Citizen Soldier


A couple of weeks ago, I discovered Citizen Soldier by chance. Thank you, Youtube and your recommendation algorithm. One of the reasons I like this group so much is because their lyrics really touch me. Once upon a time, I felt very similar. The way they are so openly vulnerable yet strong is just beyond words. 

They make me want to either singalong or dance to their work. This their background according to their site: Citizen Soldier was born in 2016 when frontman Jake Segura penned the lyrics to “Let It Burn” from a psychiatric hospital. Now practicing as a clinical therapist, he implements intensely emotional lyrical themes on mental health into their music. The band presents an accessible message that combats stigmatization and provides a group therapy dynamic. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, Segura is joined by guitarists Matt Duffney and Kooper Hanosky, bassist/keyboardist Wonitta, and drummer Kyle Persell.

Here is a sampling of their music : 





Here are some of my favorites. I personally think Jake and Julian from loveless should do another song together. their voices meld so well together. As always, feel free to leave a message below.
