Parris Mayhew’s new band AGGROS are back with another epic, crushing hardcore/metal song and video called, “City Kids”, the highly anticipated follow up to their debut song and video “Chaos Magic”.
“City Kids” is a landscape of a song, constructed from a conspiracy of Parris’ diverse musical influences. For this song those were primarily BLACK FLAG and RUSH. Parris describes the way “City Kids” came about, “Musicians collect musical memories over the years, memories of what music can be, and they throw those ideas in a toolbox of memory. In part one of the song, I drew from my memory of BLACK FLAG bassist Chuck Dukowski, "the Joe Fraizer" of bass players, for the thunderous bass onslaught. On the second half, titled “Ghosts of New York,” I employed the surgical, three finger, right hand style and finesse inspired by Geddy Lee, a guide that has colored my playing since the beginnings of my high school band, the CRO-MAGS. The lasting imprint on me from both these bands, RUSH and BLACK FLAG and others... forged this music, but for completely different reasons. And when I found myself again meshing these polar opposite influences into one song, it just felt right.”
