Run For Cover Records has released Young States, the debut EP from Toledo, OH indie rockers Citizen on October 23.  Available on vinyl for the first time, the CD and digital versions will also feature the EP + bonus tracks.

The band have been busy touring this fall with the likes of Aficionado and Mixtapes. A trek with Such Gold, Mixtapes and Raindance is now underway and runs through November 3rd.  On November 8, Citizen kicks off their headline tour, featuring support from State Champs and Candy Hearts. The run marks the band’s first time touring Canada. See dates below.

With influences ranging from Brand New to Knapsack to Sunny Day Real Estate, Citizen started in 2009 as a side project and came to full fruition in 2010. In 2012, the band recorded 2 songs with Will Yip in Conshohocken, PA which made up their side of a split EP with Virginia Beach’s Turnover. Soon after, the band signed to Run For Cover Records, graduated high school, and went on a full US tour with Turnover and Light Years.

Young States was recorded at The Getaway Studio in Boston, MA with Jay Maas (Title Fight, Defeater) and is now available on iTunes at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/young-states/id571761246.

We are very excited to welcome Citizen and Turnover to the Run For Cover roster. The two bands recently finished recording two tracks each for a split 7” that will be out later this spring. Both bands are will be hitting the road together this summer in support of the split, and will also be writing their debut full lengths to be released on Run For Cover at a yet to be determined time.

We’ve put together a teaser video for the split, due out later this spring, on our YouTube page.  This is some of both bands’ best material to date, so check out clips from all four songs by visiting www.youtube.com/runforcovertube

We’ll also be releasing Citizen’s recent EP, Young States on 7”, which you can stream at www.facebook.com/citizentheband. Details on that will be forthcoming.

Check out music and some new merch from each band in our web store at www.runforcoverrecords.com/store and check them both out on facebook at facebook.com/citizentheband and facebook.com/turnoverva
