4. City And Colour
Folk/singer songwriter/blues
For some, this man needs as little an introduction as I said Reading and Leeds did, for others he'll need all the introduction I'm going to give him, so we here go; Dallas Green (see, city and colour, get it?) started out his musical career in seminal, yet underappreciated, post-hardcore outfit Alexisonfire, who are unfortunately no more but got back together for a farewell tour last year, and I was there, in London. Sigh. Anyway, alongside Alexis, Dallas also pursued a solo career in City and Colour in which he could flex his more melodic muscles through folk, country and blues infused singer songwriting. His intentions of focussing on this solo career partially lead to the untimely demise of Alexis, but has allowed Dallas to focus on churning out some genuinely stunning songs that compliment his soaring vocals perfectly. http://youtu.be/bZqnqH9s1jk
