Winded City

Winded City formed in the Chicago suburbs in 2010 and quickly became a known alternative to the area’s pop punk scene. Coming from early influences like <a href="spotify:artist:6olE6TJLqED3rqDCT0FyPh" data-name="Nirvana">Nirvana</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:40Yq4vzPs9VNUrIBG5Jr2i" data-name="The Smashing Pumpkins">The Smashing Pumpkins</a>, the band harbors an intense sound with an equally strong affinity for attractive melodies. They have since found a way to combine their members’ individual musical tastes to create an eclectic and unique brand of alternative rock. The quartet mixes a variety of genres to create a style described as “mood rock”, a wide soundscape that goes from dreamy to funky while maintaining a foundation in the alternative rock roots that started the band in the first place.
