Citizen Soldier

Combining pop-sensible hooks, bombastic guitar riffage, and gut-wrenching lyrics, Citizen Soldier are renowned for taking hard themes head-on and is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing bands in the alternative rock space! CITIZEN SOLDIER Citizen Soldier was born when frontman Jake Segura penned the lyrics to one of their first songs from a psychiatric hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. Segura now sits on the other side of the therapy couch, working as a licensed trauma counsellor to tell the stories of those navigating internal struggles through a no-frills alt/rock post/grunge packaging. The Utah five piece of members Jake Segura (lead vocals), Wonitta (bass/piano) Kyle Persell (drums) Kooper Hanosky (rhythm guitar), and Matt Duffney (lead guitar) doesn't tip toe around the ugliest parts of life, masterfully communicating what many struggle to put into words. They do so through soaring melodic power balladry, infectious instrumental hooks, and gut-punching storytelling. "Citizen Soldier isn't your typical rock band. While many groups dabble in themes of heartbreak or personal struggle, this Utah-based ensemble have made it their mission to confront mental health issues head on." -Phoenix New Times The results speak for themselves; A ravenously loyal fan base that has forced an entirely independent group into the same circles as some of the biggest names in rock music.
