OneStarCity: Lion Fights in the Streets of Hollywood

by Ayla Duncan – Sir Charles Tupper Secondary, Vancouver BC May 27, 2009

3 stars

Up-and-coming band rising to the surface in the Vancouver music scene.

With a flashy album cover and quirky song titles, OneStarCity is nudging there way in to Vancouver’s hardcore music scene. The Vancouver-based band’s debut album Lion Fights in the Streets of Hollywood slowly builds, reaching its peak toward the second half of the disc. OneStarCity maintains a level of high energy throughout the album, although there are a few tracks that lack a dynamic sound that keeps listeners captivated. OneStarCity is clearly still finding itself as a band, but by adding some dimension and experimenting with the music they have potential to stand out on stage.

Ayla’s fave track: Lost in a Moment
