City and Colour w/ William Elliott Whitmore

Solo projects are inherently a risk. Traditionally, few members of any prominent band have seen success in this sort of undertaking, and even fewer have enjoyed both critical and commercial success. Add to this the bizarre notion of creating stripped-down music that doesn’t even reference the original band’s genre, and you certainly have less examples of success to point to. Until a couple of years ago, Dallas Green was better known as the dulcet voice of Alexisonfire. During some time off between tours, Dallas Green assembled a collection of songs he had been writing over the years. In 2005, Green quietly debuted his full-length album titled “Sometimes” under the solo moniker, City and Colour. “Bring Me Your Love” is City and Colour’s sophomore studio album. It evolves and adds layers to the sentiments in those vulnerable moments shared by Green on his original independent release. Green continues to demonstrate his talents as a musician, singer and songwriter moving comfortably and seamlessly between City and Colour and his role anchoring a successful post-hardcore band. The dozen tracks on “Bring Me Your Love” are a beautiful insight into the quieter side of a legitimate artist.
