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2732\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Dead-Day-Revolution-performing-225x160.jpg\" alt=\"Dead Day Revolution performing\" width=\"225\" height=\"160\" \/>The band\u2019s new EP is self-titled <em>City Under Siege<\/em>; it has seven songs. Five songs were produced down in Atlanta with Matt Malpass and two songs were produced in Buffalo with Jay Zurbrucky, who works with the Goo Goo Dolls and Every Time I Die. The first five songs are a bit more pop and polished. The last two songs are more organic and indie sounding. John says, \u201cI think there\u2019s a really nice mix of songs on the EP, something for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>City Under Siege<\/em> EP is available on iTunes, Amazon and Xbox Live. You can listen to it on Spotify, Pandora. You can stream the entire EP on ReverbNation and buy the songs there. You can also watch music videos for the songs <em>Believe<\/em> and <em>Shake<\/em> on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>The band primarily uses Facebook and ReverbNation as their websites. On the social media side, John explained, \u201cWe\u2019re trying to be more consistent with posting and keeping people interested. We post something every day or two. ReverbNation is great, because we have an email list on there. If you get on our email list, we automatically email all our fans every time we go on tour. We really like using that to keep fans updated. We know fans don\u2019t check into our sites every day, so it\u2019s really nice to have a direct email source to send to people. We try to keep it fun and interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Wittlinger advises other artists: \u201cThe key thing is persistence. Never give up. I can\u2019t tell you how many I\u2019ve been told \u2018No\u2019 or doors shut. I feel the bands that make it and the bands that continue to make it are the bands that don\u2019t take \u2018No\u2019 for an answer. The market is super-saturated with really good pop bands. Stay persistent and true to yourself and create music that you know is great. Sooner or later, you\u2019re going to push up through the cracks and somebody\u2019s going to find you; because sooner or later, all the other bands who are not as persistent will fall by the wayside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I like that: Don\u2019t take \u2018No\u2019 for an answer.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the complete video interview on the Amused Now YouTube channel: \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/GAXtaFVlno0\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/GAXtaFVlno0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2741\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/John-Wittlinger-singing-full-body-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"John Wittlinger singing \" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/John-Wittlinger-singing-full-body-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/John-Wittlinger-singing-full-body-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/John-Wittlinger-singing-full-body-225x225-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/John-Wittlinger-singing-full-body-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/John-Wittlinger-singing-full-body-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/John-Wittlinger-singing-full-body-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>John Wittlinger, City Under Siege<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reverbnation.com\/cityundersiege\" target=\"_blank\">www.reverbnation.com\/cityundersiege<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/cusrock\" target=\"_blank\">@cusrock<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CityUnderSiegeMe\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106670151491513643791\/posts\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Amused_Now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106372266016264510992\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Before City Under Siege\u2019s tour of the East Coast and Midwest, John Wittlinger (lead vocals) took time out to meet with me and share insight into the band\u2019s back story and current projects.
