Ten City Nation

**Ten City Nation** is a London-based indie rock band known for their energetic blend of post-punk grit and melodic hooks. Formed in the late ’90s, they carved out a niche in the UK’s DIY music scene with their self-produced, raw yet polished sound. Their music often balances introspective lyricism with driving rhythms, drawing comparisons to acts like Idlewild or early Manic Street Preachers. Over the years, they’ve built a loyal following through relentless gigging and a string of self-released records, including the punchy *Golden Rays EP* (2020) and the anthemic *Futures* (2021).

The band’s collaborative spirit shines in projects like their split release *Ten City Nation / The Shills*, showcasing their knack for camaraderie within the indie scene. Whether on record or stage, Ten City Nation thrives on a no-frills, heartfelt approach—a testament to their enduring presence in grassroots rock.
