This City Limits are a modern punk group from Leeds. The band forms in 2013 and is active to the present day. Its line-up consists of lead vocalist Will Turner, lead guitarist George Turner, drummer Josh Peters and bassist Rob Burns.

Background

Brothers Will and George Turner come together in 2013 after having played separately for a number of years. Rob Burns and Josh Peters join soon after, completing the group’s line-up.

Style and influences

The band’s sound draws on American punk and alternative groups including Rise Against, Polar Bear Club and Against Me!, as well as British acts such as We Are The Ocean and Mallory Knox.

Releases

Their debut EP, Brittle Brass & Broken Bone, appears in October 2013 and receives an encouraging response. The band then begins work on follow-up material. In April 2014 they release the single “Amputate” with an accompanying video; it gains positive critical attention and draws notice from national press and radio. A second single, “Colourblind”, follows in July and is also well received by national critics.
